Equipment for planting woody-seedlings in areas of precipitation deficiency TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION • The device applies a mixture of a hydrophilic polymer (hydrogel), water and optionally fertilizers and other substances at a specified dose to each seedling. • Hydrogels are strongly water-binding substances (up to 300 times their own weight), which can subsequently be used for growth and development. The water consumption of irrigated seedlings is reduced by half using hydrogel. Hydrogel also allows the growth of seedlings where it is due to lack of precipitation impossible (semi-desert, desert). Hydrogel is harmless, completely disintegrates after about five years (the time required for establishment of seedlings). • The device enables fast and efficient planting of eight thousand seedlings of forest trees, as well as agricultural crops such as coffee, banana and many others. • The device is ideal for use on large areas with low slope and well-paced terrain, such as plantations.

Automatic feature descriptor in agriculture images using neural networks Software that recognizes user-defined objects in aerial images for agriculture and derives quantitative estimators for plant count (N), green area index (GAI), growth stage (GS), deficient leaf area fraction (DLAF), and weeds area fraction (WAF), and potentially further measures. It employs a pre-trained multi-layer neural network model to classify regions of an image. The network is trained based on good examples of distinct types of objects that are provided by experts in aerial photography for agriculture. Afterwards, any provided aerial image or video can be analyzed with the pretrained software trained once.

Procedure for the extraction of biosurfactants contained in corn steep liquors Nowadays, most of the pharmaceutical and cosmetic products in the market contain chemically synthesized surfactants in its composition. In many cases, these surfactants are the same as those used in regular cleanup activities. In order to get more natural and biocompatible products, it would be interesting to include natural surfactants instead of chemical surfactants in the preparation of these pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. These biosurfactants are also present in the formulation of greener nanoparticles, replacing the chemical surfactants currently used in the preparation thereof. Most biosurfactants have antimicrobial activity, which would improve the properties of certain nanoparticles, as well as many pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. The main disadvantage of biosurfactants industrial production is related to the high cost compared to chemically synthesized surfactant production. The solution proposed by the Chemical Engineering research group at the University of Vigo, is the development of eco-friendly simple extraction of biosurfactant from a corn wet-milling industry byproduct, such as corn wash liquors, better known as "corn steep liquor (CSL)", which could compete in terms of cost production with its chemical counterparts.

High-precision environmental monitoring UAV-mobile system Novosibirsk State University has developed a UAV-mobile complex for high-precision environmental monitoring. Due to the use of a high-frequency magnetometer, highly sensitive gamma-ray spectrometer, gas analyzer, as well as special software for data processing, the costs of environmental monitoring are reduced significantly, often by more than 3-5 times. The University seeks partners for scientific cooperation and service agreements

Potyvirus viral detection kit CSIC and the Universitat Politècnica de València have developed a method for the detection and quantification of all species of the viral genus Potyvirus present in plant samples. The different species of the genus Potyvirus cause losses of up to 90% of production in crops of high economic interest, such as potato, maize or sugar cane. So far, the only way to identify that the crop was being attacked by a virus of the genus Potyvirus was to make specific detections for each species of the genus. With this new system it is possible to determine if in the samples coming from a culture there is presence of one of the 148 known species of the genus Potyvirus or of some unknown variant of these species. Companies in the agro-food sector interested in incorporating this kit for viral detection are being sought. An offer for Patent Licensing

Effective method for plant wound healing CSIC and the Center for Research in Agricultural Genomics have developed an effective method for plant tissue regeneration that involves the use of a bacterial cellulose-based biopolymer. The application of this material directly in plant wounds enhances the formation of new cells layers which boosts the healing processes. Industrial partners are being sought to exploit the existing know-how through a patent license agreement. An offer for Patent Licensing

Effective natural stimulants for plants The product is made of environmentally friendly raw materials – peat or fir foot without the addition of synthetic chemicals. Stimulants are non-toxic, do not have mutagenic properties, show immunostimulatory and adaptogenic properties. The use of stimulants can increase the yield of grain and vegetables by 20 - 60 %, accelerates the maturation, the onset of biological and technological maturity by 3-6 days, reduces fungal and bacterial morbidity of plants by 2-4 times, helps to reduce storage losses, accelerates seed germination and increases their germination and activity of the initial growth, accelerates the growth of the root system and increases its mass by 1.2-1.8 times.

Device for taking pictures of the treetops Researchers at the University of Alcalá present a novel device that allows non-destructive sampling of treetops from the ground to quantify the damage caused by biotic agents (pests) and abiotic (storms, hail, torrential rains) or to control production of fruits, without the need for artificial means of elevating the operator, reducing the risk to the observer and to the health of the tree itself. The research group seeks to achieve commercial or licensing agreements with companies in the forestry sector (wood, cork, ...), agriculture sector or agricultural insurers.
