MisEauVert: research teams meet to discuss initial progress

It was a great pleasure to welcome the MisEauVert project teams to Champhol, Novabiom, on June 4, to share their initial progress.

As a reminder, MisEauVert - Ecosystem services from miscanthus to restore water quality and soil fertility - is a 5-year project funded by the ANR (ANR-23-CE03-0009). It brings together 4 INRAe teams (BioEcoAgro, Ecosys, Hycar, IJPB) and Novabiom.

 

This annual meeting, the second since the project was launched in January 2024, was an opportunity to share our respective progress:

  • Hycar instrumentation for experimental and control plots.
  • Novabiom's experimental miscanthus plot.
  • First results of nitrate modeling under crops in the AAC of St-Georges-sur-Eure, by Loïc Strullu.
  • A thesis on miscanthus genomic selection is well underway (Manuel Derrien, BioEcoAgro).
  • A future thesis for 2025, supervised by Ecosys and Hycar, on "Resilience of miscanthus soil to pesticide residues: consequences for the quality of groundwater recharge".

There was a lively exchange of views on methods and initial results, which promises to be an exciting follow-up to the project.
