GARLIC - CASDAR project, labeled GIS PICLeg - 2022-2025

To guarantee the sanitary state of garlic seeds during the multiplication process in order to obtain certified plants free of Fusarium

  • Funding: Ministry of Agriculture (France)
  • The GARLIC project proposes to 1) evaluate the susceptibility of certified varieties to garlic rot, 2) develop tools for the early detection of the agents responsible for this disease in garlic seed lots, 3) develop alternative methods to chemical plant protection products for eliminating Fusarium from cloves, and 4) propose technical itineraries to limit infection of garlic during propagation. The project will contribute to the production of certified garlic seeds and plants without the use of chemical plant protection products against this emerging disease that is highly damaging to the sector.
