IXP CASTAÑA DE GALICIA participates in the GREENCASTANEA pilot project

On the other hand, in order to improve the profitability of the "souto" through its multifunctionality, before being potted, the chestnut trees will be mycorrhized with an inoculum of Boletus edulis produced by means of a novel bioreactor system. In addition, a thermohydrotherapy system will be incorporated to disinfect the plant material used in the graft, guaranteeing the absence of the chestnut wasp, a pest with a high incidence today and other possible phytosanitary problems.

Finally, in a demonstrative experimental plantation, the characteristics and performance of the chestnut trees obtained will be evaluated. In this way, GREENCASTANEA is committed to micofruticulture and the diversification of the agroforestry sector, an approach that will allow managing an efficient, flexible and quality production of chestnuts and mushrooms, two products of great economic value. In short, taking care of the indigenous and keeping the rural environment alive.

The project, which will end in July 2023, is led by Hifas da Terra and in it, in addition to IXP CASTAÑA DE GALICIA, the University of Vigo (through the Agrobiotech For Health Group), the Indicación Xeográfica Protexida (IXP) Castaña participate de Galicia and the company Soutos Sativa SL GREENCASTANEA is funded by the call for grants to support pilot projects, development of new products, practices, processes and technologies in the agroforestry field, 75% co-financed by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD), within the framework of the Rural Development Program (PDR) of Galicia 2014-2020.

Rural Environment Department. Forest Health.

The Galician Damage Monitoring Network, integrated into the State and European Network, offers a detailed analysis of the health status of the forest stands of 257 plots distributed throughout the territory that have a notable representation of species to determine detection, evolution, disease and pest status, in a localized and periodic way over time, with technical criteria that allow testing and controlling the samples sampled.

Plant health contingency plans also address possible pests that affect, on a timely basis, certain species or areas in order to mitigate their consequences.

Among these plans, due to their importance, the treatments carried out by the Ministry to combat two serious conditions of chestnut trees in Galicia stand out: the sight of Drycosmus kuriphilus and cancer disease (Cryphonectria parasitica).

As regards the chestnut wasp, in 2015 an experimental biological control program was started by releasing, in thousands of points throughout Galicia, Torymus sinensis, a natural and specific enemy of the chestnut wasp that lays its eggs inside the bougainvillea.

In relation to cancer, in 2003 the Xunta de Galicia, in collaboration with the Diputación de Pontevedra through the Apatiro Photopathological Station, carried out biological fight research based on the search for less virulent fungi (hypovirulent strains) that could be reduced the virulence of the attacking (hypervirulent) strains. Next, a biological control program was developed through the preparation in laboratories of the hypovirulent inocula of the strains detected in Galicia and their subsequent application in the field. Inoculations began in 2011, and the results obtained were very satisfactory. The total number of chestnut trees treated in all Galicia already exceeds 100,000 copies ".

In addition, at the Areeiro Phytopathological Station they develop methods of fighting pests and diseases of forest species and stands with advanced technologies and qualified personnel, in order to be able to study new termination procedures and efficient treatments, thanks to an agreement signed with the Ministry of Rural Environment. Among others, a biological control program for chestnut cancer (Chyphonectria parasitica) is carried out through the application of hypovirulent strains detected in Galicia and it is in the process of preparing a control program adapted to Galician conditions and carrying out tests in the field and in the laboratory to corroborate its effectiveness against these pests.

In the specialized informative field, the Arobriculture Days are organized, in which environmental factors are analyzed, research related to forest health is exposed and we proceed to identify and diagnose xylophagous fungi that affect the various tree species, among others. "
