Amid a growing need for sustainable agricultural practices, Biopron, an innovative biofertilizer, offers a transformative solution for optimizing fertilization and improving yields in large-scale crops in Morocco. This includes cereals such as wheat and maize, as well as oilseeds like rapeseed and sunflower. Developed with a formula of live microorganisms like Azospirillum brasilense and Pantoea dispersa, Biopron allows farmers to tap into the soil’s available nutrients and sustainably enhance both the quantity and quality of their harvests.

Biopron and Strengthening the Soil Microbiome

A key benefit of Biopron is its ability to balance and enhance microbial activity within the soil.

“Biopron’s contribution to the soil microbiome transforms the root environment, fixing atmospheric nitrogen and solubilizing blocked nutrients like phosphorus, potassium, and calcium. These are essential for proper crop establishment, improved root development, and balanced plant growth from the earliest stages”, explains Juan Manuel López Martínez, CTO of Probelte.

Thanks to its high concentration of live, carefully selected microorganisms and its innovative granule impregnation technology, Biopron ensures a slow release of beneficial microbes into the soil throughout the crop cycle.

The active bacteria in Biopron significantly reduce the need for chemical fertilizers typically applied during cereal sowing. This, in turn, lowers the salt input into the soil, improving its structure and maintaining a healthier microbial balance. This approach is crucial for Moroccan farmers seeking sustainable agricultural practices that reduce dependence on conventional chemical fertilizers.

Biopron enables crops to efficiently utilize nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) already present in the soil. The microorganisms in Bioprón fix atmospheric nitrogen, transforming it into nitrate and ammonium through enzymes like nitrogenase. They also solubilize blocked soil phosphorus, making it available to plants, and unlock other essential nutrients like iron, calcium, and magnesium.

“The nutritional balance achieved by Bioprón leads to stronger plants, improved heading, optimal grain filling, and higher-quality harvests”, adds López Martínez.

Adapting Biopron to Morocco’s agricultural conditions

Bioprón has proven effective in Morocco’s large-scale rainfed and irrigated crops. Trials are also underway on cannabis crops using drip irrigation systems. For cereals and oilseeds, the results in Morocco are expected to mirror those seen in similar conditions in Spain, Southern Europe, Egypt, and Mexico. With proper technical support, Moroccan farmers can customize Bioprón’s application to suit their specific needs, optimizing its use in alignment with local practices.

Extensive trials conducted over 15 years on wheat and barley in various Spanish regions have demonstrated Biopron’s ability to improve nutrient efficiency. In these studies, a single application of Bioprón at sowing, tailored to each crop’s specific dosage, increased productivity by 10% to 20% compared to conventional fertilization methods.

“The strategy is to replace chemical base fertilization with Biopron while maintaining top-dressing nitrogen applications according to the expected yield,” López Martínez explains.

These results suggest that using Biopron in Morocco’s large-scale crops can significantly enhance productivity while ensuring soil sustainability.

Biopron: A holistic solution for Moroccan agriculture

With over 20 years of experience in applied biotechnology and a focus on innovative solutions, Probelte offers Bioprón as a biofertilizer tailored to the needs of Morocco’s large-scale crops. By promoting nutrient utilization and strengthening the soil microbiome, Biopron provides farmers with an essential tool to maximize yields while preserving the environment and its resources.

Biopron represents Probelte’s commitment to agriculture that delivers high yields without compromising sustainability. In Morocco, where agriculture is a cornerstone of the economy and society, this biofertilizer emerges as a valuable asset to improve the productivity of large-scale crops and foster environmentally responsible farming practices.
