Boron (B) is one of the seven essential micronutrients for the proper growth of most plants, as it promotes proper cell division and expansion. It is also involved in the formation of the cell walls, pollination, blossoming, seed production, translocation of sugars to the roots, regulation of hormone levels and many other highly important processes. Due to its key role, an adequate supply of this micronutrient might mark the difference between an average harvest and an excellent one.

Field Experience | Vine & grape
Grape variants commonly known as table grapes are considered tastier, having a generally lower sugar content which makes them ideal for fresh consumption.

Field Experience | Vine & grape
The grapevine buds blossom during the last months of winter and early spring. In certain regions there is a physical stress caused by the cold and/or mechanical stress caused by hail. Abiotic stress during vegetative growth may cause a notable decrease in yield. In the study below, we give details on how the use of Terra-Sorb™ in two field trials might be of great use to mitigate the negative effect of abiotic stress caused by cold and hail.

Potassium is one of the most important macronutrients in vineyards. A proper potassium supply is necessary to improve the quality of the grape and its wine (sugar contents, coloration, taste, firmness and post-crop conditions). Potassium has a direct role in the synthesis of sugar and other enzyme processes related to the grapes’ maturation.

Chlorophyll is probably the best known of plant pigments, for it is the one that gives plants their characteristic green color. But its usefulness goes beyond color, for it is thanks to chlorophyll that photosynthesis is made possible, allowing plants to transform the sunlight into energy and growth.

Wheat’s great advantage is that it can be adapted to grow in very different environments and in temperate regions of all continents. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), production of this cereal, which is almost exclusively reserved for human consumption, has tripled over the last 40 years. It is estimated that each year around 100 kg are produced per inhabitant.

Pineapple, or Ananas comosus, is a plant from South America. Currently, pineapple fruit is cultivated in tropical areas around the world, particularly in Thailand, Brazil and Costa Rica. This fruit is consumed mainly in two ways: fresh, or preserved in syrup. Both methods preserve their most beneficial properties: high levels of Vitamin C and Manganese, positive digestive and diuretic effects, and low fat content. Furthermore, pineapples are a favorite of sportspersons for their anti-inflammatory properties, which help to prevent tendinitis and muscular pain.

While the origin of rice is in Asia, it is nowadays cultivated in wetlands and river deltas worldwide, being the second most cultivated cereal on a global level. Furthermore, it is a fundamental part of the diet of many countries. There are more than 10,000 known variants, with the Bomba variant the one best known in Spain. The most common diseases affecting rice are those caused by fungus infections-their incidence and severity may cause the loss of up to 70% of crops. This makes it a prerogative to take preventive measures during the entire cultivation cycle.
