On the 15th and 18th of July, the soil functionality was discussed with farmers based on the information gathered by SoildiverAgro Nemoral field experiments. The importance of biota and soil moisture as drivers for proper yield formation was shown to every attendee throughout the open field day. Thank you all for coming!
Last 24th of June, Soildiveragro won the prize for Oral Communication (IX Congreso Ibérico de Ciencias del Suelo) with the article titled Study of microbial communities in Lusitanian organic and conventional agricultural soils by phospholipid fatty acid analysis presented by our colleague Diego Soto. Here you can see the presentation and the article. Let’s give a round of applause! Check our Scientific Articles section if you want to see more detailed information about it …
