FA Action COST 830
Microbial inoculents in agriculture and the environment
Descriptions are provided by the Actions directly via e-COST.
The main objective of the action is to develop new microbial inoculants and promote
their use in agriculture and environment.
This action will associate specialists of different micro-organisms and technologies, from
public and private organizations, in order to develop new microbial inoculants and
promote their use in agriculture and environment. Four objectives will be achieved:
1) to promote and coordinate research required to develop the use of microbial
inoculants in agriculture and environment, in connection with the CAP;
2) to provide know-how for increasing the competitiveness of European research
and European inoculant companies at a crucial moment for the development of
new management systems in agriculture, using biofertilizers and "biopesticides";
3) to define efficacy criteria able to be checked in a quality control process, in order
to raise the quality of European products and make them more competitive on
the world market;
4) to provide new bases for guidelines to stimulate the use of microbial inoculants
in place (or with) agrochemicals.
