Recently, inducer products of the resistance of the plants, like Optimus (Bioiberica, S.A.), have arisen as a good alternative to the indiscriminate use of fungicides, controlling the recurrent appearance of fungi diseases, and diminishing the chemical residues in horticulture and fruit cultures. With the objective of showing the biological bases of action of the product, a test in controlled conditions has been carried out in a model guest-pathogen system. The induction of biochemical and s...

Nutrient deficiency stress produced by the low availability of a nutrient or a nutritional imbalance is one of the main limiting factors in the production and fruit quality. The foliar application of macro and micronutrients with amino acids from enzymatic hydrolysis, natural organic complex, allows contributing with the deficient element in a totally available form, thanks to the bioestimulant properties of the amino acids. Results show an improvement on production in quantity and quality o...

Scientific Communications | Armurox®
Silicon (Si) has proven effective in controlling both soilborne and foliar fungal diseases in several crops. This study aimed to determine the efficiency of the product Armúrox (Bioibérica, S.A.), a formulation of peptide compounds with Si (PC+Si) to reduce the intensity of rice leaf blast. The spray of PC+Si showed great potential to reduce blast intensity as compared to non-sprayed plants.

Scientific Communications | Cera-Trap®
Mass trapping techniques have been consolidated as an effective solution to control Medfly Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) worldwide. One of the reasons for their success is the strong attraction that ammonia odor exerts to the females, which are the damaging fruit agent and the dominant factor for pest multiplication. Among females, it is believed that the youngest are more attracted to proteinic compounds due to the need for an external supply of protein for ovary maturation. Wit...
