Universit\u00e0 Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (UCSC)<\/strong> was founded in 1921, and is nowadays the biggest Catholic university in Europe. esteemed for our academic excellence, integrated in the European tradition as a place of cultural formation, able to contemplate and interpret the complexity of the society in which we live: a mission that translates into an educational syllabus focused on the formation of the person as a whole. Piacenza and Cremona campuses are committed to Agro-food sector. Piacenza hosts since 1952 the Faculty of Agricultural, Food and Environmental sciences, where the Plant Pathology groups operates. Our areas of expertise covers Botanical epidemiology and disease modelling , development, biological validation and use evaluation of DSSs , Development of innovative organic and IPM strategies, Development of application strategies for non-chemical PPP (i.e. botanicals and BCA), Sustainability assessment , Innovative techniques, methods and tools for precision agriculture.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

UCSC is leader of WP2; The main goal is to establish a complete pipeline for pest and disease monitoring, from data collection to pest prediction and detection. The specific objectives are to: Establish protocols and procedures that ensure the accuracy, consistency, objectivity and efficiency of data collection in any location and by any person Utilise collected data to create AI algorithms for pest and disease detection. This task will be responsible for identifying the state-of-the-art in pest modelling towards the characterization of the epidemiological traits of the regulated plant pests STELLA will focus on.<\/p>

Characterization of these parameters will allow to better rank each pest for their capacity in different aspects (survival between growing seasons, reaching the host and causing infection, producing viable inoculum to trigger epidemic, spread into the environment, producing strains or subpopulations resistant to plant protection products, etc). The generated knowledge will improve the understanding of the epidemic behaviour of each target pest and quantify the risk for each single aspect. The characterization altogether will improve the specification of efficient disease control methods and strategies, with particular regard to monitoring and early detection of the disease onset. The STELLA selected pests (quarantine and RNQP) will be studied as examples among bacteria, fungus, insects and phytoplasma. The obtained data will be used [UCSC and HORTA] to define simple bioclimatic indices about the main relevant characteristic of each studied pest, into assessing the risk of a specific disease.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
