MICROCLIMATT Operational Group

The MICROCLIMATT Operational Group aims to test the effectiveness of microalgae biostimulants through demonstrative trials (phenotypic, physiological, and transcriptomic) in combating the effects of climate change on wheat and tomatoes.

Objectives

  • Evaluate the improvement of drought stress resistance and nutrient use efficiency in tomatoes and wheat treated with microalgae biostimulants.
  • Quantify the incorporation of carbon into the plant biomass of crops linked to increased productivity.
  • Evaluate the increase of organic carbon incorporation in the “soil sink”.
  • Verify the improvement of soil fertility due to the treatment of crops with microalgae derivatives.
  • Improve the quality, functionality, and sustainability of the soil.
