Biography
Giovanni Rallo is Associate Professor at the Department of Agriculture, Food and Environment (DAFE) of the University of Pisa. In 2010 he obtained theaPhD in Environmental Hydronomy, with a thesis on “Measurement and Modeling of Water Exchanges in Soil Plant Atmosphere Continuum and Water Stress Functions: Application to Olive Groves”. In his higher-educational background, he completed the II level Master's course in “Irrigation in Mediterranean Environment” and a High Scientific Training Seminar on “trends in plant eco-physiology and ecosystem ecology research”. For 15 years he has studied mathematical stress functions and the empirical formulation of woody perennial and vegetable crops under abiotic stresses, such as drought and salinity. However, his research activities have been carried out in order to define and transfer new strategies for optimizing water resource management in the Mediterranean environment.

AGRITECH, Università degli Studi di Pisa con il brevetto “Sistema esperto per la determinazione dell’evapotraspirazione reale di una superficie vegetata”. Il sistema consente di ridurre il consumo di acqua, garantendo un uso efficiente delle risorse idriche in zone colpite da siccità. Contribuisce alla salute dell'ambiente e alla resilienza delle coltivazioni.
