It's an occasion to highlight how FruitFlyNet-ii facilitates the sharing of green technologies between research institutes and Small and Medium Enterprises in the Mediterranean to fight two specific pests, by commercializing 2 prototypes, one for the olive fly and the other for the Mediterranean fly, offering a set of electronic services for a better monitoring and an efficient control of ground spraying.
