Any farmer can follow INSPIA BMPs and check his/her own farm's sustainability level, by introducing needed data through the platform. Although, please note that the results communicated in the frame of INSPIA are just the ones coming from the controlled and monitored European farms officially belonging to this project.

BMP 1.- Use permanent soil cover (green cover or residue cover)

BMP 2.- Use of minimum soil disturbance practices

BMP 3.- Use of groundcovers (in permanent crops)

BMP 4.- Perform suitable crop rotation/diversification

BMP 5.- Perform farming operations following the contour lines

BMP 6.- Fertilize according to soil deficiencies and crop needs

BMP 7.- Plant Protection Product (PPP, i.e. pesticide) use according to Integrate Pest Management Strategy (IPM)

BMP 8.- Use of modern technologies for applications (Precision Agriculture)

BMP 9.- Optimise irrigation timing and rate (considering soil water content, water holding capacity in the soil, and crop requirements in relation to evapotranspiration)

BMP 10.- Optimised use of pesticides (correct dose, appropriate product)

BMP 11.- Implementation of field margins and buffer strips with diversity of plant species

BMP 12.- Establish and maintain riparian buffers

BMP 13.- Build retention structures across slopes to reduce the length of plots (fascines, vegetative buffers)

BMP 14.- Point source prevention of PPP (pesticide) pollution on the farm (establish areas to fill and clean sprayers and manage containers)

BMP 15.- Perform optimised waste management (packaging, crop residues, effluents, emptied pesticide containers, etc.)
