This innovation represents a significant milestone in our research, with a direct impact on sustainable agriculture and crop resilience in the face of climate and environmental challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A natural and effective solution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biostimulant developed by our team has been carefully studied and tested on different vegetable crops, such as tomatoes and lettuce, and on cereals, such as rice. The results obtained demonstrate the potential of this technology:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Greater development in the early stages of crops<\/strong>, This promotes more vigorous and healthy starts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Increased productivity<\/strong>, This is evidenced by greater fresh biomass in lettuce and greater fruit production in tomatoes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Proven molecular responses<\/strong>, with analyses confirming the activation of genes associated with plant responses to different types of abiotic stress.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These results reinforce the effectiveness of the <em>Bacillus velezensis<\/em> as a natural biostimulation tool, capable of boosting crop performance and contributing to more sustainable agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>From the lab to the field<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This patent is another step in InPP's commitment to developing innovative, sustainable biotechnological solutions with industrial applicability. The aim is clear: to support farmers and companies in the sector in meeting the challenges of crop productivity, quality and resilience, in an era when agriculture needs sustainable, high-impact responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>We are looking for strategic partnerships<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are currently looking for new partnerships with companies and entities in the agricultural sector to take this technology from the laboratory to the field. We believe that collaboration is the key to turning scientific innovation into practical solutions that benefit the entire agricultural value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you're interested in learning more about this technology or exploring opportunities for collaboration, talk to us. Together we can drive a more productive, resilient and sustainable agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Innovate <strong>together<\/strong>.
