Project description
 

In the context of using more environmentally friendly pesticides, lipopeptides are promising molecules. Lipopeptides are a family of natural molecules that can (partially) replace classical fungicidal pesticides. They are thus biopesticides.
 
Role of Ghent University
 The powers of the Crop Protection Department - Laboratory of Phytopharmacy of Ghent University used during this project are mainly the formulation of the crop protection products applied to the molecules studied in this project.
