Michele Butturini

Michele Butturini is a PhD candidate and external employee at the Horticulture & Product Physiology department, actively contributing to research in vertical farming, plant physiology, and nutrient management.

Research Focus:

• Vertical farming systems
• Vegetable crop optimization (tomatoes, lettuce, hazelnuts)
• Nutrient deficiency dynamics in juvenile plants
• Environmental factors in plant growth (light, temperature, root zones)

Key Article Trends: His work explores the interplay of light intensity, nutrient solutions, and climate control in indoor farming, with a regional emphasis on Europe and global scalability challenges. Collaborative projects highlight interdisciplinary approaches to food systems and product quality.
