Inoculant for soybeans
Fortuna is a liquid inoculant formulated with Bradyrhizobium japonicum SEMIA 5080 (CPAC 7) and Bradyrhizobium elkanii SEMIA 587. These bacteria were selected and adapted to act effectively in the Cerrado biome. They act directly on biological nitrogen fixation and help promote plant growth. Thus, by making plants healthier, they help with resistance to environmental stress and promote root development. The use of these microorganisms together reduces nitrogen fertilizer costs and increases productivity. The liquid formulation makes inoculation more flexible and can be done either via furrow or seed treatment.
Bean inoculant
Pretorian is a liquid inoculant formulated with Rhizobium tropici. This bacteria acts directly in the biological fixation of nitrogen and helps promote plant growth. Thus, by making plants healthier, they help with resistance to environmental stress and promote root development. The use of these microorganisms together reduces nitrogen fertilizer costs and increases productivity. The liquid formulation makes inoculation more flexible and can be done either via furrow or seed treatment.
About Itatijuca
Using microorganisms to change the world!
Itatijuca Biotech is a company that masters the use of microorganisms in industrial processes. Our objective is to transform processes through the use of these microorganisms to make them more productively efficient, achieving greater financial returns and reducing environmental impact. This is the result of having a team of doctors specialized in transforming Research & Development (R&D) of products that are operationally easy to manipulate.
From this objective and differential, our mission arose, to be a catalyst for wealth in industrial processes. And in line with this, Itatijuca is currently structured into the following three sectors to apply its expertise: Mining, Agroindustry and Industrial Solutions.

Tristan - Bacillus thuringiensis Biological Insecticide
TRISTAN is a biological insecticide composed of the bacteriaBacillus thuringiensis. This bacteria, through the production of crystals or prototoxins, causes irreversible damage to the intestine of insects, leading to death. It acts on several groups of insects from theLepidoptera. The use of Tristan will drastically reduce the action of pests as its formulation guarantees greater dispersion and retention of the active ingredient in the selected target, leading to greater effectiveness of action.
