FR Microorganisms allied to the earth
In our daily work at Ms Biotech, we constantly look to nature to offer sustainable, effective and environmentally friendly solutions. In this context, the inoculations of mycorrhizal fungi are among the most valuable resources we have for improving soil health and crop productivity. In this article, I want to explain what mycorrhizae are, how they work and which products we recommend to our customers.
Over the past few years, I have had the opportunity to talk to farmers, technicians and farms all over Italy. In many cases, those who approached these microorganisms for the first time did so with a mixture of curiosity and mistrust. But once they saw the results in the field - more developed roots, more vigorous plants, more vital soils - there was no turning back. For us, mycorrhiza is not a simple 'addition' to the fertilisation plan: it is the heart of a regenerative agronomic vision, capable of making a long-term difference.

What are mycorrhizal fungi?
Mycorrhizal fungi are symbiotic microorganisms that live in association with plant roots. In this relationship, the plant provides sugars and nutrients to the fungus, while the latter extends the root network, enhancing the uptake of water and minerals such as phosphorus, zinc and copper.
In our sector we mainly talk about:
- Endomycorrhizae (arbuscular): penetrate the root cells and is the most commonly used type in agriculture.
Unfortunately, intensive agricultural practices and the use of pesticides impoverish the soil, naturally reducing the presence of mycorrhizae. This is why we propose targeted solutions with effective inocula.
The benefits we see in the field
When we use mycorrhizal mushroom inocula, we observe clear and concrete improvements:
- ✅ Increased nutrient absorption
- ✅ Greater resistance to water and thermal stress
- ✅ Improvement of soil structure
- ✅ Accelerated root development
- ✅ Reducing chemical fertilisers
- ✅ More abundant and quality production
These results are the fruit of years of research and direct experimentation with farmers who share our vision of regenerative agriculture.
When and how we apply them
In our technical protocols, we recommend applying inoculations:
- At sowing or transplantingin direct contact with the roots
- In fertigationdiluted in water
- Mixed with the substrate in nurseries
The important thing is that the mycorrhizal spores reach the root zone. Optimal temperatures range from 10°C to 30°C, with adequate humidity.
The products we recommend and use at Ms Biotech
In our catalogue, we have selected some of the best mycorrhizal inoculums, designed to meet different needs. Here are the three that we most often recommend to our customers.
Our approach: regenerative agriculture
For us, it is not just about increasing production: we want to regenerating the soil. Mycorrhizae promote the formation of aggregates, improve physical structure and increase water retention capacity. They are invisible but vital allies in facing climatic and environmental challenges.
Mycorrhizal inoculums are a powerful tool for those who believe in healthier and more resilient agriculture. At Ms Biotech, we work every day to provide natural, effective and scientifically validated solutions.
