Replacing chemical fertilizers with microorganisms and bacteria capable of promoting plant growth even under water stress, improving soil functions and agricultural production are the outcomes of the Ortumannu project, conducted by ENEA, University of Cagliari, CRS4 and Mutah University (Jordan) which, thanks to the integrated use of natural resources, biotechnologies and cutting-edge characterisation, monitoring and modeling tools, aims to mitigate soil depletion and promote high-quality agricultural production, reducing the use of fertilizers, pesticides and water.
