From 2nd to 5th December there will be held the miCROPe 2019 symposium “Microbe-assisted crop production – opportunities, challenges and needs”.

The international symposium addresses basic and applied aspects of applying beneficial microorganisms in crop production.

Scientific sessions will address mechanistic understanding of holobiont interactions, functional understanding of microbiomes, plant understanding, microbial control of pests, pathogens and weeds, microbial application to improve nutrition and abiotic stress as well as disruptive approaches in microbiome applications.

The aim of the symposium is to promote innovation as well as implementation of new technologies and to enable discussions between academia and industry.

Mrs. Annamaria Bevivino, WP2 leader of SIMBA Project, will present the results obtained in the first year of SIMBA project. She will give a contribution in the session 6: MICROBIAL APPLICATIONS FOR IMPROVING NUTRITION AND ABIOTIC STRESS TOLERANCE entitled SIMBA: Design, formulation and optimization of plant growth-promoting microbes for their use as microbial consortia inoculants
