Servalesa’s mycorrhiza-based product arrives on the market and revolutionizes it with its high spore content of this microorganism.
Soil contains life, and it is the organisms that live in it that make its natural fertility possible.
One of the challenges for agriculture is to continue to make strides in research in order to expand knowledge about these organisms and their interactions with soils. This research serves the development of new technologies to meet the current needs of agriculture.
The use of beneficial micro-organisms has emerged as a solution to the multiple problems faced by root systems due to their sustainable profile and beneficial action after application, which is also enhanced over time.
Mycorrhizae are part of this set of technologies that are now available to farmers and Servalesa, with MYCODRIP®, aims to continue to evolve and develop its catalogue with technology adapted to the needs of agriculture, positioning products with differential value and of course, with proven effectiveness.
WHAT ARE MYCORRHIZAE?
It is the symbiotic association between some soil fungi and plant roots, where both manage to benefit from this association. The fungus in turn provides the plant with minerals and water, while the plant provides the fungus with carbohydrates and vitamins for its optimal development.
HOW DOES MYCORRHISATION OCCUR?
The importance of spores should be emphasized. The process starts with the germination of spores that extend hyphae. These spores grow until they find and penetrate the host root: either through the epidermis or root hairs. Once inside, the hyphae spread between the cells forming arbuscules, where nutrient transfer occurs between the fungus and the plant.
Once internal colonization occurs, the mycelium (the set of hyphae) has the capacity to grow beyond the root system (as an extension), increasing significantly its absorption surface.

WHAT IS MYCODRIP®?
MYCODRIP® is a biofertilizer based on a high concentration of mycorrhizal fungal spores, produced under sterile conditions of the genus Rhizophagus spp. with a minimum of 4,000 spores/g, developed by Symbiom, Servalesa’s technological partner.
The mycorrhizal fungi have been previously extracted and isolated from soils with high salinity and alkaline pH to ensure the adaptability, resistance and effectiveness of the spores in soils under extreme conditions.
WHY IS THE HIGH CONCENTRATION OF SPORES IN MYCODRIP® NOTABLE?
The effectiveness of MYCODRIP® is based on the high concentration of spores, as these have a higher resistance in the soil and are the key to a higher rate of symbiosis with the root.
BENEFITS OF APPLYING MYCORRHIZAE
- Mycorrhized plants have the capacity to capture a greater amount of nutrients and water. This translates into optimized and more homogeneous root and vegetative development, even under less than optimal soil, water and nutrient conditions.
- Mycorrhized plants increase production, caliber and quality, in addition to providing them with a greater capacity to overcome stress phases.
- Mycorrhizal fungi stimulate root metabolism and compete with other soil fungi for space and nutrients.
- A larger root system will increase the tolerance of the crop to problems that may occur during the cycle.
