Piattaforma di biotecnologie verdi e di tecniche gestionali per un sistema agricolo ad elevata sostenibilita' ambientale

The project

focuses activities

on the crop production system

by analyzing

:



-

The possible improvements

in the use

of inputs,

with particular reference to

water management

and fertilization

;



-

The possibility of improving

efficiency

through

the genetic variability

of crop

water use

and fertilizer

, as well as

resistance to

adversity

, allowing a reduction

of pesticides

;



-

Testing of

innovative technologies

for the valorisation

of residues

and effluents

of the agricultural system

,

including

livestock production

, aimed at

energy production

and conservation

, and

increasing the availability

of nutrients

for the plants

they contain.
