1st World Congress on the use of Biostimulants in Agriculture

December 2012

Several environmental factors adversely affect plant growth, its development and the final crop yield, being temperature stress (cold, freeze or heat stress) one of the most limiting variables. With the aim to assess the effect of exogenous amino acids treatments, several experiments with plants subjected to different stressing temperatures were conducted applying an amino acid product obtained by Enzymatic Hydrolysis (Terra-Sorb). Findings suggest that Terra-Sorb has a similar effect than nat...

The Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), Ceratitis capitata, is a key pest of many fruit crops throughout the world. The eradication programs of this pest have typically entailed the use of chemical insecticide sprays. Nowadays, these practices are controversial because of their adverse effects on humans, non-target organism and the environment. For these reasons, more environmentally friendly solutions for medfly control are searched. CeraTrap is an attractant completely free of pesticides in its...

Scientific Communications | Optimus®

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...

9th Days of Experimentation in Fruitgrowing

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...
