Bodega Inurrieta is part of the consortium of the BIOVID research project on new biological strategies to control grey rot, a disease caused by thee Botrytis cinerea fungus, in Navarre Vineyards.
During the 2020 and 2021 growing seasons, #BIOVID is to study different types of yeast to fight grey rot in the vineyards of the consortium partner wineries, which cover the different agricultural and climatic areas in Navarre, seasons. The idea is to use a sustainable and more respectful alternative to the application of chemically synthesised plant protection products that are currently used.
The project is funded by the Navarre Government, under a 2019 programme of strategic projects.
