04/2025: Christoph Obermaier receives Best Poster Award
Christoph, PhD student at the Research Unit Comparative Microbiome Analysis receives the Best Poster Award at the 11th HEFagrar PhD Symposium in Freising Weihenstephan for his presentation about vermicompost as a basis for the sustainable use of the soil microbiome in agricultural soils.
“This poster presents a novel, scalable approach to sustainable agriculture through vermicomposting, transforming farm waste into high-quality compost using earthworms. By integrating microbiome analysis, greenhouse trials, and field applications, the research bridges fundamental science with practical solutions for farmers worldwide. Its interdisciplinary focus—linking gut microbiota, substrate composition, and compost quality—demonstrates strong innovation and potential for real-world impact, making it a standout candidate for the Best Poster Award.”
