Objective This ToK programme aims to exchange highly skilled experienced-researchers (ERs) and non-scientific staff (n.S.S.) between the Academy, which gained the Nematology know-how and the specific Trichoderma isolates against nematodes, and the Industry that already developed a bio-control preparation of Trichoderma against soilborne diseases and therefore gained much experience with technical issues of formulations, production, quality control, rapid diagnostics of fungal phytopathogens and marketing of such a product.The multi-disciplinary aspect expressed in this strategic partnership between an Industry organization and an Academy institution, will lead to an integrated commercial bio-control agent (s) against soil-borne diseases caused by fungi and nematodes. Overall, this ToK Programme aims to provide advanced training to ERs and n.S.S. as well as exchange unique skills between the academic and industrial sectors, in the areas of biological control of soil-borne diseases and phytonematodes and construction of a commercial biocontrol agent.Specifically, the objectives of this ToK Programme are:I. To assimilate and incorporate know-how, technologies and infrastructure related to the nematology discipline by the Industry.II. To assimilate and incorporate know-how, technologies and infrastructure of aspects related to the construction and commercialisation of a bio-agent by the Academy.III. To develop the best conditions for growth and application of the most efficacious Trichoderma isolate against plant parasitic nematodes.IV. To integrate the selected product against nematode with the commercial product against soilborne diseases.V. To make necessary preparations towards commercialisation of the integrated product.
