The conference will be organized by Fondazione Edmund Mach, the European project “Pesticide Use-and-risk Reduction in European farming systems with Integrated Pest Management” – PURE, Centro di sperimentazione agraria e forestale di Laimburg and the European network ENDURE, in collaboration with the Autonomous province of Trento (Provincia Autonoma di Trento), the Ministry of agriculture (Ministero delle politiche agricole alimentary e forestali), the International Organisation for Biological Control of noxious animals and plants (IOBC-WPRS), International Biocontrol Manifacturers’ Association (IBMA) and Giornate Fitopatologiche.
