HORIZON 2020 | Phase II

Duration

July 2015 - December 2017

Budget

1,825,594€

Status

Finalizado

Objectives

  • To obtain biopesticides through agro-food industry resource-recovery, and the adaptation-domestication of endemic plants.
  • To adopt a methodology regarding the preparation of bioprotectors.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 673526.

Projection

Thanks to this project, we developed at Cannabis Biotechnological Developments, the internal projects RED SPIDER and WHITE FLY, with which we have been able to design and produce a new generation of biopesticides. These are composed of several specific formulations for the control of great-impact pests in the medical Cannabis crop, such as:

  • FLYKO, biopesticide for the control of different species of whitefly.
  • SPIKO, bioacaricide that prevents the red spider from completing its life cycle.
  • FUNKO, biofungicide with a broad spectrum of action to control various fungal diseases caused by powdery mildew, Botrytis, or Mycosphaerella.
