Jakie było wyzwanie/problem?

A local working group on plant health (advisory agents) identified the need to improve the sustainable handling of plant protection products during filling and cleaning of the sprayers. An operational group was formed to elaborate solutions for fruit and wine producers aiming to prevent point-source pollution of water. Both single-farm and collective sprayer washing facilities are considered in the project work. Technical guidelines and scenarios of implementation are elaborated. Dodatkowo, the research partners perform experimental work and all information is used to inform local decision makers and practitioners.
