EmergeNOW

EmergeNOW logo

EmergeNOW is a 36-month innovation action project that addresses challenges in detecting phytosanitary risks on imported citrus fruits by deploying a systemic solution that uses cutting-edge digital and molecular tools for rapid, on-site detection of Citrus Black Spot (CBS), Huanglongbing (HLB), and their insect vectors at EU import points, enabling early warning and control. The solution aims to revolutionize import control procedures at ports and airports by improving precision and efficiency for plant health inspections.
