How to fight elaterids or 'ferrets'

Helatherids, also known as 'ferrets', pose a threat to crops. Find out sustainable strategies to combat them.

NPK Fertilisers Enriched with Microorganisms: An Innovative Turn in Plant Nutrition

NPK fertilisers (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) provide plants with essential nutrients for healthy growth. However, a recent innovation is changing the agricultural landscape: the addition of selected microbial inoculums in fertilisers.

Sustainable Agriculture of the Future: Biotechnology and Microorganisms at the Service of the Soil

Sustainable agriculture has become a key priority in the current context, in which climate change, a growing global population and dwindling natural resources are challenging our planet's ability to feed its population. In this context, biotechnology and the use of microorganisms play a crucial role in the evolution of a more sustainable and resilient agriculture.

Nematodes: a hidden threat

Nematodes, or roundworms, are a large class of organisms that play a significant role in ecosystems around the world. These microscopic, unsegmented worms can be plant pests and cause a number of problems in agriculture.

How to prevent stone fruit monilia

Monilia of stone fruit is a disease caused by various pathogenic fungi, which, in a favourable environment, can cause serious damage to plants.

Trichoderma harzianum: A valuable aid to soil management

More than 90% of plants have symbiotic relationships with fungi, with mechanisms that can vary from simple opportunistic links to an exclusive relationship, in the absence of which there is no plant development, or sub-optimal growth.

COVERING FERTILISATION OF SPRING AND WINTER CEREALS: AN ADVANTAGEOUS SOLUTION

Often we try to do quality in cereals, without getting great results, by depriving the crop of the right amounts of fertiliser units or by not distributing fertilisers at all, or by skipping important fertilisation rounds in pre-sowing or in coverage. How, then, to achieve correct cover fertilisation?

Olive grove transplanting: when to do it and how

The olive tree is a fruit tree widely cultivated throughout the Mediterranean. Probably originating in Asia Minor and Syria, it is now one of Italy's main crops and therefore plays a key role in the country's economy. Read more.

Dry grain tanning: what is it and what is it used for?

Tanning of cereals is a treatment that consists of applying substances such as crop protection agents, fertilisers or biostimulants to the seed in a precise and localised manner. Read more.

Fertilising vines in autumn: techniques and benefits

Fertilisation is an agricultural practice that restores substances removed by cultivation to the soil and thus improves its biological, chemical and physical properties. It is therefore an action aimed at rebalancing soil health, which is also fundamental for plant development and growth. Read more!

Beauveria Bassiana: a parasitic fungus of insect pests

Beauveria bassiana is an antagonistic, endophytic and entomopathogenic fungus that was discovered by the entomologist Agostino Bassi in 1835. This microorganism acts as a parasite of several insect families and is therefore widely used for plant and crop protection in agriculture. Read more!

Zeolite: an ally against abiotic and biotic stresses

Increasingly used in both conventional and organic agriculture, zeolite is able to boost the immune system of plants, protecting them from insects and fungal diseases. Find out more by reading the article!
