Soil Chemistry, Fertility and Quality
Study of the chemical and biochemical properties of soils and of the processes regulating nutrient availability, soil organic matter dynamics, and overall soil quality.
Effects of Agronomic Practices on Soil Health and Functionality
Assessment of the effects of tillage, crop rotations, intercropping systems, and fertilization strategies on the biological, chemical, and physical processes that determine soil functionality and the sustainability of agroecosystems.
Characterization and Evaluation of Fertilizers, Biostimulants and Soil Amendments
Chemical and agronomic characterization of innovative fertilizers, biostimulants, and soil amendments, with particular emphasis on nutrient use efficiency and soil quality improvement.
Nutrient Recycling and Agronomic Valorization of Agro-Industrial By-Products and Biosolids
Investigation of the recovery and use of organic residues, agro-industrial by-products, and biosolids as sources of nutrients and organic matter within circular economy frameworks.
Environmental Effects of Fertilization and Sustainable Nutrient Management
Assessment of the environmental fate of nutrients and contaminants associated with fertilization practices, aimed at developing sustainable nutrient management strategies for crop production and soil resource conservation.
