Plataforma Asesores AKIS

This project meets a large number of objectives of the Andalusian Bioeconomy Strategy, which states that "the Andalusian agri-food sector is a model where research and innovation have a great capacity to be incorporated, with growing interest in bioproducts from plant remains, with a powerful technical and scientific infrastructure and an interconnected, plural and diverse business fabric, where biotechnological innovations are rapidly disseminated and safely implemented." The project proposes improving the management of plant waste from a circular economy perspective, enabling its reuse

The project proposes a conservation biological control strategy, underdeveloped and underexplored in protected horticultural crops, that can contribute to incorporating another tool into integrated pest management guidelines for these crops. Appropriate habitat management, incorporating species in biodiversity islands within greenhouses that are useful for pest control in protected crops and that do not serve as reservoirs for viruses that pose a risk to crops, can contribute to a reduced need for phytosanitary products in a climate change scenario where an increase in pest incidence is
