OP BIOTECH promotes microbial solutions to increase crop tolerance to water scarcity

The OP BIOTECH project continues to advance the development of innovative strategies based on the use of beneficial bacteria to strengthen crop resistance to water stress. This line of research focuses on harnessing the potential of certain microorganisms in the soil and rhizosphere to improve the physiological behavior of plants under drought conditions.

In a context marked by climate change and increasing episodes of water scarcity, OP BIOTECH is investigating how these bacteria can contribute to improving nutrient absorption, optimizing water use, and activating natural defense mechanisms in crops. The aim is to reduce the negative impact of drought on the yield and stability of agricultural production.

Through trials and validation processes, the project evaluates the effectiveness of these biotechnological solutions as a sustainable and complementary alternative to traditional agronomic practices. The progress achieved lays the groundwork for their future application under real-world growing conditions, offering farmers and technicians innovative tools to adapt to increasingly demanding climate scenarios.

With this commitment to biotechnology and innovation, OP BIOTECH reinforces its contribution to a more resilient, sustainable agriculture prepared to face current and future environmental challenges, promoting more efficient production systems that respect natural resources.
