List of trials for different crops, spanning several cropping systems and conditions

A list of the trials selected and defined in relation to the characteristics of the soil, the crop, the agronomic practices to be addressed (i.e. soil management in case of plant nutrition or protection against soil-borne pests/pathogens; canopy management in case of plant protection from pathogens/pests and abiotic factors) will be provided. In particular, the different following experimental factors will be specified: • Soil management (organic vs. Conventional/integrated) – including the following treatments: fertilization (organic/inorganic), tillage (reduced/intensive), cover crops/mulching (yes/no), pre-planting inoculation (yes/no), soil-borne pathogens management (yes/no); • Canopy management – including the following treatments : foliar/soil application of biofertilizers/biopesticides, frost protection (yes/no); • Microbial-based products – including the following treatments : formulations (consortia/vs single strain), complex formulations (microbial+plant biostimulants vs single product). The numbers of the treatments are 5-6 and may change in dependence of the results in WP2 and will also differ between the sites. In fact, due to the multitude of treatments (including their necessary controls) and the different characteristics/needs of the crops (trees/vegetables) as well as of their production system (open field or glasshouse), ompeti not be possible to test all bio-inocula at each trial. Therefore, different trials will select a set of bio-inocula depending on the targeted objective. However, special attention will be given on innovative formulations developed by WP2, soil treatments and their combination under different sites/conditions.
