Stefano Carlesi

Stefano Carlesi is an Assistant Professor specializing in Agronomy and Field Crops (AGR/02). His research focuses on agroecology and functional agrobiodiversity, particularly in optimizing planned biodiversity to enhance resource use efficiency in agroecosystems through digital technology transfer. His work explores weed ecology, landscape ecology, and crop production techniques like reduced tillage and subsidiary crops.

• Weed community composition and its role in agroecosystem services
• Crop production optimization via living mulches and intercropping
• Digital agriculture integration for sustainable practices
• Soil health improvement through vegetation covers

Recent publications highlight his contributions to understanding nitrogen dynamics in legume intercropping systems, climate adaptation strategies, and functional diversity applications. His work spans Mediterranean cropping systems, with notable emphasis on lentil and wheat integration, vineyard management, and digital technology's role in sustainable agriculture.
