BioSam has developed a novel fungal inoculation technology that significantly enhances phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) uptake in crops by combining proprietary endophytic fungi with standard phosphate fertilizers such as MAP, DAP, SSP, and TSP. This co-application improves root development, stimulates microbial activity, and increases the bioavailability of key nutrients, resulting in higher concentrations of P, N, and vital microelements like Fe, S, Ca, Cu, Na, and Mn in plant tissues. Our research has demonstrated that integrating our proprietary endophytic fungi with these fertilizers leads to remarkable improvements in nutrient absorption and utilization. The endophytes promote root development, increase microbial activity in the rhizosphere, and enhance the bioavailability of nutrients — resulting in significantly higher P and N content in plant tissues. This technology not only boosts crop performance but also contributes to more sustainable and efficient fertilizer use, reducing waste and field yield.

BioSam’s technology has been developed with a strong emphasis on delivering tangible economic benefits to farmers. According to a widely recognized rule of thumb in agriculture, farmers are most likely to adopt new technologies if they deliver a return on investment (ROI) of 3 to 5 times. This means that for every dollar spent, the technology must generate $3 to $5 in added value through yield improvement, cost savings, or other measurable benefits. BioSam’s biostimulant product, priced at approximately $25 per hectare, is designed to meet and exceed this threshold. Based on semi-field test results, our solution has consistently demonstrated the potential to increase crop yields in a way that translates into an economic gain of $75 to $125 per hectare. This corresponds directly to a 3x to 5x ROI for farmers, making BioSam’s solution not only agronomically effective but also economically compelling.

Preliminary data suggest that BioSam’s microbial inoculant can help reduce nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions, a potent greenhouse gas commonly released from conventional fertilizer use. BioSam BasidioBoost application at a 60-day period trials using the same plant cultivar indicate a meaningful reduction in N2O emissions. This decrease is likely due to the enhanced microbial symbiosis promoted by BioSam’s formulation, which supports improved nitrogen uptake by plants and a more gradual release of nutrients. These effects help limit excess nitrogen in the soil, reducing the availability of substrates for denitrifying bacteria that produce N₂O.

The agricultural industry is ripe for sustainable solutions.
