What: Technology Transfer Workshop "Trichoderma and ways to cope with abiotic and biotic stress in semi-arid silvopastoral systems (SALAM-MED Project)"

When: 11th July 2023 - 12.00 - 2.00 p.m. Rome time

Where: Online, at the following LINK

Contents: The beneficial effects of the filamentous fungus Trichoderma in the biological control of plant pathogens is well known since decades. A wide array of commercial formulations based on effective strains of Trichoderma spp. is now available to farmers and the applications of this micro-organism have been boosted worldwide by both legislative and economic reasons. A large number of studies has proven that Trichoderma spp. display a range of mechanisms encompass the mycoparasitic ability: many effective strains have the ability to improve plant growth and the resistance of plants to multiple stress, including abiotic ones. The Workshop aims at presenting the state-of-the-art on the selection, application, formulation and mechanisms of action of Trichoderma spp. as a plant protectant, with emphasis on the improvement of plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stress in semi-arid silvopastoral systems.

What: Technology Transfer Workshop "Sustainable management of Agroforestry systems: opportunities and perspectives for PEFC certification"

When: 13th July 2023 - 3.00 - 5.00 p.m. Rome time

Where: Online, at the following LINK

Contents: Forest certification is a voluntary, market-based instrument, implemented through two separate but linked processes: Sustainable Management certification and Chain of Custody certification (Traceability). PEFC has realized a specific certification scheme for Agroforestry and its products. The application field of the Agroforestry PEFC standard is the tree component of an agroforestry system and the elements connected to it. In this workshop we will consider the potential of this instrument, and the procedures and process for the certification of agroforestry systems in their own country.

More events of this type will be organized by different LIVINGAGRO partners very soon, stay tuned to be sure not to miss any of these interesting initiatives !!!
