What is the difference between MICOSAT F products and those on the market containing only mycorrhizal fungi?

MICOSAT F® formulations are communities based on mycorrhizal fungi, but they also contain plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and saprophytes. Despite their intrinsic diversity, microbial consortia tend to respond to environmental stress factors as a single organism, having more possibilities than any single microbial strain, because they adapt one or more of their components to each stress factor.

Is the prevention of root system pathogenic fungi limited to one specific microorganism?

No, the microbial community present in the MICOSAT F® range, by occupying the biological niche of the rhizosphere, helps prevent the establishment of the main pathogenic fungi of the root system.

During which time of the year is it recommended to inoculate these products?

They can be inoculated at any time of the year; upon vegetative restart, their action is visually more evident for those crops with medium-long cycles. The presence of water is necessary because, to carry out their activities, they need humidity to exceed 8%.

Can I request seedlings treated with MICOSAT F® from the nursery?

All top nurseries have the opportunity, upon request, to inoculate our products.

Is it possible to obtain a higher production yield?

Yes, the use of our microbial consortia leads to better plant nutrition and prevention against potential risks from fungal plant diseases of the root system, reducing possible plant failures. For these dual reasons, a higher yield can be achieved.

How much can the root system increase with the use of your products?

Even up to 800 times more.

At which phenological stage of the crop cycle is it best to act?

You can intervene at any stage, but the optimal condition is at planting.

Is it possible to achieve a reduction in nitrates in some crops?

Yes, significant reductions in nitrates have been found in many crops, especially in fresh-cut produce (ready-to-eat salads).

Why does soil organic matter increase with the continuous use of microorganisms?

Because microorganisms have a continuous life cycle in which they reproduce and die; over the years, those that have completed their process accumulate in the soil, becoming organic matter themselves.

Can it promote fruit set?

Yes, because the plant, having a larger root system available, feeds better and therefore has more resources to develop a greater number of fruits.

Can fungicide products be used?

Many fungicides are compatible with our product, but avoiding simultaneous application is an excellent choice.

Are they allowed in organic farming?

Absolutely yes, our formulations have been registered for use in organic agriculture.

Is use possible and recommended after soil fumigation?

About 30 to 50 days after a soil disinfection treatment, it is possible to introduce the MICOSAT F® microbial community into the soil. It is also recommended because parasites to be controlled are not always in a phase susceptible to the fumigant (in fact, un-germinated weed seeds, fungal sclerotia, encysted nematodes, and parasites protected by various biological structures, such as root fragments, escape control more easily).

Is it true that the distribution of some of your formulations contributes to the shortening of plant internodes (brachysm)?

Yes, it has been observed that the specific balance of microorganisms in certain MICOSAT F formulations can influence the plant's hormonal balance, naturally favoring a more compact growth and shorter internodes (brachysm), resulting in a sturdier plant.
