Promotional drawing of the project, designed by Bárbara López

In this project led by Dr. Victoria Fernández, we investigated the usefulness of various minerals in aqueous suspensions for use as foliar fertilisers. To this end, we studied the dissolution kinetics of the minerals and their behaviour in equilibrium. We are also studying other compounds for the development of foliar formulations.
