Product Tests
Product Efficiency Tests
Issuance of reports on the efficiency of formulated products or microorganisms in the biological control of diseases and in promoting plant growth of different cultures.
Compatibility Tests
Studies on the compatibility of Microbiologicals with different management strategies (agrochemicals and other microbiologicals).
Mechanisms of action used by biological control agents
Tests to understand whether the mechanisms involved in the biological control are through parasitism, predation, antibiosis, competition or resistance induction. In addition to the quantification of enzymes produced by microorganisms, such as chitinases, proteases and lipases.
Mechanisms of action used by plant growth promoting microorganisms
Tests to identify wheter the mechanisms are involved in the promotion of plant growth by a given microorganism are through nutrient solubilization/mineralization, atmospheric n2 fixation or production of plant hormones.
