The final resolution proposal for the MIREN-4R project (\u201cMitigation of reactive nitrogen through the 4R approach in Mediterranean crops\u201d) has recently been published. an initiative of the 2024-2027 State Plan for Scientific, Technical, and Innovation Research, aimed at reducing nitrogen losses in Mediterranean agricultural systems and moving toward more sustainable fertilizer management.<\/p>\n\n

The project, led by Sonia Garc\u00eda Marco<\/a><\/strong> and Guillermo Guardia<\/a><\/strong>, is part of the 2024 Knowledge Generation Projects call for proposals by the State Research Agency, and will be developed by the Group on Contamination of Agrosystems by Agricultural Practices (COAPA)<\/a><\/strong>, attached to the Department of Food Chemistry and Technology of the ETSIAAB-UPM and CEIGRAM.<\/p>\n\n

Mitigation of reactive nitrogen: a key environmental challenge<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Reactive nitrogen<\/strong> derived from the use of agricultural fertilizers is one of the main factors contributing to soil, water, and atmospheric pollution. MIREN-4R<\/strong> will address this problem by applying the 4R approach <\/strong>(\u201cRight source, Right rate, Right time, Right place<\/strong>\u201d), which promotes the use of the right fertilizer, in the right dose, at the right time and place, to optimize nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and minimize its environmental impact. <\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Objectives and methodology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

The project will be carried out over four years<\/strong> y a trav\u00e9s de ensayos de campo e invernadero y mediante tecnolog\u00edas avanzadas (c\u00e1maras autom\u00e1ticas para an\u00e1lisis de emisiones con alta frecuencia, an\u00e1lisis isot\u00f3pico con 15<\/sup>N, gas chromatography, study of microbial communities). The research team will analyze the main pathways of nitrogen loss<\/strong> (NH3,N2, N2O, NOx, N leaching) in representative horticultural crops and evaluate options for reducing N2O emissions <\/strong>and other pathways of reactive N loss) and increase N use efficiency<\/strong> in irrigated and rainfed Mediterranean crops through the use of organic fertilization, improved efficiency synthetic fertilizers, variable fertilization based on yield maps, and the interaction between crop residues (some of which have natural inhibition capacity) and fertilization.<\/p>\n\n

Funding<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

The MIREN-4R <\/strong>project (ref. PID2024-157885OB-I00<\/strong>) is co-funded by the Spanish State Research Agency<\/strong> (AEI), part of the Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities<\/strong>, and the European Union<\/strong> through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
