Key Features
Mycophyto leverages the symbiotic relationship between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which are integral to soil health. This relationship facilitates better water uptake, nutrient access, and stress resilience in plants. The AMF colonize plant roots, forming a network that extends the plant's reach into the soil, allowing it to access water and nutrients that would otherwise be unavailable.
By harnessing over 300 identified AMF species, Mycophyto has developed a line of products that not only support plant health but also contribute to sustainable farming practices. These products are formulated to meet the specific needs of different crops and growing conditions, ensuring optimal results. The use of diverse AMF species allows Mycophyto to address a wide range of environmental challenges and improve plant performance in various soil types.
Mycophyto's patented production system ensures consistent product quality and efficacy. This proprietary process allows for the large-scale production of high-quality AMF inoculants, making them accessible to farmers around the world. The company's commitment to innovation and continuous improvement ensures that its products remain at the forefront of agricultural technology.
Furthermore, Mycophyto is developing a unique predictive information system that combines biotechnology, big data, and artificial intelligence (AI). This system will provide farmers with real-time insights into soil health, plant performance, and environmental conditions, allowing them to make data-driven decisions that optimize crop yields and minimize input costs.
