Yesterday, BIOVEGEN and AGRICOLA 2000 held the session “CAMPO DEMO: between experimentation and dissemination” that featured the participation of more than 100 experts related to plant nutrition and health. During the meeting, the current situation of the regulation of fertilizer products was presented, the potential of CAMPO DEMO for testing innovative products, and the experience of various companies in this program.
CAMPO DEMO is a trial program (organized by AGRICOLA 2000, the University of Milan, and AgroNotizie) that allows companies in the plant nutrition sector to evaluate their products (both commercial and prototypes) under the EPPO guidelines of the European Union, through a model defined in collaboration with the Agricultural Faculty of the University of Milan and supervised by its researchers.
