Project: Portable biosensor-based device for mapping the risk of grape infection by Botrytis cinerea in the vineyard

Acronym	WINBIOTOOL (Reference Number: MNET19/NMCS-3706)
Project Topic	The biggest challenge faced by the wine industry is the grape infection by Botrytis cinerea, affecting 15-20% of the harvest worldwide. WINBIOTOOL aims to provide a much needed tool for wine producers to answer this challenge, in the form of an integrated detection platform, combined with mapping and decision software. This tool allows the in-field, early detection of fungal attack by Botrytis cinerea and screening laccase activity in grapes and throughout wine production, recommending the best decision for minimising the impact of the fungal attack. The instrument includes electrochemical biosensors, GPS sensors and web application and combines KETs (Key Emerging Technologies) and ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) to map the fungus spread in the vineyard. Starting at TRL2, the project will advance to TRL4, delivering an instrument tested at winery level as main outcome of high added-value. Carried out by 4 SMEs/Industrial partners and 2 Public Research Centers, WINBIOTOOL will provide a product that will facilitate obtaining high quality/yields of wine production and will contribute to the European companies’ competitiveness in the global wine industry.
