A partir de los ejemplares recolectados en campo, se han aislado 120 cepas pertenecientes a 14 especies fúngicas. Se ha diseñado una mezcla de grano de trigo, centeno y sorgo, a partes iguales, con un contenido de agua ajustado al 50-60% y esterilizada en autoclave, que se ha probado con éxito para la producción de inóculo con 87 cepas diferentes de 11 especies fúngicas. Los ensayos a pequeña escala se han llevado a cabo empleando un sustrato a base de serrín de frondosas ajustado a un 60-65% de humedad. Para todas las especies una temperatura de incubación de 20-25 ºC resultaba adecuada. El desarrollo del proyecto ha permitido poner a punto los métodos y protocolos para el cultivo de ocho especies fúngicas a partir de cepas autóctonas. En función de los resultados obtenidos, los protocolos de cultivo se pueden considerar puestos a punto para: Agrocybe aegerita, Fistulina hepatica, Lypphyllum decastes, Meripilus giganteus, Pleurotus eryngii y Polyporus squamosus. También para especies más conocidas, como: Ganoderma lucidum y Grifola frondosa, pero con cepas autóctonas.

Agricultural run-off and subsurface drainage tiles transport a significant amount of nitrogen and phosphorus leached after fertilization. alchemia-nova GmbH in collaboration with University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna developed two multi-layer vertical filter systems to address the agricultural run-off issue, which has been installed on the slope of an agricultural field in Mistelbach, Austria. While another multi-layer addressing subsurface drainage water is implemented in Gleisdorf, Austria. The goal is to develop a drainage filter system to retain water and nutrients. Both multi-layer filter systems contain biochar and other substrates with adsorption properties of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus). The filter system can be of practical use if an excess of nutrients being washed out is of concern in the fields of the practitioner by keeping the surrounding waters clean. This approach may result in economic value by re-using the saturated biochar as fertilizer and improving the soil structure, thus increasing long-term soil fertility.

FACTSHEET NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY Key information Functionalized nanocellulose membranes can take up nitrate and phosphate. These membranes can be put in a water treatment unit. As the membranes are biobased, degradable materials, they can after use be added to the soil, thus returning the leached nutrients back for their original purpose providing fertilizers (nutrient recycling).
Because variables such as temperature and humidity have a profound effect on the activity of crop pests, diseases and natural enemies, the ability to monitor environmental conditions within a crop has always been important for crop protection.
