Nursery experiments were carried out in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, to determine the effect of increasing rates of a kelp extract (StimplexTM), a commercial formulation of amino acids (Macro-Sorb RadicularTM) and a fertilizer (PhotogroTM = 2% N, 0.9% Zn and 0.9% B) on the in-nursery growth of ‘Orlando’ tangelo budded on ‘Cleopatra’ rootstock. Every two weeks, Stimplex and Macro-Sorb were applied to the soil and PhotogroTM was sprayed on the tangelo canopy. Untreated plants reached the ad...

Root development at the initial phases and settlement into a new environment can jeopardize future crop production and commercial quality. Inicium® is a totally natural product based on characterized peptides of low molecular weight with very high root activity that has been especially developed by the R D Departmen...

In the event of a fungal attack, the resistance or susceptibility of the plants to infection will depend on the magnitude and the speed of activation of their defense mechanisms. Optimus is a protein enzyme hydrolysate with phosphorus and has been specially designed by the Bi...

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...
