PhD in Agricultural, Food and Environmental Science - XXXVI Cycle
Tutor: Ivana Puglisi
  • 2020-2023: PhD Course in Agricultural, Food and Environmental Science, University of Catania. Research project: “Multipurpose agricultural reuse of biomasses and their extracts from different sources”. The aim of the project is to investigate the biostimulant effect of biomasses and their extracts from different sources on plants, in order to assess their potential effect on soil biochemical fertility and plant metabolism. Moreover, the application of valuable biomasses for the development of eco-sustainable strategies in agriculture will be evaluated.
