It is a very important agronomic practice that allows the crops to receive and build up reserves of the nutrients that they have used during their cycle. The nutrients that the plant receives thanks to post-harvest fertilisation are necessary to better face the following season and obtain good production results, especially in recent years, when …
Several physiological disorders of rice lead to an increase in flower abortions and, as a result, to a reduction in fruit set and yield. Flower abortions are often due to abiotic stress caused by severe thermic variations between microsporogenesis (pollen formation from microsporocytes) and flowering. Despite the diverse susceptibility among varieties, these physiological disorders are …
Grapevine cultivation, particulary table grape, is one of the most specialized sector in agriculture. Any new agronomical approach for yield quality improvement, have to take into account the market requirement, the wide range of cultivars with specific needs and the local technical practices. Thanks to our long experience in the main table grape production areas …
Stone fruit trees are crops among the most sensitive to sudden changes in climate conditions. For this reason, within our nutritional line dedicated to these crops, we included two biostimulants: Algaren Twin and Expando. These two formulations, conceived for foliar application, allow the plants to naturally react to adverse climate conditions that can lead to …
Spring is upon us, but sudden temperature drops and risks of frost can often occur, and are cause for concern for fruit, olive and citrus growers.
To reduce the chance of damage to the crops, it is essential to start a preventative action. It is important to use high purity formulas, in order to increase the salinity in the cells of sensitive organs (gems, buds, flowers), therefore decreasing the freezing point.
During spring vegetative recovery, autumn-winter cereal crops can be subject to stresses due to the sudden return of cold weather, late frost and water stagnation caused by abundant and prolonged rainfall. All these conditions can lead to dangerous cases of root anoxia, with strong reductions of photosynthetic activity and total absence of tillering. Further, herbicide …
The study of formulas and agronomic techniques that allow to qualitatively and quantitatively improve fruit productions and guarantee early and uniform ripening at the same time has always been one of the key points of our research. Typical environmental conditions in central and southern Italy often do not allow for the ideal amount of cold …
The artichoke is a plant characterized by high production potential, quick growth, substantial vegetative development and large productions. Throughout the years, the need to anticipate harvest as much as possible has become increasingly more important, leading farmers to the use of a hormonal substance, gibberellic acid. The hormonal treatment, carried out during the transformation of …
The seedlings coming from the nursery as a result of the transplant into the ground are exposed to severe stress: from adaptation to the ground, to the thermal ones due to temperature changes and excess radiation, and lack or excess of water. These phenomena commonly referred to as “post-transplant stress” result in a temporary block …
Post-harvest treatments are very important because: They provide reserve substances that are essential for the differentiation of the buds and their protection even in case of harsh winter temperatures They prevent macro and micro deficiencies They limit the alternation of production They promote wood maturation For every specific objective, we indicate a targeted and effective …
