Rhizobia are a natural way to achieve higher yields and improve soil fertility in legume cultivation. Thanks to their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, they support plant growth, reduce the need for mineral fertilization, and enhance the efficiency of crop rotation. Discover how this symbiosis works and how to effectively use inoculants in practice.

The beginning of stem elongation in cereals is not just the timing for the first fungicide treatment, but one of the most critical stages of the season. During this period, crops grow intensively and begin to build their yield potential. That’s why, alongside disease control, it is essential to support plant physiology, nutrition, and stability under stress conditions.

Early stem elongation (BBCH 29–31) marks the shift from winter survival to active crop performance. This is the moment when canopy structure, nutrient efficiency and disease protection begin shaping final yield. A strategic approach combining nitrogen support, silicon reinforcement, metabolic stimulation and targeted micronutrients helps secure resilience and productivity from the very start of stem extension.
