To celebrate the launch of its new biological seed treatment, Unium Bioscience hosted an educational evening on endophytes in collaboration with BOFIN.

In this webinar you’ll hear from leading experts in endophyte research; Prof James F White, who discovered the rhizophagy cycle, and Prof Sharon Doty, who discovered endophytes that fix nitrogen and sequester phosphorus.

Firstly, you’ll hear about their research and then the soil microbiome experts are joined by farmer and agroecology consultant Ben Taylor-Davies in a no-holds-barred discussion about the potential and limitations of endophytes.
