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.
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?
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!
