InnovPlantProtect (InPP) took part in the 12th National Meeting on Integrated Protection (ENPI), promoted by the Escola Superior Agrária de Elvas (ESAE) of the Instituto Politécnico de Portalegre (IPP), which took place on October 30 and 31, 2023.
The director of the New Biopesticides department, Cristina Azevedo, was one of the guest speakers at session 4 entitled “Towards new bio-based solutions to control plant diseases”.
With the motto “Integrated Protection's Contribution to the SDGs”, the meeting aimed to bring together experts from research, teaching and production, as well as young students interested in the protection of plants and plant products, to analyze, share knowledge, propose and debate innovative ideas and techniques for protecting crops and agricultural products.
The ENPI addressed four main thematic areas such as “Crop protection in the context of climate change and globalization”, “Recovering the concepts of “Risk estimation” and “Decision making” in the context of emerging problems”, “Plant defence mechanisms” and “Alternative means of protection”.
The 13th edition of ENPI will take place in 2026 in Madeira and will be organized by the University of Madeira.
