Nuria Pedrol | Sustainable Weed Management | Research Excellence Award

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nuria Pedrol | Sustainable Weed Management | Research Excellence Award

Associate Professor | University of Vigo | Spain

Dr. Nuria Pedrol is a distinguished researcher in Plant Ecophysiology, Allelopathy, Weed Control, and Organic Farming, with a strong focus on plant interactions, stress physiology, and sustainable weed management. Her research primarily explores the biochemical and ecological roles of allelochemicals in plant–plant interactions, natural bioherbicide development, and plant responses to abiotic stress, alongside emerging interests in green manure-based weed suppression and soil restoration. She has served as a researcher and faculty member at the University of Vigo, contributing to leading projects on environmental sustainability and crop protection. She has co-authored notable scientific books and handbook chapters, and her transcriptomic studies in Arabidopsis have deepened understanding of plant detoxification mechanisms. With high-impact publications, refined biochemical methodologies, and sustainable agriculture innovations, her work promotes low-chemical-input farming and improved soil health. Guided by a vision of climate-adaptive and eco-friendly agriculture, she aims to advance natural-product herbicides and ecological crop management for global food security and environmental conservation.
