Expertise in plant-microbe interaction, especially arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant-growth promoting rhizobacteria; modelling of soil properties; conservation agriculture, especially direct sowing systems and cover crop application; metabolomics; systematic maps; and statistics of unbalanced experiments. Love to stay in touch with various aspect of the science dissemination and parlour games on strategy. Most studied species include winter cereals and legumes and at a lesser extent vegetable crops.
