Soil Quality: The Role of Organic Fertilisers, from Theory to Field
March 6 @ 10:30 am – 4:30 pm
Cesena, Italy
On Friday, March 6, the workshop “Soil Quality: The Role of Organic-Based Fertilizers, from Theory to Field” took place in Cesena, Italy, as part of the European SPIN-FERT project. The event was organized by Ri.Nova, sponsored by Herambiente.
The technical meeting, which was well-attended both in person and online, highlighted strong interest in biostimulants and their applications, while also highlighting several aspects that require further discussion and investigation.
Soil quality is a fundamental lever for the future of agriculture, ecosystem protection, and land resilience, but in recent decades it has been progressively compromised by intensive management practices and the effects of climate change. Soil organic matter plays a central role in countering these processes and improving soil fertility and resilience.
In particular, through scientific contributions and the presentation of long-term case studies and applications across different crop types, the conference offered a forum for discussion and technical-scientific updates for technicians, agricultural sector operators, researchers, and public decision-makers.
Eligio Malusò from CREA and In Hort, together with Maria Grazia Tommasini from Ri.Nova, presented the possibility of considering all components of soil fertility within a soil quality index, according to the SPIN-FERT approach.
