SoildiverAgro Technology Recognized in Recent Scientific Publication

27 December, 2024

SoildiverAgro has been prominently featured in a recent scientific publication. The paper highlights the application of one of the core technologies developed within SoildiverAgro WP4 in the context of a related initiative, Greenresilient. An important tool optimized during the SoildiverAgro project to characterize soil nematode communities and assess soil health conditions was applied to data from Greenresilient, a related project. This application underscores the utility and significance of our technological advancements in the field of soil health and highlights the…

Solanum Sisymbriifolium’s Effectiveness in Combating Potato Cyst Nematode

27 November, 2024

SoildiverAgro has just published a new study titled “Development and Effectivity of Solanum sisymbriifolium Against Potato Cyst Nematode Under Field Conditions in Soils from the Southern Atlantic Area.”. The research, led by experts Antía Gómez-Armesto, Laura Meno, Servando Álvarez-Pousa, and David Fernández-Calviño, delves into innovative strategies for sustainable agriculture. Potato cyst nematodes (PCNs), a notorious pest affecting global potato yields, are commonly managed with chemical nematicides. However, this study explores a promising alternative: the use of Solanum sisymbriifolium as a biopesticide.…

Wheat sampling in the Continental region

2 July, 2021

In June 2021 at plant growth stage 39 (BBCH scale), colleagues of the project partners TI and FAR collected samples of soil, plants and litter in all treatments. Furthermore, sampling included soil microorganisms, nematodes, soil microarthropods and earthworms. These samples are part of case study 11, Plant diversity is tested to promote soil intrinsic self-regulating processes and to enhance fungivorous soil fauna communities in wheat-cropping systems.
