BEXYL

REACT

 BeXyl stands for 'Beyond Xylella' and means integrating different scientific approaches to propose and test practical solutions to manage Xylella fastidiosa outbreaks in the EU. Funded by the EU's Horizon programme with around €7 million and running from 2022 to 2026, the project will support basic and applied research into the drivers of Xylella fastidiosa establishment in Europe, resistant plant varieties, new detection and monitoring systems, plant microbiome treatments, and the economic and social impact of outbreaks.
More than 40 research institutions, government agencies, nurseries and farmers' associations, NGOs and "operational groups" of the EU-funded European Innovation Partnership are involved in the project. The aim is to create a community of scientists, citizens, economic operators and policy makers to shorten the distance between research and on-farm applications to manage Xylella fastidiosa outbreaks and prevent new introductions in the EU.
