Key Takeaways:
- Rovensa Next has introduced Otimais Duo in Brazil, a dual-microbial inoculant combining Azospirillum brasilense Ab-V5 and Pseudomonas fluorescens BR14810 to enhance nutrient-use efficiency.
- The product was validated across 94 field trials in 10 crops across seven countries, demonstrating consistent yield improvements in maize and soybean.
- In maize, trials recorded an average yield increase of 1,302 kg per hectare, while soybean trials showed an average gain of 600 kg per hectare.
- Otimais Duo is designed to complement, not replace, conventional fertilization programs, performing best when used alongside mineral fertilizers.
- The launch is positioned within Rovensa Next's broader “Biosolutionize Agriculture” campaign, aimed at advancing sustainable and profitable crop management.
Rovensa Next Expands Biosolutions Portfolio With Otimais Duo in Brazil
Rovensa Next has announced the Brazilian launch of Otimais Duo, a dual-microbial inoculant developed to improve nutrient-use efficiency and support consistent productivity gains across a range of crops.
Dual-Microbial Technology at Its Core
Otimais Duo combines two microbial strains: Azospirillum brasilense Ab-V5, which fixes atmospheric nitrogen biologically, and Pseudomonas fluorescens BR14810, which solubilizes phosphorus and promotes plant growth through phytohormone production. Together, these microorganisms stimulate enzymatic pathways — including acid phosphatase and nitrate reductase — to increase nutrient availability and uptake.
“As growers seek greater efficiency from every input, biological solutions are becoming central to modern crop nutrition. Otimais Duo has been developed within this context as a science-based tool designed to enhance the performance of conventional fertilization programs,” said Victor Sonzogno, Head of Brazil at Rovensa Next.
