Development of a new localized irrigation system capable of sustainably inhibiting the activities of insects and rodents that interfere with the controlled application of water and nutrients.
The PROTECTDRIP project aims to promote even more sustainable agriculture, as it was created with a focus on the natural environment.
The main objective of AZUD through this project is to develop a new micro-irrigation technology that incorporates natural defense mechanisms to repel external pests such as insects and rodents, with the aim of maximizing the efficient use of water for irrigation.
PROTECTDRIP provides a highly sustainable and environmentally friendly solution to a new challenge, ensuring the optimal use of water and the efficient application of nutrients in agriculture.
Along with AZUD, the following are participating in the PROTECTDRIP project:
The PROTECTDRIP project (RTC-2017-5894-2) is funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities – State Research Agency and co-funded by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), as part of the 2017 RETOS-COLABORACIÓN call for proposals, which supports collaborative projects between companies and research organizations aimed at promoting technological development, innovation, and high-quality research.
