ASCENZA AGRO PROJECTS
Project designation | PROTCROP4HEALTH – New green co-formulants for the development of plant protection products promoting sustainable agriculture and improving human health
Project code | LISBOA-01-0247-FEDER-024016
Main aim | OT1 – Reinforce research, technological development and innovation
Intervention region | NUTS II Lisbon
Beneficiary entity | Ascenza Agro, S.A.
Approval date | 12-09-2017
Start date | 01-11-2017
End date | 31-10-2019
Total eligible cost | 1.141.104,04 EUR
European Union financial support | FEDER – 456.441,62 EUR
Scope | The project aims to create a new generation of plant protection products in line with the green chemistry concept, in association with the reduction of the impact on human health and on the environment and promoting sustainable agriculture. In addition to the scientific findings that the R&D project will provide, it is expected to develop new experimental formulations of herbicides and fungicides that will incorporate the new green co-formulants.

Project designation | HYBRID XXI – Development of new plant protection products formulations with micro-organisms or natural origin product (algae) in association with chemical active substances
Project code | LISBOA-01-0247-FEDER-011130
Main aim | OT1 – Reinforce research, technological development and innovation
Intervention region | NUTS II Lisbon
Beneficiary entity | Sapec – Agro, S.A.
Approval date | 13-05-2016
Start date | 01-09-2015
End date | 31-10-2017
Total eligible cost | 1.164.631,92 EUR
European Union financial support | FEDER – 465.852,77 EUR
Scope | Development of plant protection products formulations involving a chemical molecule (particularly acting on pathogens) to a natural origin product (micro-organisms such as bacteria or fungi, extracts of plant origin including algae) that are likely to contribute to ensure an high effectiveness in terms of results associated with the reduction of residue levels in chemical plant protection substances, leading to a consequent reduction of health risks to both the final consumer and the applicator itself.
