Mitigation of climate change through advanced phytotechnology for military lands
At two plantations established in Vorzel, Ukraine the Miscanthus-based system has been monitored multiyear. The research is focused on monitoring the pest populations and testing the impact of biochar to M×g biomass production. On April 5, 2026 the insect monitoring was conducted to assess pest populations. Generally, grub monitoring was carried out using soil excavation…
