Alginate microparticles loaded with biofertilizers and macro- or micronutrients for agroecological production

The use of agrochemicals in agriculture had substantial repercussions for the environment, food security as well as human health because some of them are persistent organic pollutants. To diminish the overall exposure to agrochemicals that may end up in the environment, the worldwide intention is the restriction of their use and application of environmentally friendly systems like biofertilizers and/or biopesticides (pesticides derived from natural materials). Biofertilizer formulations usually contain a living microorganism (bacteria, fungi) and a suitable carrier together with additives. Efficient formulation demands a carrier material which must preserve or maintain living organisms in a viable condition during storage and transport as well as must keep its functional properties after application. Encapsulation in microparticles (microspheres/microcapsules) is an advanced technology which is superior to other formulations in terms of living organism protection from the environment, improvement of their viability and possibility of controlled release into the field.
