Phytopathologies of sustainable agricultural systems
Our objective is to prevent or reduce the economic and environmental damage caused by diseases caused by soil-borne pathogens through innovative and environmentally friendly integrated management strategies that ensure the efficient use of the resources of Mediterranean agricultural systems and the yield, quality and healthiness of their productions. Our research has a multidisciplinary approach that includes the study of plant-organism interactions, biogeography, diagnostics, taxonomy, genetic diversity and population structure of pathogenic and beneficial organisms. All this through classical and molecular methodologies in the fields of plant morphogenesis and structure, qualitative and quantitative plant histology, quantitative epidemiology, climate change modeling and impact, microbial ecology, metagenomics and biological control.
