SUMMARY:SPIN-FERT at the FAO Global Conference on Sustainable Plant Production and Smart Farming
DESCRIPTION:SPIN-FERT  presented the latest developments of the SPIN-FERT Horizon Europe project at the FAO Global Conference on Sustainable Plant Production and Smart Farming. \n\n\n\nPresentation by Dr Loredana Canfora from CREA focused on a key challenge for the successful adoption of microbial biofertilisers and biostimulants: how can we verify that beneficial microorganisms actually establish and persist in soil under real field conditions?  \n\n\n\nWithin SPIN-FERT\, CREA id developing aptamer-based detection tools for rapid\, selective monitoring of soil microorganisms\, with a first proof-of-concept for Bacillus subtilis\, one of the most widely used beneficial bacteria in agriculture. These innovative biosensing technologies could support farmers\, researchers and companies in optimising bioinoculant application\, improving traceability and enhancing the effectiveness of sustainable agricultural practices. \n\n\n\nThe conference was an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas with experts from around the world and discuss how smart farming technologies can contribute to more resilient\, productive and sustainable agricultural systems. \n\n\n\n🔬 From monitoring microbial persistence to enabling smarter agronomic decisions\, SPIN-FERT is working to bridge the gap between laboratory innovation and field application. \n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n Created by ASN
