Seipasa Advances Research on Bioprotection for Olive Crops
Seipasa, a Spanish company specializing in the development and manufacturing of bioinsecticides, biofungicides, biostimulants, and nutritional treatments, has secured support from Ivace+i Innovation for its participation in the BioTubeROl research project.
The project is focused on developing controlled-release systems for natural phytopharmaceuticals to address two major diseases affecting olive trees: olive knot (Pseudomonas savastanoi) and peacock spot (Venturia oleaginea).
BioTubeROl aims to reduce bacterial and fungal colonization in olive trees, with the objective of limiting plant damage and supporting productivity and crop quality. The research centers on designing and validating a bioprotection product based on encapsulated active compounds with biocidal properties.
