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.
