Mycorrhizal inoculants for crop resilience. Designing microbial consortia that enhance nutrient uptake, drought tolerance, and disease suppression.
RESEARCH PROGRAMS
What if the solution to drought is in the soil?
Six active programs. Four research pillars. One obsession: the organisms most science still ignores.
AGAPP-E ACTIVE
AgAPP-e
Agriculture's digital analyser of production, for phosphorus efficiency. AI-powered platform automating nutrient management.
BIOFERTILA ACTIVE
BIOFERTILA
Biodegradable agricultural film from wool and agro-forestry waste. Replaces plastic mulch, degrades into biofertilizer.
BIONIR ACTIVE
BioNIR
Real-time soil and plant health monitoring via Vis-NIR spectroscopy. Calibrating sensors for field deployment.
FERTINUREX ACTIVE
Fertinurex
Urease-inhibiting soil formulations from fungal extracts.
· Trichodex (Spain) DRYBOUND ACTIVE
DryBound
Synthetic microbial consortia from drought-adapted plants to increase crop drought resistance.
EUREKA ACTIVE
Eureka
Automating phosphorus balance calculations and digitalizing phosphorus flows across agricultural systems.
AgAPP-e
Analisador Digital da Produção Agrícola, para a eficiência do uso do Fósforo
Consórcio
GLOBAZ, S.A.; Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa; Soilvitae, Lda
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.
