The INTOMED project aims to develop innovative tools based on the use of beneficial microorganisms to protect the three most important crops in the Mediterranean: citrus fruits, tomatoes and olives. The project involves researchers from Spain, Portugal, France, Greece, Morocco and Tunisia. Víctor Flors, lecturer and researcher at the Department of Agricultural Sciences and the Natural Environment at the Universitat Jaume I, is also participating in the project.

INTOMED has been one of the projects selected by the PRIMA Foundation (Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area) and has the financial support of the Provincial Council of Castellón, which in 2020 and 2021 has signed collaboration agreements with the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) for a total investment of 200,000 euros. The Rector of the Universitat Jaume I, Eva Alcón, and the President of the Provincial Council, José Martí, have visited today the Biological Containment Laboratory of the UJI where the research will be carried out in order to know its potential for the development of a more intelligent and sustainable agriculture.

The development of the INTOMED project has involved the creation of a high-security laboratory for research into quarantine diseases in the province of Castellón. In this laboratory, and as part of the proposed studies, tests will be carried out to protect tomato plants against *Clavibacter*, an emerging bacterium in Spain capable of causing enormous damage to tomato crops. This laboratory, located in the School of Technology and Experimental Sciences and destined to the scientific activity of the Department of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Environment, has been co-financed by the UJI (with an investment of its own funds of more than 100,000 euros) and the Provincial Council (with a contribution of 43,000 euros).
