Description
PINEA promotes the recovery of Iberian pine nut production through innovative management of the biotic and abiotic effects that are destroying it: Leptoglossus occidentalis and extreme drought.
Objectives
- To determine the parameters and variables related to Leptoglossus occidentalis that affect the production of Iberian pine nuts.
- Establish a methodology for predicting the Pinus pinea pineapple harvest.
- Determine management measures to improve the pineapple harvest in stands and in new Pinus pinea plantations.
Results
- Greater knowledge about the life cycle of Leptoglossus occidentalis.
- Obtaining possible precursor substances of a pheromone with semiochemicals obtained from the pest insect itself that show clear signs of certain interaction and greater activity.
- Useful information on the behaviour of different Pinus pinea clones when attacked by the insect pest.
- Determination of the climatic variables that have the greatest impact on the vulnerability of stone pine stands through monitoring of environmental and production variables with remote and terrestrial sensors.
- Update and development of the public version of the Pinea Climadat app and preparation of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Manual for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) for the characterization of pine trees and direct assessment of the harvest.
- Development of the Stone Pine Management Manual and the application protocol for the insecticide Deltamethrin 2.5% W/V for the control of Leptoglossus occidentalis in Pinus pinea plantations.
