Use of bioproducts to strengthen climate resilience
Start Date:
01/10/2023
End Date:
01/11/2027
Description
Applied research project to improve maize production (+5%) and its resilience to climate change through the integration of native beneficial fungi (entomopathogenic fungi, antagonists of plant pathogens and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi). It aims to develop bioinputs that reduce agrochemical use (50%), increase drought tolerance and promote soil carbon sequestration, and includes a standardized carbon measurement methodology, an economic analysis and strategies for farmer adoption.
