Primære forskningsområder

The primary aim of our research at PLEN is to develop a phosphorus fertilizer with an increased P use efficiency for a more sustainable future agriculture. This will reduce the pressure and geopolitical dependencies on the scarce resource rock phosphorus, and simultaneously reduce environmental impacts of P fertilization such as surface water eutrophication, wihile keeping the crop yields and quality high. Our approach is to use hydroxyapatite nanotechnology for that purpose. I am synthesizing nanoparticles, investigating their properties and behaviour in soils, and soon also in the continuum of soil, water, and plant.

Personally, my major interests lay in the field of soil biogeochemistry, nutrient cycling, rhizosphere interactions, and plant physiology.
