44th Brazilian Phytopathological Meeting

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.

8th International Symposium on Fruit Flies of Economic Importance

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...

6th International Table grape Symposium

Terra-Sorb® is a commercial product based on a mixture of all biologically active L-amino acids which proceed from enzymatic hydrolysis for agriculture use by foliar application (Bioiberica, 2009). Spain is one of the main table grape producers in Europe with excellent cultivars seeded and seedless. Among these, ‘Crimson’ and ‘Autumn Royal’ are within the most cultivated and exported.Although application of amino acids has been evaluated in some crops, there is no scientific informa...

SEST International Symposium

Transplant ability to overcome physiological stress and become established in a new environment depends on the ability of seedlings to withstand root disturbance, the water and nutrient uptake capacity of the roots, and the plant capacity to regenerate new roots. This response is the result of changes in gene expression that are related to the mechanisms activated by the plant to withstand stress. Focusing on the critical stage after transplanting, Bioiberica, S.A developed Inicium, a totall...
