Microorganisms (benefits)
The soil is rich in bacteria and fungi that benefit plants. They form a long-term relationship with plant roots and the surrounding rhizosphere. By the use of our soil-borne microorganisms we aim to optimize the supply of water and nutrients for the plants, thus enhancing their vitality and resistance.
