MELIOR’API INTERREG VI-A France – Italia ALCOTRA 2021-2027

IPSP is working on behalf of the University of Turin on bee virus diagnosis in the Melior’api project, funded by ALCOTRA 2021-2027. The project consists of 8 points: The goal of the Melior’api project is to enable beekeepers to improve the results of their operations by selecting queens that show the best performance during the season in terms of production, population dynamism, Varroa resistance, and winter survival. The Melior’api project uses a multicriteria indicator (operator) to rank colonies in an apiary dedicated to this selection operation. This indicator (operator) ranks…

Metodi Innovativi per la DIfesa dalla Flavescenza Dorata della vite (MIDI)

Grapevine flavescence dorée (FD) is a serious economic problem for the Piedmont wine industry. In the last three years, there has been a resurgence that in some situations is justified by the high presence of the vector insect, Scaphoideus titanus. This situation requires further studies also in the light of the most recent knowledge about the insect and the disease, both with in-depth scientific studies and field trials to verify the effectiveness of insecticide treatments and the use of biostimulant formulations in order to raise plant’s defences, by stimulating the…
