Microbiome: invisible heroes revolutionising modern agriculture

A commitment to sustainability

On World Microbiome Day, it is important to reflect on the progress made in the field of the microbiome as well as its impact on agriculture. Khalid Akdi, CEO of TRICHODEX®, gives us exciting insight into how his company is leading this biotech revolution: “The microbiome is the key to sustainable agriculture. Understanding and harnessing the power of these microorganisms enables us to address global challenges effectively and responsibly. At TRICHODEX®, we are proud to be part of this revolution”.

On World Microbiome Day, we emphasise the importance of these small but powerful allies in agriculture. Thanks to innovative companies like TRICHODEX®, the future of agriculture is brighter and more sustainable than ever.

A journey of innovation

TRICHODEX® has come a long way since its start more than 30 years ago. With a clear vision of becoming a benchmark in agricultural biotechnology, the company has taken on an innovative approach that combines science and sustainability. “Our mission has always focused on improving soil health and crop productivity,” says Akdi. “Integrating the microbiome concept marked a turning point for us”.

The science of the microbiome

The microbiome, that invisible universe of microorganisms that interact with plants, is at the heart of innovation at TRICHODEX®. Rather than studying microorganisms separately, the company focuses on microbial consortia, communities that work in synergy to improve plant health. “Understanding how these microorganisms collaborate with each other and with plants allows us to develop more effective products,” explains Akdi.

Facing the challenges of climate change

One of the major challenges in agriculture today is drought. As climate change alters weather patterns and reduces water availability, finding sustainable solutions is key. This is where TRICHODEX® biotechnology stands out. “We have developed technologies that allow plants to better resist water stress,” states Akdi enthusiastically. “Our biostimulant and bioprotective products contain microorganisms that improve the ability of plants to retain water and increase their resistance to stress”.

Merger with Grupo Fertiberia

The integration of TRICHODEX® into Grupo Fertiberia represents a significant step towards consolidating its leadership in the market. “Since July 2022, we have strengthened our position and capabilities, as well as expanded our solutions portfolio,” says Akdi. This merger has not only allowed for greater innovation, but it has also ensured greater adaptation and resilience to current agricultural challenges.

Practical applications for farmers

For farmers, microbiome biotechnology is not just a theory, but a transformative practice. Akdi shares specific examples of how TRICHODEX® products are making a difference in the field. “In situations of drought, beneficial microorganisms improve soil structure and facilitate better access to water resources,” he explains. “This not only helps plants survive, but also optimises the use of water, an increasingly scarce resource”.

Looking towards the future

The future of agriculture depends on biotechnology and the microbiome. “We are committed to continuous research and development,” affirms Akdi. “Our goal is to continue innovating and providing sustainable solutions that benefit both farmers and the environment”.

On World Microbiome Day, we celebrate the progress and commitment of companies like TRICHODEX®, which are leading the way towards more sustainable and resilient agriculture. With its focus on the microbiome, TRICHODEX® not only improves agricultural productivity but also contributes to a more sustainable and healthy future for all.
