Background
The problem: generic fertilization formulas do not match the real profile of each soil and crop, which keeps agriculture dependent on synthetic fertilizers and degrades soil health.
The solution: FertiSOLO is part of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), under Startup Vouchers - New Green and Digital Products, and developed an innovative dynamic biofertilization service supported by research, technological development and digital solutions. The digital component integrates agronomic, laboratory and edaphoclimatic data into a decision-support service, contributing to precision agriculture, circular economy and climate transition.
Objectives
- Develop and validate dynamic biofertilization solutions adapted to the edaphoclimatic conditions of the Autonomous Region of Madeira.
- Integrate agronomic, laboratory and edaphoclimatic data into a digital decision-support service.
- Promote the valorization of agro-industrial waste and the use of beneficial microorganisms.
- Contribute to reducing dependence on synthetic fertilizers and improving soil health.
Main components
Research and Development
Soil characterization, selection of plant growth-promoting microorganisms and development of biofertilization solutions.
Digital Solution
Development of the dynamic biofertilization methodology and the Digital Fertilization Plan.
Circular Economy
Valorization of agro-industrial waste for the production of bio-based inputs.
Results achieved
- Physical-chemical and microbiological characterization of agricultural soils.
- Isolation and selection of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPB).
- Development and evaluation of biofertilization solutions.
- Biotechnological valorization of agro-industrial waste.
- Development of the dynamic biofertilization methodology.
- Development of the Digital Fertilization Plan.
- Structuring of the Agronomic Database.
- Integration of agronomic, laboratory and edaphoclimatic information for decision support.
Digital Fertilization Plan
Digital tool that integrates soil, climate and crop data, enabling more efficient, sustainable fertilization recommendations adapted to each farm.
Agronomic Database
Organization and systematization of laboratory, edaphoclimatic and agronomic data, supporting decision-making and continuous improvement of the service.
Continuity and evolution
FertiSOLO establishes the scientific, technological and digital foundation for the future availability of a dynamic biofertilization service, with potential application across different crops and regions, contributing to a more resilient and competitive agriculture.
Funding
