Demonstrative macrotrials to evaluate the use of SinerJet®-Cu as an efficient copper solution in the management of repilo in olive groves

Copper compounds are effective in controlling the main leaf and fruit diseases in the olive tree, being repilo one of the most widespread and with the highest level of affectation.

Currently, however, the European Union has established a limitation on the amount of copper to be applied per hectare and year, which has motivated the search for alternative active materials to copper or formulations with a low content of this element.

The SinerJet®-Cu product manufactured by Bio...

Application of an Enzymatic Hydrolysed L-α-Amino Acid-Based Biostimulant to Improve Sunflower Tolerance to Imazamox

Herbicides, commonly used in agriculture to control weeds, often cause negative effects on crops. Safeners are applied to reduce the damage to crops without affecting the effectiveness of herbicides against weeds. Plant biostimulants have the potential to increase tolerance to a series of abiotic stresses, but very limited information exists about their effects on herbicide-stressed plants.

This study aims to verify whether the application of a potential safener such as Terra-Sorb®,...

Effect of L-amino acid-based biostimulants on nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in lettuce plants

BACKGROUND: Biostimulants are increasingly integrated into production systems with the goal of modifying physiological processes in plants to optimize productivity. Specifically, L-α-amino acid-based biostimulants enhance plant productivity through improved photosynthesis and increased assimilation of essential nutrients such as nitrogen (N). This element is a major component of fertilizers, which usually are applied in excess. Thus, the inefficient use of N fertilizers has generated a seri...

Influence of a new biostimulant on flowering, fructificationd and yield in coffee

One of the limitations that have been presented in the cultivation of coffee in the Central American region have been climatic variables, in which high temperatures, together with ultraviolet light levels, as well as rainfall and its intensity, have caused serious problems for the development of the crop. There are physiological imbalances that cause losses in stimulation and flower setting, reaching losses of more than 60% depending on the variety. The objective of this work was to evaluate...

Agronomic and genetic study of the promoting effect of Equilibrium® on fruit set and fruit development in tomato.

The flowering and fruit set is one of the most sensitive and critical phenological stages for the productive development of the crop, especially if some stress factor is involved that can unbalance the plant and negatively affect fruit set. The state of health and nutritional balance of the plant will also determine the capacity of retention of fruits that the vegetable will be able to develop later. Organic biostimulants, such as amino acids or algae extracts, have been used for years preci...
