This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
The aim of the project is to conduct research on expanding knowledge, obtaining and documenting information in order to develop an innovative product for preventive protection of plants in agriculture.
The project will result in a complete documentation on the components of the product, recommendations for the new product, the mechanism of its functioning. The project will establish and develop cooperation between Agro Fonds Consulting and the R+D sector by including a research unit and by purchasing a pro-innovative service leading to the development of an innovative biostimulator.
The need for the development of the solution resulted from meetings with contractors and conducted field tests
A similar biostimulator is offered in the international market, but the most frequently it is imported from India. Also in Europe there are 2-3 entities offering a similar product. Nevertheless, the offered bio-stimulator is not available exactly in this form.
Partners (manufacturers of biostimulators, adjuvants, fertilizers, distributors) may show interest in the good practice in order to improve, extend, modify or use it.
