Optimal Fruit Ripening: How Biostimulants Can Help
In agriculture, successfully growing a crop is only part of the challenge; ensuring that it delivers a high-quality harvest is equally important. When assessing produce quality, size is not necessarily the most relevant parameter. Instead, particular importance is placed on organoleptic characteristics and the balance between key quality parameters.
Thermal Resilience: 4 Ways to Sustain Plant Growth and Fruit Size
Excessive solar radiation and high temperatures directly affect the photosynthetic process by degrading chlorophyll and, consequently, impairing plant growth and fruit development. In fact, heat stress is estimated to reduce the photosynthetic efficiency of crops by up to 40%.
4 Reasons Why Soil Microorganisms Make Your Crops More Resilient
Certain bacteria and fungi that can survive in extreme environments can directly help plants withstand adverse abiotic stress.
Priming: 4 Key Tools to Enhance Plant Immune System Performance
Priming can be defined as the process of preparing, training, and conditioning plants to better cope with future challenges. Just as in humans, plant species require a robust immune system to withstand diseases, pests, and environmental stress. This agricultural technique, analogous to vaccination, induces a state of alert in plants, enabling them to respond more […]
Water is Essential: Enhancing Its Management Through Biostimulant Solutions
ON MARCH 22, WE ONCE AGAIN COMMEMORATED WORLD WATER DAY, AND ON MARCH 26, WORLD CLIMATE DAY, TWO OBSERVANCES THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, SERVE AS REMINDERS OF JUST HOW URGENT IT IS TO ADDRESS CLIMATE-RELATED CHALLENGES IN TODAY’S CONTEXT.
Abbreviated Dictionary of Regenerative Agriculture: Key Concepts
The circular economy proposes a regenerative approach that seeks to minimize waste generation and maximize the lifespan of resources. In agriculture, this means rethinking how inputs are used, how soil is managed, and how production cycles are designed. For this reason, we are including in our blog what we consider an abbreviated dictionary of regenerative […]
Certifications for Agricultural Inputs: 4 facts that confirm their importance
Certifications for agricultural inputs are crucial because they guarantee the safety, quality, and sustainability of the products used in crop production.
High Effectiveness of Asperbio and Prebiostart in the Biological Control of the Fusarium Fungus
A new trial conducted by BioAgroConsultores on an affected tomato crop confirms the effectiveness of MAFA prebiotics and probiotics in generating healthy soil and more vigorous plants without wilting symptoms.
Frost: how to protect our crops from low temperatures
The intracellular and extracellular ice that forms as a consequence of frost endangers the integrity of plant cells and can even cause their death.
Sustainable Food Production: A Priority for 5 Reasons
The transition toward sustainable food and agriculture is key to ensuring global food security. In other words, sustainable food production is the only way to face the future. Let’s remember that on this World Food Day.
World Agriculture Day: Biotechnology and Sustainability as a Reference
At MAFA, we believe that biotechnology is essential to addressing these challenges because, through continuous research, it allows us to provide solutions for a more sustainable and resilient agriculture
Microorganism-Based Biostimulants: More and Better Every Day
Microorganism-based biostimulants are more than just a short-term solution. In fact, they are a key element in moving towards a more resilient, efficient, and environmentally friendly agriculture.
