El objetivo de la innovación que se propone es incrementar la competitividad del sector oleícola catalán a través de la obtención de aceite de oliva de alta calidad, minimizando el impacto medioambiental de los métodos de control de la principal plaga clave de los olivos en Cataluña: la mosca del olivo, mediante preferentemente el uso de nuevos atrayentes sólidos, ya determinar la dosis por hectárea mínima eficiente con el objetivo de minimizar el coste económico, ya que seguir trabajando con atrayentes líquidos como puede dificultar la viabilidad de este sistema. Los principales objetivos fijados de la propuesta serían: • Determinar la superficie mínima necesaria para un control efectivo de la captura masiva de Bactrocera oleae, R. • Determinar la cobertura / dosis por su efectividad en superficies pequeñas de la captura masiva de Bactrocera oleae, R. • Determinar la eficacia de diferentes combinaciones de mosqueros y atrayentes en la captura de Bactrocera oleae, R. Evaluar la protección a la picadura de Bactrocera oleae, R. obtenidas mediante las técnicas no convencionales, es decir, sistemas o productos de origen natural.

Agricultural run-off and subsurface drainage tiles transport a significant amount of nitrogen and phosphorus leached after fertilization. alchemia-nova GmbH in collaboration with University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna developed two multi-layer vertical filter systems to address the agricultural run-off issue, which has been installed on the slope of an agricultural field in Mistelbach, Austria. While another multi-layer addressing subsurface drainage water is implemented in Gleisdorf, Austria. The goal is to develop a drainage filter system to retain water and nutrients. Both multi-layer filter systems contain biochar and other substrates with adsorption properties of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus). The filter system can be of practical use if an excess of nutrients being washed out is of concern in the fields of the practitioner by keeping the surrounding waters clean. This approach may result in economic value by re-using the saturated biochar as fertilizer and improving the soil structure, thus increasing long-term soil fertility.

FACTSHEET NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY Key information Functionalized nanocellulose membranes can take up nitrate and phosphate. These membranes can be put in a water treatment unit. As the membranes are biobased, degradable materials, they can after use be added to the soil, thus returning the leached nutrients back for their original purpose providing fertilizers (nutrient recycling).
Because variables such as temperature and humidity have a profound effect on the activity of crop pests, diseases and natural enemies, the ability to monitor environmental conditions within a crop has always been important for crop protection.
