The challenges in modern agriculture such as crop diseases, extreme
weather, and contamination have spurred interest in Smart Sustainable
Agricultural Production (SSAP), which is the use of advanced
technologies, innovative management practices, and sustainable methods
for efficient and environmentally friendly food production. Our
interdisciplinary work aims to develop a novel, multifunctional spray
for integrated crop management aligned with SSAP principles to address
plant diseases, weed management, and heat injury prevention. The spray
will be based on natural, biodegradable formulations incorporating
photodynamic inactivation (PDI) chemistries, a light-based technique for
cell inactivation through oxidative processes.
