Transfers technology to develop agricultural bioestimulant Given the need to reduce dependence on artificial chemicals on different crops, scientists from the Center for Genomic Biotechnology (CBG) of the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, developed a technology to produce a bio-stimulant for agricultural crops based Azospirillum brasilense in bacteria. The new technology was granted by licensing the private sector for commercialization. The license granted by the Center for Genomic Biotechnology Biogea the company under the terms and conditions set forth in the contract, is non-transferable, non-exclusive, expensive, for the company to develop, promote, distribute and market a bioestimulante based on the IPN technology in national territory, the Deputy Director of Transfer of technology Development of the Technical Unit for Development and Business Competitiveness (UPDCE), maestro José de Jesús Hernández García. He said the IPN technology that receive Biogea for exploitation includes declarative way and not limiting strains of Azospirillum brasilense, identified with numbers NRRL B-30822, NRRL B-30875 and NRRL B-30876 (property of the Institute) and the production process thereof, formulation manuals, features, specifications and performance reports. The Knowledge Transfer Office (OTC) during the licensing process was responsible for integrating the technology package which was transferred to the company Biogea and performing the valuation of technology and its negotiations with the company, said García Hernández . Registration of the contract with the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) and monitoring of the established agreements are met will be made, will be in charge of the area of Valuation and Coordination Department Monitoring Project of the Legal Department of the UPDCE. The licensing process IPN technology to the development of a bio-stimulant of Azospirillum brasilense, was in a period of approximately 30 days, from the first meeting of approach to the signing of the license agreement. The commercial relationship established between the IPN and the company building Biogea not limited only to this licensing process, will seek to jointly participate in calls for obtaining resources to improve processes and products as well as pilot plants, said Hernández García. The creators of bioestimulante are Dr. Alberto Mendoza Herrera, head of the project; Maria Antonia Cruz Hernandez and Cuauhtemoc engineer Jacques teacher. The studies were conducted both in field and greenhouse where they showed a better development of the plant, but especially with increases in grain production that were of 15 to 20 percent. From this the CBG497, BV180 and BV181 strains were selected as the best, said Dr. Mendoza Herrera. He said that in the Interaction Plant-Microbe the CBG Laboratory is has a collection of isolates of Azospirillum brasilense in arid, which were evaluated in the production of the plant hormone (indole acetic acid), nitrogen and siderophores, among others, that allow choose the best three strains with potential use in the field. He indicated that inoculation of these strains could be a viable option for the production of maize and sorghum in Mexico economical alternative also be a productive option to gradually reduce the use of chemical fertilizers in these cultures and positively impact the physical and chemical characteristics soil and crop profitability. invdes.mx/tecnologia-mobil/6249-ipn-transfiere-tecnologia-para-elaborar-bioestimulante-agricola #TISARE #SETASDELCARIBE
