During a visit to our partner Stanley Agricultural Group Co., Ltd in China, from 13 to 16 January 2026, Prof. Lidia Sas-Paszt from InHort presented the research approaches, technological innovations and results developed within the ECONUTRI project in the field of horticultural crop cultivation and fertilisation.
Her presentation addressed an international audience of scientists, fertiliser companies, farmers and other stakeholders, offering an opportunity to showcase ECONUTRI’s work beyond Europe and strengthen international exchange.
A key focus was the development of six microbial consortia designed to improve the growth and yield of horticultural plants and support the composting of agricultural waste. These consortia include microorganisms from the genera Bacillus, Priestia, Klebsiella, Streptomyces and Pseudomonas. The presentation highlighted the biostimulatory effects of these microbial consortia on plant growth and productivity, as well as their potential to reduce mineral losses to soil, water and air.
Prof. Sas-Paszt also presented the use of microbial fertilisers and their implementation in agricultural practice in cooperation with fertiliser companies.
The visit also contributed to strengthening cooperation between our partners InHort in Skierniewice, Poland, the ECONUTRI project, and our scientific partners in China.
