The collaborative laboratory (CoLAB) InnovPlantProtect<\/strong> (InPP) was present at the Ovibeja 2022<\/a><\/strong>, no stand 64<\/strong> of Institutional Pavilion<\/strong>, The event will take place at the Manuel de Castro e Brito Fair and Exhibition Park, in Beja, between April 21 and 25, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the stand, it was possible to find out more about InPP's activity in the field of developing bio-inspired solutions for protecting crops against pests and diseases, including specific services and products that CoLAB is already prepared to offer to different sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the 33-strong team of researchers was on site throughout the five days of the fair to demonstrate InPP's various capabilities to visitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department of New Biopesticides<\/a><\/strong>, for example, showed biological control agents (BCA) - fungi and bacteria in Petri dishes - as well as healthy rice plants infected with the fungus Magnaporthe<\/em> oryzae<\/em>, which causes rice pyriculariosis, and some BCA which inhibit the M. oryzae<\/em>. The Department of Formulations and Process Development<\/a><\/strong> took samples demonstrating the encapsulation of active biocontrol agents (pre- and post-processing), allowing visitors to produce alginate \u201cballs\u201d (small capsules) with their own hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Researchers from the Department of Data Management and Risk Analysis<\/a><\/strong> talked about microbiome analysis and the development of risk models, and demonstrated the dashboard<\/em> of a weather calculator developed at InPP. In terms of Protection of Specific Crops<\/a><\/strong>, It was also possible to learn more about the laboratory services we offer, namely molecular identification and diagnosis, as well as how biocontrol tests work. in vitro<\/em>, and monitor the work carried out on the wheat disease yellow rust, among many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department of Pest and Disease Monitoring and Diagnosis<\/a><\/strong> presented the projects \u201cThe word to chestnut trees: educate them to know, protect and monitor them through IoT technology<\/a>\u201d e \u201cThe green leafhopper, a pest in the vineyards of southern Portugal: diagnostic methods and monitoring tools<\/a>\u201c. Also featured were GIS-based decision support systems, spatial databases and web\/mobile applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Videos, photos and presentations were always available on a monitor, so that visitors could virtually \u201center\u201d our house, laboratories, fieldwork, events and other initiatives, as well as chat with the team present to welcome them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

COLLOQUIA 38TH OVIBEJA<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the Saturday, April 23rd at 3pm<\/strong>, In the ACOS Auditorium, the InPP organized a colloquium on the subject of \u201cProtecting crops to feed the world: from soil microorganisms to pest and disease monitoring techniques\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The executive director of InPP took part in this conference, Pedro February<\/a>, who presented CoLAB, iLaria Marengo<\/a>, director of the Monitoring and Diagnostics department, who spoke about remote sensing applied to crop protection, and Ricardo Ramiro<\/a>, director of the Data Management and Risk Analysis department, who addressed the topic of the soil microbiome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pedro Fevereiro also took part in the seminar ACOS<\/a> - The Southern Farmers' Association organized on the 23rd at 10:30 a.m.<\/strong>, entitled \u201cHow to feed the planet?\u201d<\/strong>, the theme of Ovibeja 2022, at the ACOS Auditorium, and at the colloquium \u201cThe European Green Agenda. Agricultural sustainability and food sovereignty\u201d<\/strong>, which took place at the Friday, April 22nd at 4pm<\/strong>, at the Expobeja Auditorium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OTHER ACTIVITIES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cConsult\u00f3rio das Plantas<\/strong>\u201d was the name of the activity aimed at the youngest that InPP held on Saturday 23rd<\/strong>, at around 4pm, as part of the programming of the Alentejo Agricultural and Agri-Food Biotechnology Center (Centro de Biotecnologia Agricola e Agro-Alimentar do Alentejo) (CEBAL<\/a>) at the 38th Ovibeja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To demonstrate the importance of treating diseased plants with environmentally sustainable solutions, InPP researcher T\u00e2nia Pinto<\/a> took samples of olive trees infected with peacock's eye, a disease caused by the fungus Spilocaea oleaginea<\/em>, and Petri dishes with fungi, to explain the importance of analyzing the pathogen in search of a solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. T\u00e2nia sprayed the diseased sample with a \u201cbiomedicine\u201d spray and showed examples of healthy olive trees so that the young visitors could see the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the sunday late morning<\/strong>, The executive director of InPP, Pedro Fevereiro, will be with CEBAL for an informal chat with visitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
