GEVES heavily involved in CIMA 2025
From 2 to 4 December, Végéphyl held its International Conference on Plant Diseases (CIMA) at the Angers Convention Centre.
This event brought together experts in plant pathology to discuss scientific advances and health issues affecting the plant sector.
GEVES pathologists contributed their scientific expertise, demonstrating their commitment to seed health quality, the evaluation of the effects of biocontrol treatments and varietal innovation.
