What is POSHMyCo?

POSHMyCo will establish for the first time a novel solution to reduce the risk of mycotoxin contamination in food products originated from barley and wheat grains by adopting smart farming technologies. This is expected to maximize the yield price, while minimize the risk to human health and livestock.
This project will increase farming profitability and reduce environmental footprint and human risk related to consuming unhealthy food products originated from barley and wheat grains.

Forecast and detection.

A system for the forecast and detection of the spatial distribution of FHB in the field, will be developed to predict the spatial distribution potential of mycotoxin contamination. 

Preventive site specific spraying (PSSS).

The PSSS of Fusarium fungicide will reduce the risk of crop infection with Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) during the growing season, hence, reduce the risk of mycotoxin contamination of harvested grains consequently. 

Selective harvest.

Selective harvest will allow the grain harvested to be sorted into three categories of healthy, slightly/moderately contaminated and contaminated classes.
