24:28 – Climate change is promoting an “invasion” of pests of plants and crops throughout the European territory. Sounding the alert, with a black list of 63 pathogenic “killer” most dangerous , is the center of the University of Turin Agroinnova Plantfoodsec the project, financed by EU funds. According to the researchers to risk wilting are 21 strategic crops for Europe , including some crucial for Italy as a vine, olives, tomatoes, lettuce, oranges and sunflowers.

“Climate change in Italy will have a negative impact: biological threats will be more frequent and more likely,” says Maria Ludovica Gullino, director of Agroinnova. A nightmare that Italy already has experienced recently with the contamination of olive trees by the Xylella. Among the 63 pest killers of particular concern “some mushrooms – add – such as mildew belbahri , devastating for the basil, or mildew of the vine , the soil fungi and wheat rusts, which will increase in severity and will be the earliest “.

The tests with” time machines “ – to indicate the tests are conducted in “phytotrons” the center of Turin, a kind of full-time machine, “where we could see – tells the Gullino – the effects of rising temperatures on plants, from salads to trees, such as poplars.” To run for cover immediately and help in the fight against the growing threat of pest killer, “with the project Plantfoodsec we created models of risk analysis tested on over a hundred scenarios, that crossing dozens of parameters, including temperature, can give valuable information “.

Switch to counter – The threat also extends to other crops such as rice and ornamental plants. To avoid surprises, the first step “is the diagnosis, prevention from seeds.” Experts recommend it to heal those affected by a tanning with sustainable methods already available “as water or hot air, essential oils or the combination of heat and oils, less invasive than it is instead forced to implement later in the field “.

Breeding – To address climate change” is the tool to use genetic improvement, not necessarily with transgenesis but through breeding with traditional methods, species to create plant varieties more resistant to phenomena such as drought, “said the director of Agroinnova.
