Regenerative agriculture is one of the most important trends today, responding to the need for more sustainable practices that not only maintain but improve soil health, biodiversity, and the resilience of agricultural ecosystems. This approach focuses on mimicking natural processes, regenerating soil ecosystems to increase fertility, enhance crop yields, and mitigate the effects of climate change.
Soil Health: A Pillar of Regenerative Agriculture
Soil health is key to the success of any agricultural system. As soils degrade due to excessive use of chemical fertilisers and intensive farming practices, their ability to retain nutrients and water is reduced, negatively affecting crop production. Healthy soils are essential for maintaining a proper structure, allowing the circulation of air and water, and providing a favourable environment for roots and beneficial microorganisms.
At AgriTecno, we use advanced technologies such as Agriful, a biostimulant designed to improve soil structure and promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms. Agriful contains humic and fulvic acids, which increase soil aggregate stability, allowing better oxygen circulation and greater water retention. This biostimulant also helps increase the availability of nutrients by solubilising phosphates that would otherwise be inaccessible to plants.
Prebiotics for Soil: Maximising Biodiversity
The use of prebiotics in agriculture is an effective strategy to increase soil biodiversity. These organic compounds promote the development of beneficial microorganisms that enhance soil fertility and structure, leading to greater plant growth. Agriful acts as a prebiotic that nourishes these microorganisms, facilitating root colonisation and boosting their ability to solubilise essential nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus.
Tecamin Raíz: Strengthening Roots and Adapting to Stress
Another key component of our product line is Tecamin Raíz, a biostimulant based on amino acids and trace elements specifically designed to promote root system development. Tecamin Raíz improves water and nutrient uptake, strengthening roots and helping plants better adapt to abiotic stress, such as salinity, droughts, and extreme cold.
Transcriptomic studies conducted on Tecamin Raíz have shown that it activates genes related to root growth and elongation, resulting in greater water and nutrient absorption. Additionally, this biostimulant contains trace elements like boron, copper, and zinc, which are essential for cell division and root development, and also enhances nitrogen-use efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions about Regenerative Agriculture
What is regenerative agriculture?
Regenerative agriculture is a farming approach that seeks not only to preserve but to regenerate soil ecosystems. Through sustainable practices, it promotes biodiversity and improves soil health, leading to increased fertility and crop productivity while also mitigating the effects of climate change.
How can soil be regenerated?
Soil regeneration is achieved through practices such as crop rotation, composting, and the use of biostimulants like Agriful and Tecamin Raíz. These products help improve soil structure, increase water and nutrient retention, and promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms, restoring soil fertility naturally.
Sustainable Agriculture: A Regenerative Future
Adopting regenerative agricultural practices, combined with the use of biostimulants like Agriful and Tecamin Raíz, allows farmers to regenerate soil health, improve crop resilience, and increase production sustainably. At AgriTecno, we are committed to creating biotechnological solutions that not only enhance crop yields but also contribute to the long-term sustainability of the agricultural ecosystem.
