Resource Preservation by Application of BIOefFECTORs in European Crop Production (BIOFECTOR)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

BIOFECTOR is an integrated project that develops alternative fertilisation strategies by the use of various bio-effectors (BEs, plant growth promoting microorganisms and natural extraction products). BEs stimulate root growth, solubilise and mineralise sparingly available nutrients, or protect plants from abiotic and biotic stresses. Novel BEs will be isolated, characterized and applied in strateg ...
