The aim of the BIODERA project is to develop methods to control these phytoparasitic nematodes. It provides an innovative approach to crop protection by combining fertilisers with biological control solutions, resulting in a simpler crop management process: reduced environmental and ecological footprint, fewer units of phytosanitary products, less machinery use and reduced energy consumption.

In 2017, we published an article about the contest, what motivated us to lend our support to this fantastic initiative and the project that caught our attention at the end of the competition.
