Biostimulants, soil improvers, bioprotectants: promoters of bio- intensification in plant production [02.02.22]
The protection of our soils with their manifold functions (e.g. as habitat, ecosystem, filter and buffer for the transformation of substances, and as a basis for agricultural production) is an important task that is increasingly being focused on by national and European authorities as well as funding agencies. Ecosystem functions are closely related to landuse in general and agricultural production in particular and special attention must be given to resilient soils in times of climate change, socioeconomic and cultural transformation. 254 participants from 24 countries presented their perspectives and research on "Biostimulants, soil improvers, bioprotectants as promoters of bio-intensification in crop production" during the 10th International Symposium on Crop Protection and Plant Health, and discussed results and trends with representatives from regulatory agencies, universities, government research institutions, non-governmental organizations, industry, extension services, and other practitioners. The results of the presentations, discussions and perspectives are reflected in a recent article.
