Now more than ever, it is known that soil is an essential resource for agriculture. It is a living and complex entity, full of life, as it is home to a quarter of the planet’s biological diversity, and therefore plays a fundamental role in biodiversity. According to the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations), it is estimated that 95% of food is produced directly or indirectly in our soils.
We cannot change the soil we have, but we can protect and strengthen it, ‘nurturing’ it in a sustainable way to ensure the productivity of the soil-plant system over time and revitalise it.
For a long time, the living part of the soil has been a secondary element in agriculture and this vital resource has been approached mainly from a physical and chemical perspective, given by NPK balance or mineral fertilisation. However, recent studies highlight the essential role of its microbiota in agricultural sustainability and crop yields. The activity of beneficial microorganisms not only improves soil-plant symbiosis, but also contributes to bringing crops as close as possible to their yield potential. Different types of microorganisms play key roles in the soil and positively influence different aspects of the soil, such as nutrient mobilisation, improved tolerance to abiotic stress and pathogen control.
At LIDA Plant Research, we are committed to innovative solutions to strengthen the biological balance of the soil. Our biostimulant Rental Bioforce combines in an exclusive formulation humic acids from leonardite, seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) and microorganisms such as Trichoderma harzianum and Bacillus subtilis, promoting an ideal environment to achieve an excellent and resistant root system that allows the crop to take advantage of every drop of water, as well as the beneficial activation of microbial life and the formation of humus.
The future of agriculture lies in knowing the soil better and working hand in hand with nature rather than against it. With tools such as Rental Bioforce, we promote sustainable soil management, enabling us to harness its full potential, increase yields and conserve its biodiversity.
