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 …
The profitability of horticultural and fruit crops is increasingly more tied to the ability of the farmer to provide products with high qualitative standards, able to satisfy both the consumers and the requirements of large supermarket chains. Uniformity of size, color, consistency, sugar content and scent are fundamental parameters that determine the profitability of the …
Farmers have to face increasingly difficult technical and agronomical challenges and have to balance needs that seem hardly compatible at first. The observance of high qualitative standards, sudden climate changes and the constantly greater attention of the consumers towards integrated and/or organic productions are only some of the demands that farmers must be able to …
En algunas áreas geográficas la temporada típicamente más fría se caracteriza por temperaturas bastante suaves que pueden afectar significativamente la producción de cultivos. El hecho de no alcanzar ciertas horas frías, diferentes de un cultivo a otro, puede de hecho comprometer la brotación uniforme y la posterior floración, así como una producción de buena calidad. …
Sudden and intense meteorological events such as flash floods (heavy rainfall in a short amount of time), violent thunderstorms, hail and wind storms cause severe damage to agricultural crops and to the related infrastructure in the Mediterranean area and in East Europe. According to the data processed by the European Severe Weather Database (ESWD), these …
Vyrer, a unique product with 5 different actions, namely ACIDIFYING, FERTILIZING, as an COLOR CHANGE INDICATOR, now even more WETTING and ADHESIVE. Vyrer is a liquid fertilizer with an acidifying action, which regulates the pH of the water used during the treatments, improving the solubilisation, the homogenisation, the adhesiveness and the translocation inside the vegetal …
In the last few years, more and more fruit farmers and growers of both wine and table grapes report frequent internerval chlorosis of the younger leaves, which subsequently result in necrotic spots with early leaf drops and bring to progressive qualitative and quantitative production losses.
The phenological phases that go from setting (formation of the embryo) to the beginning of fruit growth are extremely delicate, since the correct nutritional balances play a fundamental role for the obtainment of qualitatively and quantitatively satisfactory productions for farmers. It is especially important in these phases to guarantee to the crops full availability of …
Blossom end rot (BER) is one of the most common physiopathologies in crops such as tomatoes and other solanaceae (e.g. bell pepper). The physiopathology brings both morphological and chromatic malformations in the fruits. The damage normally appears in the form of a lesion in the distal apex of the fruit, due to the necrosis of …
Frost and temperature drops in spring represent the main challenge for world agriculture. In Europe, an intense increase in spring frosts has been registered in the last decade: these affect all of Europe and in particulr the Balcanic area, even though climate change is currently bringing a general rise of temperatures. At this time of …
