Visit for surveying the flora of
Puglia
In the framework of the research for
local, low water demand, plants that
can been used in landscaping Mr.

area and cooperated with Dr. Angelo
Parente, Dr. Francesco Montessano of
ISPA/CNR (P3) and Dr. Rita Accogli

Expert scientist from USA
strengthens ISPA/CNR's IRMA
team
Scientific collaboration within the IRMA
project can count now an agreement
between CNR ISPA (P4) and the
University of Georgia (USA). Under
the aegis of an international
cooperative agreement between the
two institutions, in fact, the ISPA
research team involved in the IRMA
project has started collaboration with
Prof. Marc van Iersel of the
Department of Horticulture of this
prestigious American University. Prof.
van Iersel has been actively involved
for many years in the study of irrigation
management of greenhouse crops
through the use of sensors to measure
the water status of growing media, a
topic that ISPA is developing within the
framework of IRMA. Researchers of
ISPA and Prof. van Iersel are actively
working
together
on
activities
regarding
knowledge
exchange,
design and implementation of the
experimental tests, sharing of scientific
results, and in the organization of
events and activities for the
dissemination of results (conferences,
workshops,
seminars,
scientific
papers).

P4 research activity this period
concerned evaluation of soil moisture
sensors for soilless tomato irrigation in
greenhouse with the objectives of:
1) to compare a traditional
irrigation management based
on timer with an innovative one
