¿Se puede recuperar el suelo tras el uso intensivo de fitosanitarios?
Topic
Recovery of soil after pesticide use
Key insights
- The project is taking place at the photoboltica plant in Humilla, Murcia, focusing on soil evolution.
- Innovative methods are being used to assess soil degradation and the reduction of chemical contaminants from herbicides.
- Soil samples are collected from under the photoboltica panels and from nearby uncultivated areas for comparison.
- Significant decreases in the presence of certain plants have been observed within just one year of the project.
- The project is fostering a community of insects, including butterflies and other species, indicating a positive ecological impact.
- The presence of diverse insect life suggests the potential for developing further ecological communities, including birds.
