INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON GROWING MEDIA, COMPOSTING AND SUBSTRATE ANALYSIS

The III INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON GROWING MEDIA, COMPOSTING AND SUBSTRATE ANALYSIS took place in Milan (Italy) June 24 – 28, 2019 and Europomice was one of the main Sponsors of this important event. The 2019 International Symposium was an ideal occasion for discussing and exchanging experiences on growing media and all connected topics: not only a scientific program, but also cultural and touristic events.

This was the second time that a meeting on substrates has been hold in Italy (the first being in 1992 in Florence) and since then the growing media industry had consistently expanded in Italy. According to the last European survey, the Italian market for growing media ranked only second to Germany and has reached its highest-ever value in Europe.
