organization

The association emerged from the symposium Microorganisms as intermediaries between fertilization and plant protection (Micro ‐ organisms as agents between fertilization and plant protection) with 62 participants from 12 countries who represented both industry and science. The conference was organized by the German Phytomedical Society , the Julius Kühn Institute and the Faculty of Agriculture and Horticulture at the Humboldt University in Berlin and took place in Braunschweig in 2014 .

The association tries to capture the knowledge that arises in connection with the European research framework programs for natural and resource-saving plant food production and to make it available to both food producers and political decision-makers. There is a special relationship with the European research network Biofector .
