Project description

The objective of the project is to obtain and use of growth-promoting phosphorus solubilizing rhizobacteria in new products that can be deployed in Flemish cultivation systems.
The target group includes the full valorization chain for development and application of biofertilizer. These are developers of functional microbial, preparation, seed-treaters, producers of cultivation substrates, fertilizer manufacturers, suppliers, practice centers and sector federations. In Flanders this includes about 70 companies.
