🌿 Field day & training session at @irtacat within #SAFWA! Topics covered: ✅ Bacillus thuringiensis in citrus IPM ✅ Vegetation cover for biological control ✅ Efficient pesticide application Training farmers for safer & more sustainable agriculture @PrimaProgram

How can we reduce pesticide pollution in agriculture? The @PrimaSafwa project promotes sustainable farming practices and innovative biopesticides to protect crops while preserving soil and water. 🎥 Watch the video by @MTMtinezFerrer from @irtacat to learn what biopesticides are

Des del 2025 tenim en marxa el projecte STORED-IPM, una iniciativa per avançar cap a un control més #sostenible de les plagues en productes emmagatzemats.🌾 Treballem per reduir la dependència d’insecticides químics i millorar la seguretat #alimentària. irta.cat/noticia/impuls…

Inspiring the next generation of scientists and farmers🌱 At Université Saint-Joseph de Beyrouth @USJLiban , Mireille Kallassy introduced students to the goals of the SAFWA project @PrimaSafwa the importance of biocontrol.

How can we move from detection to decision in sustainable pest management? SAFWA will present its work on Bt-based biopesticides and farmer training to reduce land and water pollution during the NextGenBioPest clustering event. 📅 17 March | 10:30–12:00 CET

Més de 250 professionals de l’IRTA ens hem reunit aquesta setmana a Vic per celebrar la Jornada de l’Àrea Vegetal! 🌿 Una trobada per abordar reptes com: canvi climàtic, salut del sòl, biodiversitat, plagues, genòmica, digitalització i viticultura. irta.cat/noticia/la-pri…

We are proud of the positive reception to SAFWA’s contributions and grateful for the chance to exchange knowledge on cleaner, safer, and more resilient farming systems. 📸 Below: posters & presentation highlights from SAFWA at the event. #SAFWA #Biopesticides #IPM @PrimaProgram

IRTA’s Dr. María Teresa Martínez Ferrer, SAFWA partner, served as Convenor of the IOBC-WPRS Working Group, reinforcing the visibility of the project and strengthening collaboration with researchers and technical centres committed to sustainable IPM. 🤝✨

The project presented several contributions, including posters and oral presentations by SAFWA partners. These works highlighted advances in Bt-based biopesticides, and strategies to reduce land and water pollution through safer agricultural practices. 💧🌍

Our results from citrus, olive, pomegranate and tomato trials attracted strong interest. We also shared updates on scale-up processes for new Bt formulations, waste-water reuse in bioprocessing, and farmer training activities—core pillars of SAFWA’s mission. 🔬🍋🍅

Great participation of the SAFWA project at the IOBC-WPRS meeting on Integrated Control in Citrus Fruit Crops, hosted by UJI and co-organized with IRTA. SAFWA played an active role throughout the event, sharing progress on sustainable pest management across the Mediterranean. 🌱

🌿 The SAFWA project continues empowering Mediterranean farmers! This morning in Godall (Spain) a hands-on session on sustainable olive farming: machinery, kaolin & Bacillus thuringiensis for pest control, plus a live demo on smart spraying. #SAFWAProject @PrimaProgram

Aquesta jornada oferirà una visió sobre com la maquinària, el caolí i el biocontrol poden millorar l’eficiència de les explotacions i reduir l’impacte ambiental per fer front als reptes de l'olivicultura. 👉Més informació: transferencia.irta.cat/activitats/ein… #TransferènciaIRTA #PATT2025

Our partner Michele Fontefrancesco presented SAFWA’s latest results at the 3rd International Online Conference on Agriculture by MDPI 🌿 The paper explores farmers’ decisions and barriers to biopesticide adoption in the Mediterranean. 🔗 sciforum.net/event/IOCAG2025 #IOCAG2025

We contributed to the 12th ECCE & 7th ECAB Congress (Lisbon, Sept 2025), presenting advances on digital hybrid modeling and formulation of Bacillus thuringiensis biopesticides. Paving the way for sustainable pest management! @PrimaProgram #biopesticides
