About
According to the Expected outcomes:
-
CICYTEX/FUNDECYT-PCTEX contributes to the enhanced reliability and accessibility of soil health data by and for laboratories, land managers, advisors and policymakers through robust sampling design, field validation and integrated soil–plant monitoring under real farming conditions ...
-
CICYTEX/FUNDECYT-PCTEX contributes to the improved understanding by land managers, other relevant practitioners and policymakers of the conditions, limitations and uncertainties of soil data and outputs and tools by linking soil measurements with plant-based indicators and agronomic responses under heterogeneous field conditions. Its experience in irrigated Mediterranean systems allows the evaluation of uncertainties associated with sampling strategies, soil indicators and monitoring tools.
-
CICYTEX/FUNDECYT-PCTEX also contributes to increased collaboration and interaction among stakeholders, including end-users, around soil health data issues through its strong collaboration networks with cooperatives, irrigation communities, private farms and advisors
