Potentiation of soybean resistance against Phakopsora pachyrhizi infection using phosphite combined with free amino acids

Considering the importance of Asian soybean rust (ASR), caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi, in the decrease in soybean yield, this study investigated the potential of using phosphite combined with l-α-

Free amino acids (referred to as induced resistance [IR] stimulus hereafter) to boost defence responses of soybean plants against P. pachyrhizi infection. Plants were sprayed with water (control), acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) or IR stimulus and noninoculated or i...

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...

Physiological and biochemical insights into induced resistance on tomato against septoria leaf spot by a phosphite combined with free amino acids

Septoria leaf spot (SLS), caused by Septoria lycopersici, is a destructive disease in tomato. This study investigated the use of phosphite and potassium combined with L-α-free amino acids (named induced resistance (IR) stimulus), to boost tomato defense responses against S. lycopersici infection. Plants were sprayed with water or with the IR stimulus and challenged or not with S. lycopersici. Mycelial growth of S. lycopersici and conidia germinat...

Biostimulant influence on morphological and agrochemical characters in banana (Musa AAA cv. Williams)

Some of the limitations for plant acclimatization in vitro in banana cultivation have been poor rooting and slow leaf development, which affect survival in the field under stress conditions after planting. The aim of this study is to compare seedling response of Musa cv. Williams treated with biostimulants and commercial de-stressing agents. Thirty days after inoculation, pseudostem diameter (cm), fresh plant mass (g), fresh root mass (g), root number, soil-plant analysis developmen...

SinerJet®-Cu in the management of olive repilo

The SinerJet®-Cu product manufactured by Bioibérica S.A.U is a 5% organic solution of copper, easily assimilated, whose complexing agents are L-α-amino acids that facilitate the absorption and translocation of copper.

The efficacy of SinerJet®-Cu against the blackhead has been evaluated by its in vitro effect on the germination of the conidia and against the infection in inoculated seedlings and in olive trees in the field subjected to natural infection.
