They will participate in the meeting Representatives of the Campania Region and all partners belonging to the project Operational Group under the coordination of the Scientific Technical Manager, Dr. Domenico Cerrato of CREA in Casertain particular: Semiorto Sementi Srl companyAgricultural business Paolo Mancusowith the role of leader, CREA Cereals and Industrial Crops with the Caserta laboratory, ISAFOM of Portici representing the CNR of Naples, the Departments of Physics and Biology of the University of Naples “Federico II”, the CERERIS agricultural company of Procacci Francesco, the IRFo.M. training body. and the Projenia SCS Consulting Body.
The project Canaseme is characterized by its multidisciplinarity: Interaction of agronomic factors on seed production; Collection optimization; Improved seed technology; Innovative techniques with low environmental impact to improve germination; Healthcare; Conservation over time.
The final objective of the innovative research intervention is the acquisition of: Data on productivity and adaptability of the varieties being tested in two areas of Campania; Elements on the action of biotic and abiotic agents on the plant cycle and seed production; knowledge on the influence of agrotechnics on the qualitative aspects of the seed with X-ray microtomographic study; Information on seed collection and post-harvest management; Innovative technical elements to improve the health and technological requirements of the seed to obtain germination close to 100%. To ensure maximum dissemination of the project activities, the website www.canaseme.it was created as well as the related social profiles.
