The main goal is to design solutions (strategies and tools) that combine novel crop genotypes and agroecosystem management innovations to improve water and nutrient use efficiency in a range of agricultural contexts across pedoclimatic regions of Europe and farming systems.
Location
Europe, Turkey
Description
Partner teams will test crop genotype mixtures, legume-based crop rotations and cover crops, microbial inoculants, as well as improved decision support systems and hybrids or products from genomic selection and participatory evolutionary breeding schemes.
SolACE will focus its activities on three major European crops - potato, bread and durum wheat.
Partnership
25 European partners from 14 countries including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweeden, UK
Team
Evolutionary genomics and population management (GE²pop)
Fundings
