When field crops are transplanted in early spring, they are confronted with cold conditions, increasing the risk initial slow start or stress situations. Early fruit set requires growth stimulation and stress reduction, maintaining the attention on specific pathogens such as Fusarium and Didymella.
Strong plants are needed for the implementation of programmes including physical barriers and resistance inducers in order to reduce the number of interventions on aphids, moths, Alternaria, powdery and downy mildew.
SOIL VITALITY and HEALTH
Enhance microbial development in the rhizosphere, improves soil health and creates favourable conditions for root development.
Soil Health
Association of microorganisms for decomposition, nutrients solubilization, prevention
Fertiliser useful for root development and microbial multiplication
When applied at transplant and/or 10 days later, it improves decomposition, nutrient solubilisation and disease prevention.
Soil prevention
Root Resistance Inducer
Italo Propolis strengthens the root system and reduces damage from tracheomycosis during vegetation.
Trichoderma for decomposition, denitrification, prevention of root damage
Trichoderma and N fixators
Association of microorganisms for increased soil health and reduction of nematode damage
Association of microorganisms for increased soil health and reduction of nematode damage
Trichoderma for disease prevention
As soils need to remain healthy for the duration of the crop cycle, these products are used to colonise the soil, maintain the organic matter decomposition and nutrient availability. They will also reduce the risk of any rapid pathogens’ development such as fungi and nematodes.
PLANT HEALTH and RESILIENCE
Natural extracts forming a surface barrier or inducing a reduced aggressivity from pathogens are also solutions useful to complete existing programmes.
Resistance
Contains conifer bark extracts, copper and sulphur
Conifer bark extracts (100%) used as a barrier to spores’ entry through the stoma
The product presence on the vegetation provides a barrier to various adversities, mostly fungi.
Resilience
Contains Lecithin, a natural barrier for sucking insect
Contains Salicin and plant extracts known to induce defence mechanisms against viruses
Contains Neem oil (80%), a natural anti-feeding agent
Basic substance – Chitosan, elicitor useful in programmes against powdery mildew, Alternaria and botrytis
Contains propolis, resistance inducer and healing agent
Chestnuts bark tannins (75%) shown to create a chemotropic disorder, reducing infections from bacteria and oomycetes
Basic substance – Onion bulb extract useful in programmes against Alternaria, Phytophtora and Botrytis
Products, when absorbed by plants, trigger the natural defence mechanisms against pathogens, creating a preventive shield and maintaining the plant healthier. These solutions are normally used in programmes in order to cover the periods of major risks.
NUTRITION
Bio-stimulant – stress reduction, stimulation of physiological phases
The product optimises the nutrition by reducing abiotic stresses and improving root absorption. It improves fruit set, fruit enlargement and production.
