Aeromycological Insights: Unveiling the World of Cereal Crop Pathogens

In the new scientific paper supported by SoildiverAgro, researchers from the Department of Plant Biology and Soil Sciences at the University of Vigo, Spain, and the Department of Microbiology and Virology at the University of Habana, Cuba, dive deep into the world of aeromycological studies in cereal crops. These studies are crucial in understanding the temporal variation of plant pathogens affecting crops like corn, wheat, rice or oats. Moreover, they help determine the best times to apply fungicides, a critical…

Wheat sampling in the Continental region

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.
