IPMorama Webinar: Legumes & Diseases -20 June 2025


Join us for a full-day webinar organised by the IPMorama project, dedicated to three key legumes: soybean, pea, and lupin.
Experts from leading research institutions across Europe will present the latest insights on major pathogens and integrated pest management (IPM) strategies.
This event is open to researchers, plant breeders, farmers, advisors, and stakeholders interested in sustainable legume production.
