This week, the project coordinator, Microgaia, has been presenting actions and objectives of LIFE Sarmiento in Future IPM Congress in Riva del Garda (Italy). This congress, which already counts with its third edition, met around 1000 participants that have exchanged knowledge and experiences to improve plan protection against pest and pathogens. The compost produced in the framework of LIFE Sarmiento has biopesticide properties, so its use will contribute to reduce pesticide use-and-risk in integrated pest management (IPM).
