The first agronomic experiment has begun!

Sep 18, 2023

Our goal is to explore the potential of wastewater grown microalgae as biostimulants for plant cultivation, specifically, in basil crop!

We have first cultivated microalgae using urban wastewater. The initial cultivation stage has been a success, and now we are moving forward to the next phase, which involves the hydrolysis of these microalgae. This process will allow us to extract valuable compounds that can act as natural growth biostimulants for plants. The experiment took place in the greenhouse of  EEABB (Barcelona School of Agri-Food and Biosystems Engineering). The results will allow us to gain a better understanding of how these microalgae can contribute to sustainable agriculture and the production of healthy foods. Stay tuned for our updates as we will share the advancements, discoveries, and findings as we progress in this exciting project.
