"Revolutionary Solution for Grape Rot"

Discover the innovative solution developed by researchers from the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) and the Institute of Agro-Food Research and Technology (IRTA) to combat grape rot, a major challenge in the wine industry caused by Botrytis cinerea. This video reveals a revolutionary formulation in the form of water-dispersible granules that provide biological protection for grape crops. The granules create an edible, harmless film over the grapes, significantly enhancing resistance to environmental factors like rain.

Join Amparo Chiralt, a researcher at UPV's Institute of Food Engineering for Development, as she explains how this film helps anchor beneficial microorganisms to the plant, boosting resilience against adverse weather conditions. This groundbreaking research, published in the journal Biological Control, is supported by the National Institute of Agricultural Research (INIA) and the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER).

Learn about the optimal storage conditions for maintaining the effectiveness and longevity of this product, as shared by researcher Ana Marín. Farmers can easily dissolve the granules in water to revitalize Candida sake cells and apply the mixture to their crops, offering a simple yet effective solution for grape growers.
