Biosphera reported to AgroPages that BioAction Sonar has a clear technical purpose: ″to promote nutritional bioaccessibility for the plant, enhancing the assimilation and translocation of essential elements for the vigorous and productive development of soybeans.″
The differential of Bacillus spizizenii lies in its performance in the rhizosphere, improving nutrient uptake by the plant. ″This is a highly relevant topic in today’s agriculture due to rising fertilizer costs and significant losses of these inputs in the fields,″ said Dr. André Nakatani, agricultural microbiologist and manager of research, development, and innovation at Biosphera.
According to Nakatani, BioAction Sonar acts as a catalyst for efficient nutrition, directly contributing to the crop’s physiological performance and positively impacting final productivity results, while optimizing the use of applied fertilizers. ″This represents not only a nutritional gain for the plant, but also a greater return on the producer’s investment in inputs,″ added Nakatani.
The development of the new solution involved a rigorous process of microbial selection and molecular characterization. The exclusive Bacillus spizizenii strain used by Biosphera had its genome sequenced and characterized, revealing potential functions associated with strategic agronomic traits and metabolic pathways involved in soil biofertility.
″These include the production of exopolysaccharides, biofilm, siderophores, enzymes, organic and inorganic acids, in addition to a high colonization capacity of the root system, competitiveness in the rhizosphere, and adaptive responses to stress,″ noted Nakatani.
Further, according to Nakatani, these characteristics reinforce the scientific foundation of the product and support the ″efficiency observed under field conditions, positioning BioAction Sonar as a biological tool with a broad functional spectrum and high agronomic value for soybeans.″
