Torsten Müller

Prof. Dr. Torsten Müller is a Professor and Director of the Fertilization and Soil Matter Dynamics department at Universität Hohenheim. He specializes in soil fertility, nutrient dynamics, and sustainable agricultural practices. His research focuses on nitrogen cycling, fertilizer efficiency, and environmental impacts of agricultural practices.

Current research projects include investigating greenhouse gas emissions from soil liming and adapting maize-based systems to phosphate limitations. He leads the International Research Training Group 'Adaptation of maize-based food-feed-energy systems to limited phosphate resources'.

Recent publications examine nitrogen absorption in crops, ammonia emissions from fertilizers, and meta-analyses of starter fertilization benefits. Research interests span soil chemistry, biometeorology, and interdisciplinary soil science applications.

Prof. Müller is actively involved in teaching advanced soil science projects and interdisciplinary agrarian courses. His work bridges laboratory studies (e.g., incubation experiments) with field-scale sustainability challenges in nutrient management.
