The biofertilizer contains primarily of beneficial microorganisms, including arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), bacteria, and other fungi. These microorganisms are produced in vitro, in axenic cultures, and in vivo, resulting in effective inoculants. The AMF included in the biofertilizer belong to species such as Funneliformis mosseae, Rhizophagus irregularis, and Archaeospora spp., which have been isolated, multiplied because of their effectivity and efficiency.
The fertilizer is delivered in the form of alginate-based capsules containing the inoculum, which includes spores, hyphae, and colonized roots, as well as phosphate-solubilizing bacteria capable of
making phosphorus more accessible.
It is suitable for use on crops such as wheat, barley, sunflower, tomato, chickpea and alfalfa. Application is most effective directly after planting or during early crop stages to maximize the interaction between the microorganisms and plant roots. The biofertilizer stimulates nutrient uptake efficiency and supports crop growth. This way, the biofertilizer can be a potential to mineral fertilizers.
