Abstract

Agromic proposes the technological validation of a zero-residue fungicide in partnership with VSF Agro, targeting the control of powdery mildew and rust in grapevines. This validation will occur under real field conditions, including formulation preparation, development of experimental protocols, field tests, data analysis, and report preparation. The proposed technology is crucial for the agricultural sector, offering a sustainable and effective solution for fungal disease control without harmful residues. This aligns with the growing demand for safe and environmentally responsible agricultural practices, contributing to safer food production and facilitating exports by meeting stringent phytosanitary standards. Collaboration with VSF Agro, providing infrastructure and human resources, ensures robust validation and market integration, enhancing Agromic's commercial success prospects. (AU)
