Terramin® Pro | Terra-Sorb® | Applied Knowledge | Inicium® | StresSal® | Equilibrium®
Bioiberica, a company dedicated to developing products based on L-α-amino acids and other bioactive compounds from natural extracts, has been investing for several years in reducing dependence on the use of chemical synthesis fertilizers to protect both the soil and the crops.
We present the use of different
biostimulants as a sustainable solution to the productive requirements of the European Union. Results of various trials with the
Terra-Sorb® organic,
Equilibrium® and
Terramin® Pro products, certified biostimulants for use in organic farming, support their efficacy in yield improvements, harvest quality and fruit quality.

Applied Knowledge | Cera-Trap® | Suzukii Trap® / Dacus Trap®
Chemical pesticides are falling out of favour with consumers and regulators alike. There’s never been a clearer need to maintain plants and crop health in a way that’s sustainable and keeps the balance of the farm ecosystem in check.
That’s where biocontrol comes in. A natural solution, biocontrol is an alternative to chemical pesticides that’s gaining traction year on year – by 2025, it’s estimated that the market will be worth $10 billion. But what’s fuelling this growth and why should companies targeting the agricultural, food and related industries take note?

Terramin® Pro | Applied Knowledge
The role of Nitrogen in the production of crops is well known and, therefore, the use of nitrogen fertilizers has increased in recent decades to generate serious environmental and health pollution situations. Faced with this reality, the European Commission has launched the Green Deal to promote more sustainable agriculture, in which it has been proposed to reduce excess nutrients by 50% and the use of fertilizers by 20% by 2030, among other measures. Terramin® Pro is Bioiberica's new biostimulant based on a high concentration of high-quality L-α-amino acids that enhances the autochthonous soil microbiota, optimizes natural resources and fertilization, improving the efficient use of nutrients, and in particular of nitrogen.

Terra-Sorb® | Applied Knowledge
The following article shows the results of an exhaustive comparative study of both analytical characterization and agronomic efficacy of 4 biostimulant products from different sources of raw material (animal and plant origin) and methods of production (chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis). Regarding the analytical characterization, the results show a greater degree of hydrolysis and a more complete and balanced amino acid profile of the Terra-Sorb® biostimulant compared to other products of plant origin and chemical hydrolysis. The high degree of racemization of biostimulants of plant origin is also indicative that at some point in the process there has been a chemical treatment (acid hydrolysis) while the Terra-Sorb® product (enzymatic hydrolysis) is the only one that maintains a high proportion of L-α-amino acids. On the other hand, in the comparison of the agronomic efficacy carried out under a test model in pepper and saline stress, it becomes clear how the variable quality depending on the origin and method of obtaining determines the agronomic efficacy of the amino-based biostimulants. The test reveals how the highest productive yield of the Terra-Sorb® biostimulant in saline conditions is due to the free amino acid content of the product and not to a simple nitrogen supply. In addition, equating application doses according to the percentage of free amino acids, it is revealed that other bioactive compounds of the Terra-Sorb® product would enhance this greater tolerance to stress observed in the treated plants.
