My research activities focus on the experimental development of a new generation of plastic nets for crop protection, designed, engineered and manufactured to ensure optimal performance. The use of plastic nets to cover greenhouses plays a fundamental role in crop protection. Selective filtering of solar radiation can improve certain specific characteristics of crop growth (e.g. photosynthesis, etc.). In addition, our research team focuses on agroecology, greenhouse structures and technology, plastic materials, agricultural plastics recycling, biodegradable films, ecological engineering, rural landscape analysis, and sustainable planning of agro-based value chains.
