Lamb’s lettuce is cultivated mainly in cool conditions. The quick succession of cycles promotes soil fatigue and pathogen proliferation. Necessary attention should be given to maintaining proper levels of organic matter (OM) and soil vitality using microorganisms. This is the basis of any programme made to reduce damages from soil pathogens such as Sclerotinia.
Resistance inducers acting on Plant Resilience will help in reducing the presence of residue in crops.
SOIL VITALITY and HEALTH
Enhance microbial development in the rhizosphere, improves soil health and creates favourable conditions for root development.
Soil Regeneration
Soil Resistance Inducer
Soil Resistance Inducer
Incorporating prior to drilling, improves soil conditions.
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
Trichoderma for decomposition, denitrification, prevention of root
Trichoderma and N fixators
Trichoderma for disease prevention such as Sclerotinia spp
As soils need to remain healthy over several cycles, 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.
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
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
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 biomass and production.
SEED COATING
Early bio-stimulation – Emergence
The use of a seed coating product will result in better emergence and improve crop early start.
