FR Plant probiotics: what they are used for
Probiotics are microorganisms that can promote the health and well-being of many living things. Known as the 'good bacteria' and necessary for the proper functioning of the gut, they are actually also widely used in agriculture to promote plant growth and development.
Here, in particular, these micro-organisms are able to make scarce elements such as iron and phosphorous more absorbable. The latter, for example, is indispensable for plant rooting and flowering. Not only that, the use of probiotics in agriculture also offers many other benefits including:
- improved efficiency of nutrition
- improved efficiency of the root system
- greater absorption of water and nutrients
- healthier fruit and vegetables
- greater resistance to stress
Soil and plant probiotics: the role of the microbiota
On the other hand, of plant probiotic also provide valuable support for improving and promoting soil health, on which plant health naturally also depends.
In fact, to promote crops in agriculture, it is good to take care of the soil microbiota in particular, i.e. the collection of fungi and bacteria that interact with each other and with the plant itself. In particular, to obtain more productive harvests and higher quality fruit, it is essential to ensure its balance. In this way, it is also possible to protect plants from pathogens.
Otherwise, the disruption of this balance can seriously compromise the health of crops, causing their impoverishment. In such cases, it can be remedied by using natural probiotic products,true supplements to promote soil and plant health.
Soil and plant probiotics: the most effective products
In this regard, we at Ms Biotech recommend Balance, a product based on prebiotics and probiotics useful for restoring tired soils. Developed from a special combination of a microbial inoculum and a fluid nutrient base of exclusively natural origin, Balance is designed to rebalance the soil microbiota,thereby promoting plant growth and development.
This particular formulation is designed for cases of soil fatigue,a condition that occurs, for example, in over-exploited soils or where there is heavy use of chemicals and fungicides. The latter, in fact, although used to increase soil productivity, kill both bad and good bacteria, altering the balance of the soil microbiota. The soil is therefore impoverished and therefore unsuitable for growing lush plants.
In situations like these, a product such as Balance is therefore essential.The probiotic is in fact able to restore the natural biological fertility and rebalance the nutritional status of the soil. In particular, the microbial inoculum, consisting of a bacterial pool based on Bacillus spp., induces the natural production of biostimulant and active defence substances in anticipation of biotic stress due to the presence of harmful microorganisms.
Not only that, the inoculum is capable of repopulating the depleted soil and restoring the natural microbiological balance, thus contributing to proper crop development.
