Biological and Chemical Management of and Ochratoxin A in Vineyards.

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a widely distributed mycotoxin and potent carcinogen produced by several fungal genera, but mainly by . Grape contamination occurs in vineyards during the period between veraison and pre-harvest, and it is the main cause of OTA's presence in wine. The aim of the current study was the evaluation of 6 chemical and 11 biological plant protection products (PPPs) and biocontrol agents in commercial vineyards of the two important Greek white wine varieties cv.

Evaluation of Biological Plant Protection Products for Their Ability to Induce Olive Innate Immune Mechanisms and Control , the Causal Agent of Olive Anthracnose.

Olive anthracnose is the most important fungal disease of the olive fruit worldwide, with the fungus as the main cause of the disease in Greece. A total of 11 commercial biological plant protection products (bioPPPs) (Amylo-X, Botector, FytoSave, LBG 01F34, Mevalone, Polyversum, Remedier, Serenade ASO, Sonata, Trianum-P, Vacciplant), with various modes of action against the fungus , were evaluated by bioassays using detached fruits of two important olive Greek varieties, . Koroneiki and .
