RESEARCH PROGRAMS

What if the cure for drought was already underground?

Six active programs. Four research pillars. One obsession: the organisms most science still ignores.

Objetivos

Para melhorar a produção e a proteção ambiental, a gestão dos fertilizantes deve ser local ou específica de cada sítio, podendo a eficiência agrícola ser quadruplicada se os fluxos e as reservas forem bem observados. Contudo, os agricultores não dispõem de ferramentas de diagnósticos orientadas para tratamentos específicos. O projeto AgAPP-e visa automatizar as recomendações de fertilizantes, melhorando a precisão e aumentando a eficiência do fósforo.
