JoinHortLab provides research in the field of Plant Physiology and Nutrition
JoinHortLab aims in promoting innovations, enabling individual producers as well as cooperatives/groups of producers to have a more profitable crop.
In this context, JoinHortLab carries out
- Analyzes of mineral nutrition at plant tissues.
- Consulting in crops mineral nutrition
- Diagnostics of fruit postharvest physiological disorders
- Diagnostics of fruit nutritional problems and correlation of mineral nutrition of fruit and vegetables with the quality and nutritional value of their fruits.
- Study of biostimulants composition and application in horticultural species with the aim of dealing with abiotic stresses and improving their quality.
- Evaluation of varieties of horticultural species.
- Evaluation and application of chemical or organic products that improve the productivity and quality of the Horticultural plants.
- Evaluation and application of new nutritional cultivation techniques that control fruit postharvest storage and quality.
- Implementation of research projects related to the study of:
- the mechanisms of growth, production and abiotic stress responses of horticultural species of agronomic interest,
- fruit biology and plant physiology and nutrition
- practices for improving plant productivity and quality and fruit postharvest storability
- nutritional diagnostics of horticultural species.

Genetic identification of plants
- Molecular-genetic identification of populations and varieties of plant organisms with new generation genetic analyzers.
- Control of varietal identity of propagating material (seeds, seedlings, fruits, etc.)
- Identification of adulteration - adulteration by other plant species in products with increased added value using the DNA barcoding technique.
- Molecular characterization of local traditional varieties with molecular markers.
Conducting experiments
-
Application and evaluation of formulations that improve the productivity and quality of Horticultural plants.
-
Determination of absorption of inorganic elements after foliar spraying
