Second sampling campaign for Demetra DSS

Second sampling campaign for environmental monitoring of the DEMETRA DSS project at the Sempreverde company started today!

At the beginning of the new agricultural season, the CNR-IRSA team together with the Agris one returned on field to start the second sampling campaign for DEMETRA DSS (Task 3.3).

The sampling involved Sempreverde company with 9 sites distributed between two areas of Giovinazzo and Molfetta.

Sampling is a fundamental activity for environmental monitoring of DEMETRA DSS project, which includes:

chemical analysis of water (N, COD, salinity, pH, P, S, Total Hardness, Bicarbonates, Cl, K, Na, Ca, Mg, Fe);
biomolecular analysis, according to the protocols for microbial species;
chemical analysis (N, S, T, pH, C org., subst. org.)
biomolecular analysis of the soil, for the comparison between the two matrices and the elaboration of a chemical / microbial exchange model.
