VIRTIGATION project

VIRTIGATION is a Horizon 2020 multi-actor project that aims at developing rapid and lasting solutions to emerging viral diseases caused by begomoviruses (whitefly-transmitted) and tobamoviruses (mechanically transmitted) on cucurbits and tomato in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean Basin, as well as at increasing knowledge to better control and manage the viral diseases. VIRTIGATION is coordinated by KU Leuven (Belgium), and gathers an international consortium of 25 partners from Europe, Israel, Morocco and India. The project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 101000570.
