Conferenza su Xylella fastidiosa: 29 e 30 ottobre 2019
Seconda conferenza europea su Xylella fastidiosa
Circa 350 specialisti di salute delle piante provenienti da tutto il mondo si sono riuniti in Corsica per due giornate di intensi dibattiti su come la scienza possa contribuire a trovare soluzioni contro Xylella fastidiosa, il patogeno delle piante che sta provocando danni ambientali ed economici in tutta Europa. Centinaia di spettatori hanno seguito i lavori in diretta streaming via Internet.
Alla conferenza sono state presentate le ultime risultanze dei progetti europei di ricerca in tema di X. fastidiosa, in particolare gli esiti del progetto POnTE-Horizon 2020. Per i partecipanti la conferenza ha rappresentato anche un’opportunità di aggiornarsi sugli ultimi progressi e acquisizioni di altre attività di ricerca nazionali e transnazionali in atto in tutto il mondo e di discutere delle modalità per rinsaldare coordinamento e sinergie.
Il programma prevedeva presentazioni e dibattiti sulle più recenti acquisizioni e dati su X. Fastidiosa, le sue piante ospiti e i vettori nonché le opzioni di controllo. Le presentazioni e una selezioni di filmati tratti dalla conferenza sono scaricabili in basso.
La conferenza è stata organizzata congiuntamente da EFSA; Istituto nazionale francese per la ricerca agricola (INRA); Agenzia francese per l'alimentazione, l'ambiente e la salute e sicurezza sul lavoro (ANSES); Ufficio Ambiente della Corsica (OEC) tramite il suo dipartimento Conservatoire Botanique National de Corse; i progetti finanziati dall'UE POnTE, XF-ACTORS, CURE-XF e EuroXanth; e la Euphrescorete per il coordinamento e il finanziamento alla ricerca in ambito fitosanitario.
