The programme aims to cover topics related to innovation and research on biosolutions and the sessions will be defined more precisely on the basis of your contributions that can include :

  • Mechanisms of action of biostimulants and biocontrol products 
  • Factors influencing the effectiveness of biosolutions 
  • Study and evaluation methodologies, including modeling 
  • Broader perspectives and real-world applications of plant biostimulation 
  • Research and advances on natural compounds used in biocontrol product development 
  • Plant responses to elicitors and biostimulants 
  • Effects of combining biostimulants and biocontrol products 
  • Study of the effects and behavior of microbial consortia 
  • Environmental impact of biosolutions 
  • Other advances in research and innovation on biosolutions 

The programme for Tuesday and Wednesday co-contructed with BESTIM will include a roundtable (Plant immunity : research directions to bring products to the field).
