Diptera: Tephritidae is one of the most destructive agricultural pests in citrus and fruit trees worldwide particularly in temperate and hot growing areas. In Spain, the total affected surface is over 300.000 ha. including citrus, fruit trees, table grapes and even vegetables like peppers in integrated pest management (IPM) programs. Currently, medfly common control strategies to avoid fruit damage are based on several applications of pesticides with low efficiency results. These crops produ...

Micronutrient deficiency leads to internal physiological disorders in the plant, limiting growth and production in the affected crops. The application of micronutrients with amino acids provides the missing element and re-establishes the physiological balance due to the biostimulant properties of the amino acids; this allows the plant to begin to assimilate the nutrients more quickly and to reactivate the affected metabolic processes

In vitro growth responses elicited by separated fractions of Macro-Sorb Foliar© (FOLIAR), a common biostimulant applied to golf course turfgrasses, were investigated using two bioassays specific and sensitive to auxin or cytokinin. Auxin responses were tested using the Avena (oat) first internode straight growth bioassay using increasing concentrations of indole-3-acetic acid as an internal standard. Cytokinin responses were tested using the Raphanus (radish) cotyledon expansion bioassay, w...

Several amino-acids are currently used in U.S. horticulture: gibberelic acids, auxines, cytokinins, etc. , mostly as inhibitors. In the last decade, amino acids biostimulants use increased because of their ability to improve the overall plant’s health, including better stress tolerance, reports Gordon Kauffman. The validity of these biostimulants as a positive growth regulator/stress tolerance enhancer has been primarily based on testimonials.

If you regularly use or plan on using supplemental, organic-based products called biostimulants on your turfgrass sod farm or golf course, you might be interested in whether benefits exist from these types of applications as part of your overall management strategy
