Project description

Objective of this project is to introduce a new sustainable organic cultivation model (soil-plant-micro-organisms) in greenhouse horticulture. Important milestones are the composition and characterization of an organic growing media, the development of an organic fertilizer, the selection of an appropriate inoculum, the introduction of the stable inoculum on the substrate, to proof the effect of homeastasis and to test the new cultivation concept in a plant study.
