As you know, our work has long been focused on formulating biosolutions that use the benefits of certain microorganisms to improve crop yield and make them more resistant to stress and the various diseases that can affect them. These are microorganisms that, in many cases, can cause problems and diseases in certain crops, but which, through the application of biotechnology, can be used to favor them.
Well, on this occasion we are talking about the fungus Aspergillus niger EEZ-93, in this case present in our probiotic biofertilizer Asperbio.
And what exactly does Aspergillus niger EEZ-93 do? This fungus colonizes the plant’s root, improving its growth, optimizing its development and making it more tolerant to one of the biggest problems facing agriculture: drought and soil salinity. In addition, Asperbio increases the solubility of nutrients, including phosphate, and provides different benefits by containing high concentrations of natural phytohormones (auxins, cytokinins, etc.), carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, vitamins and minerals.
Direct and indirect benefits of Asperbio?
What is Aspergillus niger and why is it important?
This fungus has the advantage of solubilizing phosphorus, an essential nutrient for healthy plant growth. This microorganism converts insoluble phosphorus into soluble forms, facilitating its absorption by the roots and improving the development and yield of crops.
Its use is especially useful during germination, because this is when plants develop their root systems and can benefit most from this greater availability of phosphorus.
Aspergillus niger thus allows us to avoid the use of chemical fertilizers and, therefore, develop truly sustainable agriculture.
How does Asperbio work?
⇒It is a liquid biostimulant, stable at room temperature and highly effective.
⇒It can be applied to various horticultural crops in soil, such as chard, garlic, artichoke, celery, eggplant, broccoli, zucchini, onion, mushroom, cabbage, cauliflower, endive, white asparagus, green asparagus, spinach, strawberry, pea, broad bean, fennel, green bean, lettuce, melon, potatoes, pickle, cucumber, parsley, pepper, pepper for paprika, leek, radish, romanesco, watermelon, tomato, tomato for processing, carrot, etc.
⇒Its use allows to increase the parameters of crop vigor and production yield, since it favors the absorption of nutrients naturally present in the soil.
⇒Dose: Apply 2 L/ha between 5 and 10 days after transplant. It can be applied through an irrigation system (also drip irrigation).
⇒It is recommended to apply 10 days before or after inoculation of mycorrhizal fungi to avoid competition.
⇒It is not recommended to use it in conjunction with other products, such as fertilizers or phytosanitary products.
