Agricultural Systems Group (Agsystems)

The Agsystems research group focuses its work on the study of agricultural and cultivation systems and their relationship with the environment. The final objective is the design of strategies or alternatives that allow maintaining the sustainability of cropping systems under current and future conditions. To this end, they carry out research projects based on field trials and the use of mathematical simulation models. The group participates in national and international projects and working groups focused on improving the efficiency of nitrogen use in agriculture. Spanish, with members of the group involved in the European Panel of Nitrogen Experts (EUNEP) and the International N management initiative (INMS). We actively participate in the development and evaluation of crop models within the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) platform.In the area of ​​cooperation, AgSystems collaborates in agricultural reactivation projects and in the reinforcement between universities via curriculum and mobility of students and teachers. Likewise, it actively participates in the Spanish Network for Research in Agriculture for Development.
