Flowering and fruit setting: how to increase size and dry matter naturally
Flower setting represents one of the most delicate and decisive phases for the productivity of many agricultural crops. Irregular setting, in fact, can compromise the quantity, uniformity, and final quality of the produce, directly impacting the profitability of the farm. At the same time, the subsequent phases of fruit growth and dry matter increase also play a role […]
Improvement of soil properties: active microbiota and reduction of disease incidence
In recent years, soil has returned to the centre of modern agriculture. An increasing number of farms are understanding how soil quality is one of the most important factors for achieving healthy, balanced, and productive yields in the long term. Depleted, intensively exploited, or microbiologically unbalanced soil can indeed cause numerous problems: […]
Monilia on fruit trees: how to sustainably prevent Monilia laxa and Monilia fructigena
Brown rot in fruit trees is one of the most widespread and feared problems in numerous tree crops, especially during the flowering, fruit set, and fruit ripening stages. In particular, pathogens such as *Monilia laxa* and *Monilia fructigena* can compromise both the quality and quantity of production, causing significant economic damage. In recent years, moreover, […]
Potato Protocol: Managing wireworms and nematodes in the soil sustainably
Potato cultivation requires careful management of the root system and soil health. Among the most widespread and difficult-to-manage problems are root-knot nematodes and wireworms; these pests can compromise yield, commercial quality, and crop uniformity. Furthermore, in recent years, an increase in environmental stresses and microbiological impoverishment of the [...]
Calcium deficiency in plants: symptoms, causes, and how we intervene with Veratech Ca
Calcium deficiency is one of the most widespread and, at the same time, most underestimated nutritional problems in agriculture. Here at MS Biotech, we know how fundamental this element is for ensuring healthy, resistant, and productive crops. Calcium is not simply another nutrient among many; it represents a key component for the structure […]
Improving nitrogen nutrition efficiency with Vita
Nitrogen is one of the most important nutrients for plant growth, but at the same time, it is also one of the most difficult to manage efficiently. Here at MS Biotech, we are well aware that sub-optimal nitrogen fertilisation can lead to waste, soil losses, and negative impacts that are both economic and environmental. For this reason […]
Rizotech MB: microbiological solution for improving soil fertility and root development
In recent years, attention towards soil microbiology has grown significantly. Farmers, technicians, and companies in the sector are increasingly understanding how vital soil microorganisms are for plant health and the fertility of agricultural soils. It is in this context that microbiological solutions developed to support […]
Regenerative agriculture: what it is and why it's the future of soil
In recent years, the concept of regenerative agriculture has been attracting increasing attention in the agricultural world. Farmers, researchers, and companies in the sector are understanding how fundamental it is not only to preserve soil but to improve it over time. Regenerative agriculture represents precisely this: an approach that aims to regenerate the natural fertility of the land, increasing biodiversity […]
N-P-K in fertilisers: meaning, differences and how to choose the most suitable solution
When discussing crop fertilisation, one of the best-known acronyms is N-P-K. This combination represents the three main nutrients required for plant growth: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). Understanding the role of these nutrients and how they are used in fertilisers is fundamental to improving agricultural yields.
Soil microorganisms: a comprehensive guide to improving plant health
Soil health is one of the most important elements in achieving productive, resilient and sustainable crops. In recent years, there has been increasing talk about soil microbiology and the fundamental role that microorganisms play in plant development. Beneficial bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms form an invisible but [...]
FUNGY STAR: why it is an essential product for the vine and a more resilient vineyard
In the modern wine industry, we are faced with increasingly complex challenges: climate change, recurring environmental stresses, depleted soils and increasing pressure from organisms that can compromise vine physiology. In order to maintain high quality production and ensure continuity over the years, we consider it essential to adopt advanced biological technologies capable of [...]
Beetles: what they are, why they are harmful and how to solve the problem naturally
Beetles represent one of the most widespread and hardy groups of insects in agricultural ecosystems. Their ability to adapt, reproduce quickly and feed on a wide range of plants makes them a major cause of yield loss in many crops. Understanding what they are, how they act and what strategies to use to sustainably contain them [...]
Inoculation of mycorrhizal fungi for sustainable agriculture
Mycorrhizal fungi inoculums for agriculture: our biological solution for a living, productive soil Soil fertility is at the heart of any agricultural system. In recent decades, the overuse of chemical fertilisers and intensive agronomic practices have depleted the microbial biodiversity of soils, compromising plant health and productivity. As [...]
Nematodes: types, crop damage and natural biological solutions with Nematech
Nematodes: a common problem Nematodes represent one of the most widespread and insidious problems in the agricultural world. Invisible to the naked eye, these tiny organisms can compromise crop health, reduce agricultural productivity and make the entire soil ecosystem more vulnerable. At MS Biotech, we work every day to offer biological and sustainable solutions against [...]
