Good practices for a self-controlled and sustainable management in ornamental nurseries
From the perspective of "Adversity control with a low impact method" the main objective of the project is to spread the application of innovative protocols that, through the use of new tools to monitor crops, allow to decrease:
1. the risk of the introduction of exotic pathogens and phytoparasites (from quarantine or not) or their vectors (in particular for viruses and phytoplasmas) to the implementation of the "Protocol for selfcontrol phytosanitary";
2. the use of plant protection products with particular attention to alternative methods to the chemical fight.
1. Preventive monitoring activities aimed at limiting the risk of introduction of quarantine pests that are regularly compiled by the research organizations of the partnership and updated by the Regional Phytosanitary Service will transfer the alerts to nurseries.
2. Induce operational changes within the companies that initially will have to train their staff for visual recognition and not the phytosanitary problems and for the placement of various types of traps to be installed in places of arrival of plants.
3. Train the company technicians through the demonstration actions of the project and with the dissemination of the results.
Ornamental nursery is an important sector of Italian agriculture and especially for Tuscany where there are about 2500 nursery businesses, 50% of which fall within the province of Pistoia. The globalization of markets is leading to a greater introduction of new exotic species and new cultivars of already cultivated plants. In this context, the risk of introduction of alien pathogens and phytoparasites (from quarantine or not) or their vectors (in particular for viruses and phytoplasmas) has increased significantly, and in fact, there are increasingly reports of damage caused by organisms or infectious agents. not yet present in Italy or already present in Italy, but observed for the first time on ornamental species. Aware of the emerging problems and the serious impact that findings of quarantine organizations can determine on a commercial level, on April 20, 2015, the "Protocol for Self-checking phytosanitary" was signed between the Tuscany Region and the Ornamental Vivaistic District of Pistoia, with the main aim of starting up a phytosanitary qualification process of regional nursery products.To follow up what has been started at the level of intent, with a view to efficient prevention, we want to stimulate the "in-field" application of new technologies in the field of the phytopathological diagnostics, the evolution of the means of diagnosis allows today to carry out analyzes quickly, with greater precision and usability giving the opportunity to intervene early before a given problem can spread.
