Sustainable farming
from Inácio Modesto Filho (Agricultural director of Bom Futuro Agricola Ltda)
Using natural auxiliaries like bacteria and fungi increases the enzymatic activity of the soil. Thus, biological activity is strengthened and improved. The environmental quality is maintained, the health of humans, plants and animals is encouraged and the production of cereals, fibres (cotton), meat, wood etc is improved.
Around 2008, Bom Futuro Agrícola Ltda started to use bacteria and fungi. In the first step we only converted part of the farm to check productivity and to get valid results.
Our knowledge about the technologies for the use of biological auxiliaries increased over the years and in 2019 we built a ”bioreactor factory“ that produces the following biological auxiliaries for the whole farm:
The cultivated area of Bom Futuro Agrícola Ltda consists of:
Bom Futuro Agrícola Ltda also uses root growth stimulators and chemical nematicides to improve the range of nematode management. According to our current state of knowledge, the interaction of biological and chemical products seems to be optimum.
