Since 2016 we have tested 407 different variants of Biomas microorganism technology. Bioversio bioengineers collaborate with three departments of the Lithuanian research centre for agriculture and forestry institute: Plant Nutrition and Agroecology, Plant Pathology and Protection, and Soil and Crop Production.

Microorganisms with target function
We perform dozens of tests annually since 2016 in the farms and the Lithuanian research centre for agriculture and forestry institute with Biomas microorganisms to monitor the impact on soil and productivity and health of crops. Even with the application of crop production methods that increase biodiversity – crop rotation, cultivation of catch crops, leaving plant residues, the benefits provided by microorganisms are significant. Please find the results below.
