Description

The Agronomy laboratory addresses the issue of future agriculture based on three themes: the first is to understand and modeling biological regulations in agro-ecosystems by studying complex cultivated stands and their interactions with non-cultivated communities. The second is to analyze and predict genotype-environment-conduct interaction to design and evaluate genotypes for a variety of cropping systems. Finally, the last topic deals with the analysis of design method and evaluation of cropping systems. The aim of this research is to produce tools to design sustainable cultures both locally and globally.
