The importance of liquid trace elements for plants: targeted nutrition and intelligent biostimulation
At MS Biotech, we work every day to develop effective and sustainable solutions for modern agriculture. Among the often neglected protagonists of plant nutrition are microelements: substances that are present in minute quantities in the soil, but which are essential for the proper functioning of plant metabolism. This is why we have developed a complete line of liquid micro-nutrients, [...]
Nitrogen in plants: what it is used for and how to improve it with the natural biostimulant VITA
Nitrogen in plants: why it is essential and how to act naturally with VITA Nitrogen is one of the most important nutrients for plant growth and development. It is involved in vital processes such as photosynthesis, protein synthesis and plant tissue formation. A deficiency or excess of nitrogen can compromise [...]
Botrytis in plants: how to recognise it and solve it naturally with BOTRIMAX
Botrytis, also known as grey mould, is one of the most widespread and damaging fungal diseases in agriculture. It affects a wide range of crops - vegetables, fruit, vines, ornamentals - and can cause significant production losses if not managed in a timely manner. In this article we will look at what botrytis is, how it manifests itself, what [...]
Regenerative agriculture: what it is and how we can help you regenerate your soil
In recent years we hear more and more about regenerative agriculture, an innovative and sustainable approach that aims not only to preserve, but to regenerate soil, improve biodiversity and increase the resilience of agricultural ecosystems. In this article we want to explain what it is, why it is so important today and how our [...]
Powdery mildew and downy mildew: what they are, differences and how we can help you
Powdery mildew and downy mildew are two of the most common and damaging fungal diseases in agriculture. They affect a wide variety of crops - from grapevines to vegetables, tomatoes, lettuce, courgettes and cereals - and can seriously affect crop yields and quality. Often confused with each other, these two diseases have different causes, conditions [...]
Microorganisms in agriculture: what they are, how they act and why they make a difference
In recent years, agriculture has undergone a profound transformation. From a model based on the intensive use of fertilisers and pesticides, it is moving towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach. In this context, beneficial agricultural microorganisms are revolutionising crop management, offering natural and effective solutions to nourish, protect and regenerate the soil. [...]
Nematodes: An Invisible Threat to Tomato, Potato and Carrot Crops
Plant-parasitic nematodes are among the most insidious pests threatening modern agriculture. Among the most affected crops are tomato, potato and carrot. Effective management of nematodes is therefore essential to ensure abundant and sustainable harvests.
Olive fly: a threat to crops
The olive fly, Bactrocera oleae, represents a major threat to olive production in the Mediterranean. The management of this pest requires an integrated approach that takes into account the different development stages of the insect, with a focus on phytosanitary efficacy and environmental sustainability.
