We use beneficial bacteria and metabolites with different formulations to improve crop resilience and lower inputs into agronomy. Our skills deal with plant reprogramming under stress and by bacteria/metabolites in the plant and its impact in soil rhizosphere communities (structure and function).
Our latest approach is formulation of bacterial metabolites in nanoparticles which become more effective than non formulated. Studying the potential impact on the plant-soil system is a challenge. Also, use of medicinal plants has shown enhancement on bioactive molecules concentration, using same tools
An outstanding expertise is our ability to develop these experiments in field conditions, in real orchards or extensive crops, ensuring that our results are relevant and farmers become involved.

We would like to join a proposal in which the South west of Spain soils (agronomic soils and burned soils) can contribute as a specific area in Europe to be considered. Our expertise applies though to any proposal in which we can fit. Technological skills are good as shown in publications. We represent an area of knowledge that is complementary to soil, microbiological and ecological studies, providing a practical interpretation with social impact, that is specifically transfering to society
