What are endophytes?<\/h2>\n

Endophytes are beneficial microbes that symbiotically live inside of plant tissues and play a vital role in plant health and nutrient acquisition. Intrinsyx Bio has developed sustainable agricultural products using endophytes discovered in nutrient poor and extreme environments. These endophytes fix atmospheric nitrogen directly into the plant, while increasing the availability and uptake of phosphorus and other nutrients important for plant health. Learn why it\u2019s so important to reduce our use of nitrogen fertilizers.<\/a><\/p>\n

How the science works<\/h2>\n

When Intrinsyx Bio products are applied as seed treatment, foliar, in-furrow, or granular formulations, the endophytes enter and colonize plants through cracks at lateral root junctions, as pictured below in fluorescent imaging.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
