Immunized Plants (English Edition) Survival of the Fittest: Learning from the Grapevine by Ruggero Osler

Available in stock

Cultivated plants are increasingly fragile in the face of diseases. This book explores how to enhance their natural resilience through induced immunity. Using the example of the vine, Ruggero Osler highlights an alternative to chemical treatments: promoting plants that have developed a natural resistance through Darwinian selection. An innovative approach essential for preserving biodiversity and improving the sustainability of crops.

Description

🌿 Towards a New Approach to Plant Protection

Cultivated plants, despite scientific advances, have paradoxically become more fragile and exposed to epidemics than before. Vines and other crops are bearing the brunt of the impact of modern agricultural methods, which, by promoting monoculture and intensive treatments, compromise biodiversity and weaken their natural resistance.

🦠 Natural Immunity and Darwinian Selection

Instead of directly fighting pathogens and their vectors, Ruggero Osler proposes an innovative approach: strengthening the host plant through a process of induced immunity. Just like animals, plants can "learn" from their experiences and develop natural defenses against diseases and stress.

This book demonstrates that some vines have acquired, over time, a stable and transmissible resistance through natural selection. By prioritizing these species, it becomes possible to limit the use of pesticides and improve the sustainability of crops.

🌍 An Ecological and Economic Challenge

In the face of costly diseases that threaten agricultural operations, it is crucial to adopt sustainable protection strategies. Inspired by Darwinian selection, this book presents a bold vision to rethink our way of cultivating and protecting our vines and other agricultural crops.

Written in English, this work is intended for researchers, winemakers, and plant biology enthusiasts who wish to discover an alternative approach for a more resilient agriculture.
