The project “Developing relationships in the design, prototyping and application of plant biostimulants as a response to the abiotic stresses in crop plants” aims to strengthen and develop strategic partnerships established during joint participation in the summer school “Design and use of biostimulants and bioprotectants in crop production as an element of sustainable agriculture” and the winter school “Biostimulants in Regenerative Agriculture” and the study visit and seminar “Adapting crop systems to climate change”. The aim is also to integrate the scientific community for the effective use of synergies resulting from cooperation between scientists, especially by combining research efforts for interdisciplinary research in line with the strategy from farm to fork. The project also aims to build the Beneficiary’s potential in the international arena through innovative research on the design, validation and testing of the produced biostimulants in soybean cultivation, the results of which will be published in journals indexed in databases such as SCOPUS and/or JCR and papers presented at the organized international conference “Challenges for agricultural science and engineering in the aspect of climate change”. The project objective will be implemented in 10 tasks, implemented by the Beneficiary and Partners.

Universities participating in the project:

• University of Life Sciences in Lublin (Poland) – Beneficiary.
• University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice (Czech Republic) – Partner.
• University of Buenos Aires (Argentina) – Partner.
• Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra (Slovakia) – Partner.

Tasks implemented by the Beneficiary:

Task 1. Development and strengthening of relations between partners and searching for new areas of cooperation. Responsible entity.

Task 5. Organization of an international scientific conference “Challenges for agricultural science and engineering in the aspect of climate change”. Responsible entity.

Task 7. Analysis and assessment of the physical properties of produced biostimulants and development of technology for their application. Responsible entity.

Task 8. Testing of new generation biostimulants in controlled conditions (optimal and stressful) in the plant phenotyping laboratory and assessment of biometric features and molecular changes in plants after the use of biostimulants.

Part of task 10. Study of the effect of using biostimulants on the chemical and biochemical composition of soybean plants.

Tasks implemented by the Czech Partner:

Task 4. Summer school “Design and use of biostimulants and bioprotectants in crop production as an element of sustainable agriculture”. Responsible entity.

Task 6. Design and production of new generation biostimulants and analysis of their chemical composition.

Task 9. Testing the effect of the produced new generation biostimulants on plant phytopathogens and soil edaphon.

Part of task 10. Study of the effect of using biostimulants on the chemical and biochemical composition of soybean plants.

Tasks carried out by the Partner from Argentina:

Task 2. Study visit and seminar on “Adapting crop systems to climate change”. Responsible entity – Partner (UBA in Buenos Aires).

Tasks carried out by the Partner from Slovakia:

Task 3. Winter school “Biostimulants in Regenerative Agriculture”.

The result of the project that affects the implementation of long-term goals will be the integration of the international scientific community, through the awareness that research and dissemination cooperation will allow for the effective use of solutions created by science, which could be adapted in the global economy. The project will also result in papers presented during the conference, a developed strategy containing directions of cooperation and communication channels, and activities supporting the development of mutual relations in the scientific, training, and teaching spheres that go beyond the scope of the project. The project will also result in scientific publications based on the results of joint research.
