Summary: |
Trichoderma spp. (TCD) have several applications in agriculture
as biofungicides, biostimulants and soil remediators. However,
the insecticidal action of TCD and derivatives has never been
properly explored. Taking advantage of our experience in
developing bioinsecticides and TCD derivatives, we intend to
test their effectiveness against the American grapevine
leafhopper, which causes great losses to winegrowers in the
EU, including in Portugal. |
