Zaragoza, Aragón, España

I'm in charge of the general coordination of the registrations, authorizations and approvals of the Fertinagro Biotech International catalog, as well as the review and preparation of technical documentation and product labeling and the coordination and alignment with commercial teams, R&D, clients and subsidiaries.

Zaragoza, Aragón, España

I took care of everything related to the greenhouse and field trials (from design to the drafting of the final report, through the statistical study of the results) to check the effectiveness of our products. Also in charge of the regulatory affairs and, together with the laboratory staff, the registration of the products throughout the world. Technical support of the commercials, I travel with them at specific times to give talks or technical conferences. My PhD in plant physiology enables me to develop product, which I do in relation to mycorrhizae.

Demostration of Barbastro's pink tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) differentiation through morphological, physicochemical and molecular characterization of native plant material. The Pink Tomato has always been a very popular in Barbastro (Aragon, Spain). Currently, the Association of Traditional Gardeners and Friends of the Huerta del Alto Aragón are seeking the C'alial recognition. The Spanish Government gives that recognition to food products recognized for their quality. Achieving this distinction allows an important crop establishment and commercial outlet solvent with what this entails economy and improvement of income for farmers and gardeners.

"Microclimate, physiology of Fagus sylvatica L. & soil biology of beech forest Northwest of Navarra - natural regeneration after clear-cutting"In the North of Spain, natural regeneration has been used for restoring numerous clear-cut beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forests. However, several factors can decrease survival of young seedlings within clear-cut areas and, consequently, both the common pattern of natural regeneration and microclimate are altered, with the subsequent influence on the development of seedlings. We studied anatomical and physiological characteristics of both sun and shade leaves in beech trees growing within an unmanaged beech forest and two stands clear-cut in 1996 or 2001 and then left to naturally regenerate from the disturbance. Physicochemical and biological properties -including basal respiration, carbon biomass, enzymatic activities and presence of both arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi- were also tested in soils. Our results demonstrated that parameters related to anatomy, photosynthesis and carbon metabolism in sun and shade leaves were affected by microclimatic conditions, being light and temperature within stands mainly determined by stem density. In addition, the dynamics of enzymatic activities in soils across the four seasons of the year differed among unmanaged and disturbed beech stands. Moreover, changes in the composition of understory due to altered microclimate strongly affect the infectivity of native AMF in clear-cut beech forests and ECM colonization of beech roots showed seasonal dynamics in the disturbed areas. Comparable numbers of different ECM morphotypes were found in the three beech stand, which indicates that ECM diversity was quite high and similar within disturbed and unmanaged areas. Based on all these results, some recommendations for forestry management are suggested.
