HELLENIFERA

WORD PACKAGE 1.1

  • Screening of genetic resources able to cope with the main biotic stresses
  • Provide 1620 accessions from 130 Greek varieties, 50 accessions from 25 international varieties
  • Rating of resistance degree for PM, DM and GTD (AUTH, CNR) either in leaf discs or field winter 2024-2025 wood cutting will be multiplied from the selection of interesting accessions and somaclones and used to produce cuttings
  • Providing material for 2025 experiments

WORD PACKAGE 2.3

  • Induction of somaclonal variation to produce mutants resilient to different environmental conditions
  • Provide in 2025 cultivars for the production of mutants

WORD PACKAGE 3.1

  • Evaluate (under field conditions) the performance of different IPM strategies against foliar/bunch diseases
  • Provide experimental fields of 2 genotypes: A local resistant variety (Moschofilero or Asyrtiko) vs an international susceptible one (Sauvignon Blanc???)
  • Evaluate IPM strategies: one BCA and several elicitors vs conventional fungicides
  • 2024/2026: experiments of 3 years duration on the selected genotypes –Possible expansion to a second experimental vineyard in another geographic region during 2025 and 2026

WORD PACKAGE 3.3

  • Determine the influence of IPM strategies on the agroecosystem
  • 2024- Effect of the pruning wound age and variety susceptibility to GTS on the wound microbiome
  • 2025/2026 – microbiome analysis on leaves/berry samples from plants treated with the most effective IPM strategies identified in Task 3.1

WORD PACKAGE 4.1

  • Study the socio-economic impact of selected practices on farmers and to assess their performance by defining and quantifying various economic, social, and environmental indicators.
  • 3 interviews + 20 Questionnaire Deliverable M18 (July 2025)
  • 20 Questionnaire Task 4.2 + Task 4.3 +Task 4.4 (October 2025)

WORD PACKAGE 5.1

  • Offer at least 2 demonstration farms that will be decided by the end of Y1

WORD PACKAGE 5.2

  • Organize field trainings at the demonstrational sites (at least 10 per year/ 1 in Greece and 20 in total) inviting actors utilising the thematic networks

WORD PACKAGE 5.3

  • Develop training material for advisors on best IPM practices applied on tolerant genotypes, combining results from IPM strategies of WP3 and impact analysis of WP4.
  • Present 6 pest management strategies that will be tested during the experimental phase of the project covering 3 different genotypes (hybrids, local, somaclones) and 2 farming systems (conventional, organic).
  • A second edition will be drafted adding the results from the impact assessment (WP4) and the field validation (WP5) and will be delivered by a mix of presentations, videos and how-to manuals.
