Pre- and probiotic biostimulants for improving Nutrient Use Efficiency

The inefficient application of synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizers has led to significant environmental pollution. Biostimulants offer a promising approach to mitigate issues related to N fertilization. This study aims to evaluate the impact of two biostimulants—a prebiotic and a probiotic—in compensating for deficient N fertilization. Specifically, we examined Terramin® Pro, based on L-α-amino acids and other biomolecules, and Terra Sorb® Symbiotic, combining L-α-amino acids and ...

A symbiotic biostimulant: combining pro- and pre-biotics to face the current Agricultural challenges

Terra-Sorb® symbiotic is a biostimulant containing L-α-amino acids & B. velezensis PH-023 CECT 30677. Isolated from Vélez River mouth in Málaga (Spain), this strain was selected among extremophile bacteria for its great growth capacity in difficult soil conditions for agriculture (high levels of alkalinity & salinity) where correct assimilation of macro and micronutrients by roots is difficult. PH-023 can fix atmospheric N, produces siderophores and phytohormones (auxins...

Soybean resistance against Asian soybean rust potentiated by Optimus®, a novel-induced resistance booster

Asian soybean rust (ASR), caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi, is a destructive disease affecting soybean production. This study aimed to use a phosphite (30% of phosphorus and 20% of potassium) formulated with L-α-free amino acids (Optimus®, Bioiberica, Spain) referred as induced resistance IR stimulus to reduce ASR symptoms and helping plants to have a better photosynthetic performance during infection process.

How Terramin® Pro, an L-α-amino acid-based biostimulant, modulates soil microbiome improving plant growth in challenging conditions

• Soil microbiome is gaining increasing attention as a modulator of soil health.
• Improving crop yield using sustainable biostimulants is an appealing alternative to chemical synthetic fertilizers.
• Novel strategies in biostimulant development advocate for the modulation of soil native microbio...
