Enhancing the genetic diversity and variability of crops and livestock for the agroecological transition
We aim to investigate how plant-associated beneficial bacteria enhance drought tolerance and soil resilience under agroecological management. Our project focuses on identifying drought-responsive bacterial communities, evaluating their effects on plant physiology, and integrating microbial solutions into sustainable farming practices.
Our institution is a specialized research unit focusing on drought stress, agricultural adaptation strategies, pistachio cultivation, fertilization, and disease and pest management. Through applied agricultural research, demonstration gardens, and producer training, it directly contributes to regional agricultural policies.
