What you will learn
How biostimulants open up new opportunities in agriculture.
Why they play a key role in the Green Deal.
How they work and how they help to fully exploit the potential of a healthy agro-ecosystem.
Whether you are a farmer, consultant or simply interested in future-oriented agricultural technologies, this webinar will give you the insight you need to better understand and use biostimulants.
About the speaker
Dr. Silvia Fluch, Head of Research & Development at Hechenbichler GmbH, will lead the session. As a molecular biologist by training, her expertise in applied research spans from plant and population genetics to microalgae research and from field trials to product development for a more sustainable agricultural system.
The CEDRIC project: Advancing soil health
Inspired by the successes seen in human microbiome transplants, the CEDRIC project seeks to enhance soil quality through the introduction of robust plant root microbiomes. The objectives are clear: improve soil structure, increase microbial diversity, boost nutrient density, and raise total carbon content in soils that have been impoverished through various forms of degradation.
Project details and expected impact
The CEDRIC project will conduct detailed soil sampling in Oberhofen, collecting data essential for the transplantation of beneficial microbiomes. This cutting-edge approach is anticipated to transform poor and depleted soils, making them more fertile and resilient. Enhanced soil health will not only benefit agricultural productivity but also contribute to environmental sustainability by improving carbon sequestration and reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.
