General information

Short Summary
This project aims to develop new-generation biostimulants using advanced controlled release systems. The project aims to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers by at least 20%, reduce carbon emissions and increase crop productivity.
Full Description
The project aims to improve biostimulants' stability, efficiency and application in agricultural systems by integrating advanced technologies. The primary objectives are to reduce chemical fertilizer dependency, lower carbon emissions and contribute to sustainable agricultural practices by increasing crop productivity.

Key Focus Areas:
The development and evaluation of innovative biostimulants derived from renewable resources.
The application of advanced systems to enhance the controlled and efficient delivery of biostimulants.
Environmental and agricultural benefits are assessed, including improved crop performance and reduced environmental impact.

The project aligns with EU sustainability goals, including the Green Deal and Farm to Fork strategies, and aims to address modern agricultural challenges with innovative and environmentally friendly solutions.
Advantages and Innovations
The project introduces innovative controlled release systems (CRS) to optimize the distribution and efficacy of biostimulants in agriculture. CRS technology increases the stability, targeted application and sustained release of active ingredients, ensuring efficient use of resources and minimizing environmental impact. This approach contributes to the principles of the circular economy through the use of renewable resources and reduced dependency on chemical fertilizers, allowing carbon emissions to be reduced. By integrating advanced CRS technology, the project offers a forward-looking alternative to traditional agricultural practices, addressing urgent environmental and productivity challenges.
