ADER 1.1.10: Identification of genotypes tolerant to thermal, water and biotic stress among traditional vegetable species suited to the technological systems specific to organic and conservation agriculture

  • Implementation period: 2011-2014

Project objectives

  • Testing, with a view to identification, of genotypes tolerant to thermal, water and biotic stress among traditional vegetable species suited to the technological systems specific to organic and conservation agriculture;
  • Creation of new varieties / hybrids tolerant to thermal, water and biotic stress;
  • Introduction of the new varieties into the selection process.

Results

  • Conservation and multiplication of genetic resources;
  • Organisation of and participation in working visits and discussion sessions in the experimental fields and demonstration plots;
  • Active participation in themed exhibitions, with a view to promoting the research results and the valuable genetic material.
  • Publication of six articles in B+ rated journals and two articles in ISI-indexed journals;
  • Presentation of scientific papers at specialist symposia.
