Research activity

The ESR3 project investigates the interaction of contrasting wheat genotypes and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) under the impact of different cropping conditions such as fertilizer and crop protection treatments. The goal of the project is to identify key aspects in the ability of AMF to colonize and to transfer nutrients efficiently to different crop genotypes grown in the field. The results will assist to integrate and improve the application of AMF as biostimulants in wheat production with the overall aim to reduce phosphate fertilizer inputs in agriculture.

Research interests

Sustainable Agriculture, Plant-microbe interactions, Phytopathology, Biological Control Agents, Biostimulants, Endophytes.
