Organic fertilizer using natural beneficial fungi

Agrocode has acquired a patent for Mycogel, an innovative product which uses natural, beneficial fungi (mycorrhizae in vitro) to help plants endure extreme conditions increasing water and nutrient absorption by crops. The beneficial fungi present in the gel work to stimulate plant growth and survival during stress conditions, such as drought, salinity, poor soil quality or extreme pH (acidity). Mycogel’s natural ingredients also help plants protect themselves against harmful bacteria, fungus or nematodes (pathogens) and pest attacks, while promoting greater plant vigour and survival after transplantation.
According to Agrocode’s own research, for each centimetre of plant root treated, three metres of mycorrhizal root are produced which enable the plant to access areas of soil that could not previously be reached. With the highest content available on the market of ultrapure mycorrhizae, Mycogel helps plants to better absorb water and nutrients, ensuring a greater quality and quantity of production.
