Project name in Czech

Mykologický přístup ve vývoji nového substrátu pro pěstování zdravějších zemědělských plodin

Annotation in Czech

Projekt je zaměřen vývoj nového typu substrátu založeného na bázi kompostu s přídavkem prospěšných půdních hub (arbuskulární mykorhizní houby a kompatibilní kmen houby r. Trichoderma) se silným biopesticidním účinkem proti půdním patogenům a umožňující lepší využití živin rostlinou vedoucí k produkci zdravějších zemědělských plodin.

Project results evaluation

New type of substrate based on compost from grapevine pruning waste enriched with beneficial soil fungi 1 - trichoderma harzianum and 2 arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Alternative to commonly used peat-based substrated together with a combined AM-Th product aimed for a direct inoculation of plants or inert substrates as a new bio-products for better growth, health and nutrition of plants.
