The Itaka system is based on the principles of regenerative agriculture seen as the most suitable form of transition to sustainable agriculture.
The ITAKA System is based on knowledge of one’s land, the collection of reliable data on soil viability and the presence of pathogens.
The problem of greenhouse vegetable crops
In the pre-transplanting phase of greenhouse vegetable crops, the use of fumigant solutions or products with disinfectant action leaves a microbiological vacuum in the area where the new seedling will be set seed. This imbalance leads to soil fatigue and the development of the most risky pathogens for the crop: fusarium, suberose root, pithium, .
The solution to restore microbial activity
To restore microbial activity, a necessary condition for the proper functioning of the Soil-Plant system, it is necessary to rebalance the microbiome by bringing organic matter and microbial ingredients responsible for nutrient degradation and solubilization to the field.
These microorganisms are contained in MAXY SOIL:
- Bacteria of the genus such as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and velezensis are found to be useful in the degradation of organic matter, solubilization of P, Ca and production of phytohormones.
- Supplementation with Trichoderma harzianum and atrobrunneum optimizes soil regeneration and disease prevention actions.
- Mycorrhizae complement product performance by acting on root exploration and mineral adsorption.
What benefits do you get from Maxy Soil?
The benefits from using Maxy Soil are many.
- soils are revitalized by rebalancing the microbiome.
- soil fertility increases resulting in the development of the plant’s root system, increasing its absorptive power.
- the plant is healthier and plant production grows.
Application of Maxy Soil
MAXY SOIL is normally applied at times of biological void or maximum soil fatigue and then after fumigation or solarization and in situation of short production cycles. It is used in root application through fertigation, pre- or post-transplantation of the crop using at least 500 L water/ha.
The main crops are greenhouse or open field horticultural crops and fourth-range crops as they are intensive and require fertility care. For new fruit and vine plantings, MAXY SOIL should be applied in the hole at the time of transplanting.
Conclusions
MAXY SOIL acts on soil vitality and fertility in a natural way. It strengthens the microbiome by activating the Soil-Plant system. With MAXY SOIL, plants are more vigorous and healthier, require less intervention, and thus improve farm sustainability.
