PLANT-SOIL RELATIONSHIPS


The scientific activity of the research group is to generate new basic and applied knowledge, innovative and transferable, focused on the promotion of sustainable development of agrosystems through the use of low-cost agricultural technologies in pursuit of the ultimate objective of soils, waters and crops-protection. This overall objective is approached from a triple perspective: (i) the development of biotechnological processes that favour the recycling and recovery of organic and inorganic wastes, (ii) the development of low-cost technologies for the prevention and protection of soil and groundwater against punctual and diffuse pollution induced by organic pollutants iii) the development of methods for the sustainable management of agrosystems and their implication on the provision of multiple ecosystem services.
