Effects of a Biostimulant on the Heat Tolerance Associated with Photosynthetic Capacity, Membrane Thermostability, and Polyphenol Production of Perennial Ryegrass
January 2007
Scientific articles | Terra-Sorb®
Physiological responses of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) treated with or without Macro-Sorb Foliar (FOLIAR) and subjected to optimal growing conditions or high air temperature stress (20, 28, and 36ºC) were investigated in vivo using three separate growth chamber experiments
Effects of the Application of Amino Acids in Drip Irrigation in Olive Trees

Posters | Terra-Sorb®
Olive trees are subject to several types of environmental stress due to their area of distribution (Mediterranean climate). For this reason, olive trees are resistant and are adapted to dry conditions and extreme heat, and have traditionally required little management by olive growers. However, the recent and increasingly widespread application of technology to olive growing (e.g., fertigation) has led to increased advantage being taken of the genetic potential of the tree, which had been re...
Growth Regulator Activity of Macro-Sorb® Foliar in Vitro
October 2005
Scientific articles | Terra-Sorb®
In vitro growth responses elicited by separated fractions of Macro-Sorb Foliar© (FOLIAR), a common biostimulant applied to golf course turfgrasses, were investigated using two bioassays specific and sensitive to auxin or cytokinin. Auxin responses were tested using the Avena (oat) first internode straight growth bioassay using increasing concentrations of indole-3-acetic acid as an internal standard. Cytokinin responses were tested using the Raphanus (radish) cotyledon expansion bioassay, w...
Amino Acids as Elicitors: a Way to Increase Plant Stress-Tolerance
May 2005
Scientific articles | Terra-Sorb®
Several amino-acids are currently used in U.S. horticulture: gibberelic acids, auxines, cytokinins, etc. , mostly as inhibitors. In the last decade, amino acids biostimulants use increased because of their ability to improve the overall plant’s health, including better stress tolerance, reports Gordon Kauffman. The validity of these biostimulants as a positive growth regulator/stress tolerance enhancer has been primarily based on testimonials.
