Scientific Activity

• Since 1995-, collaborator at different Research Projects concerning the sustainable agriculture, managed in the Department of Crop Production - University of Tuscia (Viterbo, Italy):
• "Sustainable polycultural systems with native legumes and grasses";
• "Winter cover crops for sustainable farming systems";
• "Crop rotation and Intercropping in the sustainable cropping systems";
• "Use of cover crop mulches in processing tomato production systems";.
• "Crop management for seeds production in organic farming systems";

• Roberto Mancinelli focuses attention in the studies and agroecology researches, and particularly in:
• sustainable agriculture;
• study, projectation and analysis of the crop and farm systems concerning sustainable agriculture;
• agroecology performances in the cropping systems at farm level (input/output analysis, sustainability indicators).
