Scientific articles | Cera-Trap®
The efficacy of CeraTrap (CT), a specifically developed enzymatic hydrolyzed protein, was evaluated against standard mass trapping (STD mass trapping) and standard chemical treatments (Chemical STD) with field trials carried out in citrus orchards assessing medfly captures and punctured fruit. Field trials were conducted on susceptible mandarin trees (Citrus reticulata cv. Esbal), orange trees (Citrus sinensis cv. Washington Navel) and clementine trees (Citrus clementina cv. Oronules) in Mor...

Scientific articles | Terra-Sorb®
The flag leaf is the most important source of carbohydrate during wheat kernel filling. Around a 75% of all sugars stored in the kernel come from carbon fixed by this leaf. Previous studies have shown that application of Terra-Sorb ® foliar, an L-α-amino acid-based product from enzymatic hydrolysis with a high ratio of free-to-total amino acids, increases plant photosynthetic activity and chlorophyll content, promotes rapid recovery from stress and improves fruit set. In this work,...

Scientific articles | StresSal®
In order to evaluate the physiological changes that determine the tolerance to salinity induced by StresSal, and to learn as much as possible about the mechanism of action of the product, we carried out an experiment in a growing chamber on tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum) that developed with different levels of salinity (50, 100 and 150mM NaCl). The aim of the study was to examine the response of the plants in the short-to-medium term, more related to the osmotic effect due to the re...

Scientific articles | Cera-Trap®
Field trials were conducted on sensitive mandarin trees (Citrus reticulate cv. Beatriz and Oronules) and fig trees (Ficus carica cv. Colar) in Tarragona, Alicante and Murcia (Spain) to assess the effectiveness of an enzymatic hydrolyzed specifically developed protein (Cera Trap®) against the Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly) Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera Tephritidae). The efficacy of Cera Trap (CT) was evaluated against standard farm control strategies (mass trapping or chemical tr...

Scientific articles | Optimus®
Diseases caused by fungal pathogens represent one of the biggest agricultural problems worldwide in terms of economic losses due to reduced yield and the cost of treatment with fungicides used to control these diseases. 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...
