Advances and challenges in the use of biological agents will be the topic of a lecture at the X Abisolo Forum and Exhibition

The Brazilian Association of Plant Nutrition Technology Industries (Abisolo) promotes the X Abisolo Forum and Exhibition on June 05th and 06th, in Campinas (SP). The event will feature the participation of professor from the Federal Technological University of Paraná (UTFPR), Sérgio Mazaro (in the photo), who will address the theme “Advances and challenges in the use of biological agents” on June 06th, at 11:30 am.

Mazaro will highlight the challenges in the rational and effective use of biological inputs, which require a precise understanding of the area of ​​application and more assertive interventions. “To find solutions to these challenges, I listed the seven pillars for success with the use of biologicals. In my talk, I will present these pillars in a practical way, illustrating them with application cases in different cultures and locations”, explains Mazaro.

Mazaro will mention advances in the industry in terms of quality and formulation specificity of biological inputs, but will also address the persistent problems that often lead to the inefficient use of these microorganisms by producers. “Despite the advances, we still face many challenges. In the lecture, I will discuss what these advances were and how the industry has improved in terms of quality and formulation”, concludes the professor.

The event will feature four thematic panels

The X Abisolo - Forum and Exhibition program is divided into four panels. On November 05th, the first day of the event, the opening panel will be dedicated to the theme “Business environment and competitiveness”, considering the international competitiveness of agribusiness, legal security, business environment, sustainability of Brazilian agricultural production and the market for carbon.

On the 06th, the morning program will resume with the third panel, dedicated to showing the “Technological evolution of the sector”. This panel will present recent scientific research on topics related to the physiological aspects of foliar absorption; interaction between mineral nutrition and plant disease; the mitigation of abiotic stress and nutrient-solubilizing microorganisms.

The fourth and final panel of the event will be dedicated to Market Intelligence, when the potential for adopting the use of special fertilizers in crops will be presented: soybeans, corn and sugar cane.
