INOCULANTS AND BIO-INDUCTORS
We are experts in strain selection, propagation, and packaging under strict quality assurance standards are your best assurances of superior nitrogen fixation and increased crop yields.
Osmo Protection Technology (TOP) promotes high metabolic and physiological performance of the microorganisms that are part of the inoculant
TOP improves the physiological state, survival rate, and concentration of bacteria both in the package and once the seed is treated. This technology also improves stress tolerance, especially when the inoculant is used with chemical seed treatments or under moisture-limited conditions.
This technology allows efficient nodulation and Biological Nitrogen Fixation, even under adverse conditions, such as high temperatures and drought, that may affect the survival of the microorganisms. Climate change is increasing the frequency of stressful events during the early stages of the crop. In this context, a resilient inoculant becomes a valuable tool to optimize production levels.
Bio-inducers is a new and pioneering concept in the field of agricultural microbiology. They open a gateway to the world of chemical signaling between plants and microorganisms. Bio-inducers trigger molecular signaling early on in the metabolic processes between bacteria and plants, which allows early nodulation..
In other words, in the manufacturing process, bacteria have been prepared to recognize and respond immediately to specific chemical signals produced by the legumes. This state-of-the-art technology encourages the symbiotic partnering of plants and bacteria. It stimulates interaction with other beneficial soil microorganisms. Bio-induction also promotes growth of legumes as a result of a greater activity in the rhizosphere and more effective nodulation.
With specially designed inoculant formulations and sophisticated application methods, seed companies are able to treat seed in direct combination with fungicides, insecticides, micronutrients, and polymers. Enhancing the inoculant with a long-life formuation achieves extended on-seed rhizobia survival time, providing growers with a high-quality, yet simple solution.
Long Life Inoculant (LLI) Technology in soybeans allows treatment for 220 days before seeding, even when mixed with fungicides and herbicides. The exact time frame is directly influenced by the chemicals combined and storage conditions of the treated seed.
This cutting-edge technology becomes a powerful ally to the seed industry, allowing ready-to-use seeds with superior quality, in terms of product distribution, dust-off control, and flow.
Rizobacter presents its new formulation of Higher Concentration (HC) inoculants based on specially selected bacterium that make the seed treatment process more efficient.
This new generation of inoculants aims to reduce the application rate, improve the interaction with other technologies in the seed treatment, and maximize nodulation and Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF). Moreover, it is compatible with many common seed treatments, making application more convenient, and so prevents issues at planting time.
To ensure the efficiency of our inoculants we:
Count our microorganisms by measuring how many of them go to the seed with the inoculant.
Evaluate nodules by counting how many nodules are on the root of our soybean plant and other legumes. We also observe the positioning of the nodules and thanks to our technology we are able to have increased nodule counts on the primary root of the plant. This ensures a more effective nutrient transfer and energy utilization in the development of the crop.
Measure the nodular dry mass. The number of nodules is important; however, mass is a vital criteria. With greater mass, the development of Biological Fixation of Nitrogen is very effective.
The inoculation of seeds is a biotechnological process by which two different types of living creatures come together: a microsymbiont (rhizobium) and a macrosymbiont (seed of a legume plant). After the union, the common structure developed is called the nodule. It is there where the beneficiary processes for both parts take place.

The legume is the carbonated source needed by the microorganism and the rhizobium provides the nitrogen needed to produce proteins.
Con nuestros programas de investigación y desarrollo logramos seleccionar microorganismos muy específicos que se asocian con las plantas para potenciar la productividad de un cultivo.
Through our investigative and manufacturing programs we are able to select very specific microorganisms that can associate with the plants to enhance the productivity of the crop.
The development of the crop is greatly conditioned by the availability of nitrogen. Legumes, like soybean, because of its high protein content, must accumulate great quantities of this nutrient (nitrogen) and it cannot be only supplied by the soil. Through inoculation, the Biological Nitrogen Fixation provides a great part of the total nitrogen needed to obtain good growth and quality grains that have a high protein concentration.
Some crops, such as soybeans, peas, beans, alfalfa, clover, and peanuts have the ability to create a symbiotic relationship with bacteria in order to capture atmospheric nitrogen. These bacteria, known as rhizobia, are important soil microorganisms. When legumes are incorporated into agricultural systems, it is important to make sure that a rhizobia strain is present that can associate with that specific legume. We are experts in strain selection, propagation, and packaging under strict quality assurance standards are your best assurances of superior nitrogen fixation and increased crop yields. In 1989, Rizobacter was the first company to develop liquid-based inoculants. This development proved to be a significant advance in seed treatment. Our inoculants contain strains that are scientifically selected for their specificity, infectivity, and effectiveness in biologically fixing nitrogen. Inoculants are usually marketed as a single product or in packs that combine the inoculant with a seed care product and a bacterial protector for seed treatment. It is this combination which heightens efficiency in inoculation, improves pathogen and pest control, and optimizes seed nutrition.
