This is a coordinated initiative, led by Agrotecnio, with two subprojects carried out at the Aula Dei Research Station, of the Spanish National Research Council, and the Autonomous University of Barcelona. Semillas Batlle from Lleida is also deeply involved. It aims...

A common European approach to the regulatory testing of nanomaterials (NANoREG)

por admin | Mar 15, 2021

The advances and developments achieved in nanotechnology during the last years are leading to an outstanding growth in the amount of commercial products based on engineered nanomaterials (NMs) that are currently arriving to the market. This fact is pushing EU...

Photonic-based tools for a sustainable agronomic management and use of pesticides in tree crops in the framework of precision farming

por admin | Mar 15, 2021

Global agricultural production, and in particular the European one, must face two major challenges: a) crop production improvement to meet the food demand of the growing world population, and b) face this demand through sustainable farming, ensuring that the planet...

Genetic variability in attributes determining the number of grains and possible compensations with the weight and nutritional quality of the grains in elite wheat material

por admin | Mar 15, 2021

Wheat is a critical component of food security. Yield must be increased at a much faster rate than it has been increasing in the last decades. In this project we analyse aspects crop physiology not analysed much so far (due to the difficulties involved). A primary...

BarPLUS: modifying canopy architecture and photosynthesis to maximize barley biomass and yield for different end-uses

por admin | Mar 15, 2021

Barley is a major crop worldwide, with Europe producing the greatest share (~60 MT/yr). Beside grains barley plants produce an almost equivalent amount of straw that in the past was considered as a secondary product of minimal value. Indeed most of the genetic...
