Superbac announced to AgroPages the launch in Brazil of Smartgran biological conditioner, formulated with the so-called ″intelligent bacteria″, which increases the biological activity of the soil, improving its agronomic quality and providing greater vigor to plants.
The Brazilian agricultural production model is marked by the binomial soy-corn or soy-wheat, which promotes low biological diversity in the soil and consequently impacts the reduction of productivity.
Highly focused on regenerative agriculture, Smartgran is a high-quality organic compound combined with a synergistic blend of bacteria that act on the soil, increasing its biological activity and improving its agronomic quality.
According to Edner Betioli Junior, manager of PDI Agro at Superbac, among the differentials of the solution, we can highlight the greater start of cultures, rooting, greater tolerance to hydric stress, and healthier and more productive crops.
″These are the examples often reported by farmers using Smartgran,″ said Betioli Junior, who has a Ph.D. in Soils and Plant Nutrition.
With intelligent bacteria, the farmer is guaranteed the health of the soil with the highest activity of the Arylsulfatase and Betaglucosidase enzymes, involved in the sulfur and carbon cycle.
″In addition to being an important tool for increasing the biological diversity of the soil, Smartgran also provides the differential of greater efficiency in nutrient absorption, which results in increased crop productivity and stability of the production system,″ he reinforced.
Another highlight of the technology is its contribution to increasing productivity in the same area by inserting organic matter in the fertilization process and increasing the diversity of species of microorganisms beneficial to the soil/plant.
Added to all these benefits, there is another one that we cannot fail to mention: the reduction in the use of chemical products.
The organic matter present in Smartgran is a food source for soil biota and its decomposition process releases substances that are highly capable of promoting physiological improvements to plants, such as humic acids and fulvic acids.
Similarly, smart bacteria also promote increased microbial activity, resulting in increased production of a series of important enzymes for the availability and supply of nutrients.
″This generates less dependence on high doses of fertilizers from mineral sources,″ the Ph.D. in soils reinforced.
Experiments with Smartgran prove how much the technology stands out in the market.
When the enzymatic activity of Arylsulfatase (the main enzyme involved in the sulfur cycle) was evaluated, Superbac's biological conditioner outperformed the control treatment without fertilizer by 46%, mineral fertilizer by 20% and organic fertilizer without biotechnology by 18%.
″The product demonstrates its greater influence on the biological activity of the soil, which results in greater crop productivity and stability of the production system,″ the Agronomist said in conclusion.
