AKAX® Core: scientific innovation at the service of crops

Development of AKAX® Core bioestimulant has focused on four arenas:

1. Extensive knowledge of its composition, from porcine intestinal mucosa, and its biological power.
   
   
2. Evidence of its effects in greenhouse conditions on biometrics, physiological behaviour, biochemical responses and elicitor effect on pathogen attacks.
   
   
3. Research into the mechanisms of action induced by using AKAX® Core using transcriptomics and biochemical reaction techniques.
   
   
4. Agricultural development focusing on its effect on crops, both in terms of production yield and quality of the harvest, antioxidants and the rhizosphere.

However, we haven’t done this on our own; we are committed to working with cutting-edge research and technology centres around the world, such as:

Wageningen University and Research (WUR), one of the top institutes in the world in agricultural, environmental and food sciences. WUR is particularly renowned for being on the cutting edge of scientific innovation related to sustainable agriculture, climate change and global health, making it a global benchmark in the field of agriculture.

CEU San Pablo University, through the Plant-Microbiome Interaction Group (Plant Physiology Area) whose research focuses on studying the plant microbiome and how it interacts with the plant, specifically how the community of microbes in the roots influences the plant’s ability to adapt to biotic and abiotic stress.

This group has worked on projects related to the use of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) to boost soil fertility and plant health, as well as collaborating with various institutions and companies to validate their research.

This approach has led to projects with a strong transfer vocation for the agricultural industry.

Biome Makers, an agtech start-up founded in Silicon Valley in 2015 that has developed a database with more than 24 million taxonomic references of soil micro-organisms. Biome Makers combines mass sequencing tools and artificial intelligence to connect soil biology with agricultural decision-making, optimising crops and reversing global deterioration of agricultural land.

I would like to finish off this post with an important message for today’s agricultural professionals: AKAX® Core was created using science to provide a reliable commitment to sustainability and crop efficacy, through precision biostimulation (precise solutions to specific problems).
