The workshop aims to provide to the students, technicians and growers the recent research projects outcomes related to the biocontrol agents (BCAs) and natural compounds (NCs) which could be useful for improving the crop performance and for reducing chemical inputs in the growing processes and chemical residuals in the agriculture products. The BCAs and NCs could improve resilience, efficiency and sustainability of the growing systems, both organic and conventional, and they could represent new tools for supporting a new vision of the environmentally friendly farming.
