SUMMARY:SPIN-FERT at the Agricultural Chemistry Winter School (ACWS) 2026
DESCRIPTION:Bologna\, Italy \n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nRi.Nova and Crea at the Agricultural Chemistry Winter School with the SPIN-FERT project \n\n\n\nRi.Nova and Crea\, partners in the European project SPIN-FERT\, participated in the Agricultural Chemistry Winter School (ACWS)\, a training and scientific event for PhD students and early-career researchers working inagricultural chemistry\, biostimulants\, soil–plant interactions\, and soil health management. \n\n\n\nThe school was an important opportunity for scientific updating and interdisciplinary exchange\, thanks to lectures and contributions from internationally renowned scientists\, which promoted the transfer of knowledge and the sharing of innovative methodological approaches. \n\n\n\nDuring the event\, RINOVA and CREA presented two posters showcasing ongoing experimental and research activities in the Horizon Europe SPIN-FERT project. \n\n\n\n🌱 Ri.Nova pictured: Sara Turci and Elettra Frassineti) presented the results of pot trials aimed at evaluating a new peat-free substrate\, supplied by project partner Enomondo\, in combination with different biostimulants applied in aqueous formulations via root and foliar treatments. The experiments\, conducted on lettuce\, zucchini\, and tomato\, assessed the performance of the new substrate and analysed the physiological and productive responses of the crops following biostimulant application. \n\n\n\n🌾 Crea (poster presented by Maria Cristina Sorrentino) outlined the workflow of upcoming research activities focused on the characterisation of soil organic matter fractions in experimental fields managed by RINOVA\, where soil management practices aimed at increasing organic matter content\, such as green manure and compost application\, are being implemented. The study seeks to evaluate the effects of these practices on organic matter dynamics\, a key indicator of soil health. \n\n\n\nParticipation in initiatives such as the ACWS underscores the value of networking and scientific research aimed at developing more resilient and sustainable agricultural systems. \n\n\n\nA special thanks to the University of Bologna team for organizing the event. \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

SUMMARY:She-nziate – CNR-ISB Open day
DESCRIPTION:SPIN_FERT by the STEM Week and the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (CNR_ISB) \n\n\n\nOn February 11\, at the Territorial Research Area of the National Research Council – Rome1 (CNR-ARRM1)\, Carmelo Cannarella (CNR-ISB) held a workshop entitled: “Phytoacoustics – Plants in Music: How to Transform Nature into Sound\,” an outreach initiative connected to a research activity exploring the relationships between plants and sound. \n\n\n\nThis workshop was part of the Open Day “She-nziate” which falls within both STEM Week and the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. The Open Day featured approximately 15 activities\, including workshops\, seminars\, and demonstration sessions. \n\n\n\nInvestigating the biophysical and bioelectrical processes of the plant world and translating them into sound phenomena makes it possible to communicate science through a sensory\, interdisciplinary language that brings together biology\, physics\, technology\, art\, and listening practices. Sound thus becomes a tool for scientific inquiry\, as well as for mediation and data representation\, making often hidden phenomena audible. \n\n\n\nApproximately 100 lower secondary school students attended the event\, with about 50 participating in phytoacoustics activities\, divided into three groups. \n\n\n\nDuring the workshop\, the SPIN-FERT project’s activities were also presented\, highlighting in particular that soil is a complex living system and a fundamental prerequisite for the well-being of plants and trees. Soil itself was therefore the subject of a sonification demonstration\, contributing to a dialogue between scientific knowledge and society\, encouraging new ways of listening to the natural world and new forms of relationship between human beings and the environment. \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		\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n Created by ASN
