Soil chemistry, plant nutrition, Fertigation, GHG
The general topic is soil chemistry and plant nutrition, the specific subjects are:
• Fertigation methods in soil and soilless culture to optimize yields and quality and minimize pollution.
• Irrigation with secondary effluent, its effect on nutrient uptake and on nutrient and salt leaching bellow the root zone.
• Simulation of nutrient chemistry and transport in soil, its uptake by root and its effects on plant growth.
• Application of sludge and organic waste materials to agricultural fields, using models to predict the decomposition of the organic material and the mineralization and transformation of nitrogen in soil.
Greenhouse Gases emissions from agriculture activities. |
