Nursery environments require particular attention during the early phases when plants establishment is essential. Root system establishment is a key factor of success.
Keeping plant healthy is a plus in terms of quality and plant development after transplanting. physical barriers and resistance inducers can be used in programmes.
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
Trichoderma for decomposition, denitrification, prevention of root damage
Trichoderma and N fixators
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
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.
SEED COATING
Early bio-stimulation – Emergence
The use of a seed coating product will result in better emergence and improve crop early start.
