The EU project REACT, running from November 2022 to October 2026 with a budget of €6.65 million, aims to protect fruit and vegetable production from invasive insect pests, particularly Bactrocera dorsalis and B. zonata. Coordinated by Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen, Germany, this project brings together 17 partners from various countries, employing innovative, environmentally friendly strategies. It focuses on developing rapid, species-specific, cost-efficient sterile insect release programs, combining pest invasion risk assessments with socio-economic impact analyses.
