Project objectives:

Short summary A Dutch SME active in synergistic biopesticides is preparing a EUROSTARS proposal and is looking for partners to form a consortium (call deadline 9th of March). The aim of the project is to develop a plant protection product on the basis of an enzym to control fungus (Botrytis) in specific crops (to be defined). Deadline for sending expressions of interest is the 18th of January 2023.

Full description There is a growing demand from growers for non-toxic biological crop protection products. A Dutch company is developing a highly and wide effective, low cost biological crop protection ingredient, based on enzymes and other small molecules. The company's next step is to develop this ingredient into a technical viable product with partners in a EUROSTARS project. Within the forseen EUROSTARS project, the Dutch SMEs focus would be on the analytics, organization of fermentation & formulation, and performance validation (in vitro, and on plants). The main task of the project partners would be on performance testing on whole plants, including field trials and registration preparation. Within the three years of the Eurostars project, it will not be possible to finalize the registration, but a basic set of studies and registration preparation could be part of the project. Fermentation and formulation could be added to the project either through full partnership or through subcontracting. The company is looking for different partners from growers for the performance testing to R&D organisations. A research cooperation agreement is envisioned.

Advantages and innovations - No use of Toxic chemicals - Environment friendly
