AlgaEnergy’s Post

Generally speaking, in our sector of agricultural inputs, people sell products. Customers purchase a thing, for what it is. However, that entails the problem that we rely on customers to know and understand why they should or shouldn’t buy a product. With basic commodities and chemicals, there is no issue -everybody knows what they can and cannot expect from a fertilizer or pesticide-, but with biologicals such as biostimulants, there is a big gap..this can lead to frustration, overpromises, economic losses, distrust, etc. Biostimulants are solutions to problems. Customers buy a biostimulant, for what it does. Historically, what a product does has been demonstrated empirically, with lab and field trials under different hypothesis and conditions, that show a particular benefit. But now, this is not enough anymore… fortunately the market is evolving and becoming more sophisticated, and demands to know not only what a product does, but also why. The mechanism of action. This is key to generate the necessary trust to choose a particular solution amongst an ever growing set of options available in the market. I am thrilled to share just one example of the many efforts that AlgaEnergy is investing in this area, working with the best scientists we can find in each area of expertise. The degree of understanding of the MoA and academic excellence reflected in this paper, recently published in a very prestiged Journal, amazes me and is something I personally have not seen in the market up to now. We are happy to contribute to shape the market of biologicals while we leverage the immense potential of microalgae, combining the best technologies and forefront knowledge -from AlgaEnergy and from our network of collaborators-. Congratulations Fran Romero Campero and rest of the team for this milestone!! https://lnkd.in/dG2UqJU2

Importatnt recognition for #Aquaholder in the scientific community! 🔬 We're thrilled to share that the esteemed Agriculture journal has published an article about our innovative Aquaholder technology. Authored by our colleagues at the Research Institute of Plant Production in Piešťany, Katarína Hrčková and Katarína Ondrejíčková, the article delves deep into the impact of Aquaholder on sustainable agriculture. 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/e_DdNiBp The study highlights how the Aquaholder seed coating technology effectively reduces stress and supports plant growth during germination in dry periods. The research focused on the effects of Aquaholder on corn germination and emergence, as well as its influence on the genetic diversity of microbial communities in the rhizosphere over two years. The results? Young corn plants and their root systems in the early stages of development were positively influenced by Aquaholder. Growth parameters like height, weight, leaf number, and size of the soil part of plants treated with Aquaholder were significantly better compared to untreated controls. Furthermore, the presence of Aquaholder was found not to negatively impact the bacterial and fungal communities in the rhizosphere, even promoting the diversity of soil microorganisms. 🤩 This demonstrates the real-world effectiveness of our product. A big thank you to our colleagues at the Research Institute of Plant Production for their thorough research and insightful findings!🫶 #Aquaholder #SustainableAgriculture #PlantScience #InnovationInFarming

Join us for Talking Plant Science with Dr Alex Wu from The University of Queensland and Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI) 🌾 🗓️ Wednesday 17 April 🕙 11am-12pm (AEST) 📍 Zoom, register here: https://bit.ly/TPS-AW An increasing global food demand begs new strategy for crop yield improvement. Leaf CO2 assimilation is an important driver of crop growth and yield. However, the translation of leaf photosynthetic manipulation to crop yield performance is less straightforward. Yield is a complex emergent property driven by instantaneous leaf CO2 assimilation, summed over the whole canopy of the crop and across the entire crop life cycle, all interacting with environmental effects on growth and development of the crop. Here, I will present a ‘cross-scale’ crop modelling effort used to develop integrative leaf-to-field modelling tools, offering new predictive capabilities to aid photosynthesis and yield improvement. This: (i) enables in silico field testing of putative strategies for leaf photosynthetic manipulation in target population of environments; (ii) offers a platform for the dissection of crop growth components and identification of key photosynthetic properties for growth enhancement. The two-pronged, but complementary pathways are generating new information on the value proposition of photosynthetic manipulation and informing fundamental and applied research directions, helping to discover and support new strategies for crop yield improvement. Potential synergies with other crop research technologies are discussed. #webinar #plantscience

https://lnkd.in/gvKF5ixz Excited to share our latest research on predicting microbial inoculant success using macroecological models! 🌱 In agriculture, microbial inoculants are game-changers, but their success depends on persistence in new environments. We’ve adapted a macroecological propagule pressure model to predict microbial establishment, focusing on Pseudomonas simiae in a monocot system. Our findings show that repeated applications (propagule number) may significantly enhance establishment success, even when increasing concentration (propagule size) doesn’t. Check out the full paper for insights on sustainable microbial inoculant use in agriculture! 🌾 #MicrobialEcology #Sustainability #AgTech
