This project addresses two critical challenges: agricultural waste management and sustainable crop protection. By harnessing the bio-active compounds found within the residues (leaves, roots, and stems) of cruciferous plants, our research team is developing a natural, safe biopesticide designed to target harmful soil pests such as plant-parasitic nematodes and fungi.

The initiative actively drives the circular economy by turning field waste into powerful active ingredients, minimizing environmental pollution caused by crop residue decomposition, and creating local added value for the agricultural sector.
