MAFA BIOSCIENCE is a biotechnology company, specialized in the research, development, formulation, manufacture and marketing of products with low environmental impact for crop nutrition and protection. The company is focused on the search for innovative biotechnological solutions in accordance with the "Green Deal" strategy.

One of the keys to the company's strategy has been its commitment to research, development and innovation through the R&D department, and specifically, the microbiology laboratory and the fermentation plant. The main objective is to discover active ingredients of natural origin with biostimulating activity of the vital functions of the plant, or with preventive or curative activity against diseases caused by fungi/bacteria or phytopathogenic insects.

As for the speaker, Ignacio Villalba is a researcher in microbial biotechnology, with experience in the application of new technologies for the development of microbiological products applied to agriculture.

In his paper, "The application of gram negative bacteria for the optimization of the growth of horticultural crops", he will present the results obtained with the application of gram negative bacteria and their effect on the optimization of the growth of horticultural crops, explaining the action mechanisms of each route. The presentation will address how the application of gram negative bacteria can improve soil and plant health, increase resistance to diseases and improve the quality and quantity of horticultural crops.
