🌱 From soil to seeds… listening to life breathe
Measure air to check if a seed is alive? Yes! 🌬️
SeedResp detects CO₂ via a gel turning pink→yellow. Real-time vitality check before sprouting! 🌿
SpinFert uses this to boost crop success. 🚜

🧪 Colour as a Scientific Instrument
Track pH, track life. 🌱
In SpinFert at CNR-ISB, seeds respire CO₂ → gel turns acidic → pink dye fades to yellow.
The more the colour fades, the more seeds germinate!

ASN leads SPIN-FERT’s WP1, using art to share soil science.
In Breath of Soil:Memory Nexus, participants smell soil, share memories → 3D-printed RNA Molecules (biodegradable). They return to soil as “living memory”.

Getting the soil ready for the next phase of SPIN-FERT! 👍. Experimental plots are now defined and ready to test integrated approaches combining biostimulants with green manure or compost, alongside reduced fertilisation. #SPINFERT #StrategyTrials #SoilHealth #RINOVA #SustainableAgriculture
The final harvest of lettuce and zucchini marks an important milestone for Ri.Nova’s efficacy trials.
Every result brings us closer to more sustainable vegetable crops cultivation.
#SPINFERT #HarvestTime #EfficacyTrials #Biostimulants #RINOVA
Ri.Nova has moved to efficacy field trials on lettuce and zucchini. Selected biostimulants are now being evaluated in real growing conditions, combined with a 50% reduction in mineral fertilisation. #RINOVA #FieldToLab #SPINFERT #Biostimulants
🔬Ri.NOVA and CREA took part in the Agricultural Chemistry Winter School (ACWS), aimed at PhD students and early-career researchers in the fields of agricultural chemistry, biostimulants, soil–plant interactions, and soil health management #ri.nova #crea #SoilHealth #SPINFERT #SustainableAgriculture
These microbial "artworks" by the Intermag Team in petri dishes are a glimpse into the creative side of our scientific daily life. With best wishes for 2026! 🌟
