The influence of different watering conditions on plant vitality and crop yield was measured during one harvesting season. To determine vitality factors a variety of measurements have been performed including but not limited to CO2 and VOC during plant growth, microbiological and chemical quality of the irrigation water, chemical analysis of the soil and next generation sequencing data of the bacterial (16S) and fungal (ITS) community present in the ground after the growth period. As scientific project partners the BMA team was responsible for scientific supervision and reporting.
