Organic biostimulants: an approach to their characterization and management within an integrated, sustainable and competitive agricultural strategy

The following article shows the results of an exhaustive comparative study of both analytical characterization and agronomic efficacy of 4 biostimulant products from different sources of raw material (animal and plant origin) and methods of production (chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis). Regarding the analytical characterization, the results show a greater degree of hydrolysis and a more complete and balanced amino acid profile of the Terra-Sorb® biostimulant compared to other products of plant origin and chemical hydrolysis. The high degree of racemization of biostimulants of plant origin is also indicative that at some point in the process there has been a chemical treatment (acid hydrolysis) while the Terra-Sorb® product (enzymatic hydrolysis) is the only one that maintains a high proportion of L-α-amino acids. On the other hand, in the comparison of the agronomic efficacy carried out under a test model in pepper and saline stress, it becomes clear how the variable quality depending on the origin and method of obtaining determines the agronomic efficacy of the amino-based biostimulants. The test reveals how the highest productive yield of the Terra-Sorb® biostimulant in saline conditions is due to the free amino acid content of the product and not to a simple nitrogen supply. In addition, equating application doses according to the percentage of free amino acids, it is revealed that other bioactive compounds of the Terra-Sorb® product would enhance this greater tolerance to stress observed in the treated plants.

Amino acids obtained through enzymatic hydrolysis from selected protein sources have a greater biostimulant effect, according to a study by Bioiberica Plant Health

• The study compares four different biostimulants and analyses the origin of their ingredients and the method the L-α amino acids are obtained
• This paper will be presented at the Biostimulants World Congress in Barcelona 18-21 November
• Bioibérica will have a stand in the exhibitors area and will present its range of biostimulants and tailored solutions for the formulation

Bioiberica to have an active participation in the 4thBiostimulants World Congress, held in Barcelona in November 2019

• Our company will be present at the exhibitors’ area with their own booth, where they will showcase their eco-friendly solutions for plant stress and improvement of agronomical strategies in plant protection.
• The Biostimulants World Congress is the most important international event in biostimulants, and is to be attended by more than 750 companies from 60 countries.

Bioiberica - Plant Health launches web dedicated to plant stress and biological control of pests

• This new online asset offers information on technology, products and scientific publications of this Bioibérica business unit
• Replaces and concentrates in a single space, different webs that, until now, coexisted separately
• With a more modern and usable style, and a totally responsive design seeks a more direct communication with customers

Significant increase in almond production with Terra-Sorb® organic

Below you can find the data of a field trial in almonds with Terra-Sorb® organic, the new eco-friendly biostimulant by Bioiberica, in which we assessed its effect on production:

Bioiberica launches Terra-Sorb® Organic, a new biostimulant concentrate for organic production

• Terra-Sorb® Organic is an amino-acid based product that boosts resistance and recovery in crops under stress
• The new formulation is certified by ECOCERT as a product for use in Organic Farming and expands the company's range of ecological products
• Spain is the leading country in the EU in organic crop areas, covering 18% of total crop land

Upcoming congresses in red berries and hedge olive cultivation - coming events for Bioiberica Plant Physiology

The III International Congress in Red Fruits and the first International Symposium in Hedge Olive Cultivation are the most relevant events in plant physiology to be held in the month of June.
The Terrasorb® amino acid-based range of products for plant stress will be key in both venues.

Terra-Sorb®, 30 years relieving crop stress

In 1987, Terra-Sorb® started its commercialisation in Spain. It was the first branded product sold by Bioiberica, which at that moment was only producing active ingredients for the pharmacy industry.
