Increased Exopolysaccharide Production
We focus on bacterial species and strains with high EPS-producing potential, unlocking a wide range of benefits. A robust and healthy EPS supports soil structure, nutrient retention, and overall plant resilience.
- EPS acts as a natural binding agent, holding soil particles together to form aggregates.
- Aggregates improve soil aeration, drainage, and water infiltration.
- Stable aggregates contribute to better soil structure, which is essential for root development and nutrient uptake.
- EPS can increase soil water retention, making the soil more resistant to drought stress.
- EPS helps protect plants from salinity by restricting sodium uptake and improving soil aggregation.
- EPS can also help regulate water fluctuations in the soil, providing a more stable environment for plant growth.
- EPS can trap and slow down the release of nutrients, making them more available to plants.
- EPS can also enhance the uptake of nutrients by plants through mechanisms like phosphorus solubilization.
- EPS can improve the efficiency of fertilizer use by reducing nutrient losses through leaching.
- Improved soil structure, water retention, and nutrient availability all contribute to enhanced plant growth and development.
- EPS can also stimulate plant growth by providing a more favorable environment for microbial activity.
- EPS can protect plants from pathogens and diseases by enhancing plant immunity.
- EPS can improve the ability of the soil to adsorb heavy metals, reducing their availability to plants.
- EPS can also help to maintain soil pH and other important soil properties.
