¿Se puede controlar la plaga de Xylella? ¿Qué soluciones de tratamiento y prevención existen? ¿Cuál es la situación en la Comunidad Valenciana?
El Xylella Forum de este año, organizado por el proyecto BIOVEXO, debatirá estas cuestiones desde una amplia perspectiva, que incluye tanto a agricultores y productores de almendra, como a la comunidad científica y empresarial implicada en investigar y desarrollar soluciones contra la plaga, sin olvidar a las comunidades locales afectadas.
l foro contará con las aportaciones de máximos expertos en la materia, conocedores de la situación a nivel español y europeo, así como de varios investigadores que trabajan activamente en la plaga, incluyendo expertos de proyectos financiados por la Comisión Europea, p.ej. BIOVEXO.
Tras las exposiciones, tendrá lugar una mesa redonda en la que se debatirá de forma abierta la situación real y las posibles soluciones futuras. El panel está compuesto por representantes de la industria de la almendra, expertos en desarrollo local y agricultores afectados.
Al finalizar la jornada se ofrecerá a los asistentes una copa de vino local y cena networking, tipo buffet, en las mismas instalaciones del evento, el Hotel Maya de Alicante.

Bio-based chemical products - a key to sustainable economy
15th December 2021, Vienna/online
The annual event, organised by Austrian Ministry for Climate (BMK) and Austrian Association of Chemical Industries (FCIO), takes a look at current R&D activities in the field of “bio-based industry” financed by the BMK or the Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU). It offers actors from business, science, associations and politics in this field a platform for networking and exchanging experiences.
The rich program features a.o. Philippe Mengal, Executive Director of BBI JU, introducing the new Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU), or Stephen Webb, CEO of RTDS, presenting the project BIOVEXO.
Whereas the above contributions will be in English, most of the others will be in German. The event starting at 9.30 will be streamed; a registration at the program page is requested.

Status quo, expectations & research
28th October 2021, Locorotondo, Italy
Can Xylella disease in olives be controlled?
How far are we in developing treatment and preventive solutions?
What is the situation in Italy?
These were the issues discussed during this year’s Xylella Forum organised by the BIOVEXO project in Apulia in October 2021. A large number of participants, not least from the farmers’ community, clearly indicated how much expectation there is on research.
Some of the key messages from the discussion:
- There is an urgent need to raise farmers awareness and responsibility, particularly in the buffer and containment areas, to apply regional sanitary prescriptions for vector control and containment measures.
- Farmers and general public in the “North” of Apulia and beyond need to be made aware of the drasticity of the situation in the “South” of Apulia.
- There is an urgent need to develop biocontrol solutions to implement in an IPM strategy.
- Farmers need financial and technical support for removal of infected trees, grafting, and replacement of susceptible cultivars with resistant ones.
- Public administration needs to rely on science to propose reasonable and effective measures and to deliver proper communication campaign.
