ORTIMAX, your biocontrol tool against the aphid plague in the apple tree.

The apple aphid is a common pest in apple orchards and can cause significant damage to trees and their fruit production. These sap-sucking insects feed on the leaves and young stems of the tree and, if left unchecked, can weaken the tree and reduce the quantity and quality of the fruit.

Apple aphids are small, soft-bodied insects and can vary in color from light green to dark brown or black. They reproduce quickly and can form colonies in large numbers in a short amount of time. Additionally, apple aphids can transmit diseases through their saliva, which can cause diseases and deformations in the leaves and fruit of the tree.

There are several ways to control and prevent apple aphid infestations in apple trees. One of the most effective measures is the introduction of natural predators such as ladybugs and parasitic wasps. These insects feed on the apple aphids and help to reduce their population.

Specific insecticides can also be used to control apple aphids, but it is important to note that some of these products can be harmful to other beneficial insects and animals. Therefore, it is recommended to carefully read the product instructions and follow appropriate safety guidelines.

Additionally, it is important to maintain a clean and well-cared-for orchard by regularly removing dead and diseased leaves and branches. This helps to reduce the number of places where apple aphids can hide and reproduce.

In summary, the apple aphid is a common pest in apple orchards, but there are effective measures to prevent and control their infestation. By introducing natural predators, using specific insecticides, and maintaining a clean and well-cared-for orchard, it is possible to prevent these sap-sucking insects from damaging trees and their fruit production.

In this sense, the use of other agricultural biocontrol products such as ORTIMAX is recommended, which are safe for the user and respectful of the environment and auxiliary fauna.

ORTIMAX present a triple insecticide action:

· Coumarins stop the pest from feeding
· Formic acid creates a corrosive environment that inhibits the respiratory mitochondrial chain of insects
· Benzoic acids and other volatile acids have a strong repellent action

ORTIMAX present also a fungicide action against Alternaria, Botrytis, Mildew, and others due to its Silice content

TRIALS

In a trial carried out by ADLER on a Golden Delicius variety apple crop in Girona, the efficacy of ORTIMAX in controlling the apple aphid plague was verified.

RESULTS

   • Apple trees treated with Ortimax present an 11% more yield regarding the control
   • Plants treated with Ortimax were significantly greener and healthier. Also, the apples had better caliber and quality
   • Six treatments with Ortimax helped keep the pest under control without needing any other plant protection product. Even the last application was expendable
   • Apple trees of the control treatment needed two treatments with Diazinon
   • Ortimax respects the auxiliary fauna. This issue explains why the growth of the pest in the case of Ortimax-treated plants is less aggressive

N330 Complex helps maize reach its genetic potential.

Nitrogen is a crucial element for agricultural crops and even more so in the case of corn. Its importance is based on the fact that it is a fundamental component of chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants essential for photosynthesis. On the other hand, it is one of the main components of amino acids, which function as the building blocks of plant proteins.

Nitrogen is one of the most abundant elements on earth, however, nitrogen deficiency is one of the most common problems faced by farmers. This is due to the low availability of this element in a form assimilable by plants.

In soil, Nitrogen exists in three forms, nitrate ions (NO3-), ammonium ions (NH4+) and organic Nitrogen. Organic Nitrogen is contained in organic matter in the soil, crop residues, and microbial community within the soil. While organic Nitrogen may make up most of the Nitrogen in the soil, it is not available to plants until it is converted into ammonium or nitrate ions by microorganisms through a mineralization process. This way, it can be absorbed by the plant. During the growing season, ammonium is rapidly converted into nitrate, which is known as nitrification. Nitrate is the main form of Nitrogen absorbed by the plant.

Also, although plants only require relatively small amounts of micronutrients, they are essential for plant growth. In this way, if any micronutrient deficiencies exist, critical plant functions can be restricted, resulting in plant abnormalities, reduced growth, and lower yield potential.

Each micronutrient may be involved in multiple plant growth functions, as shown in the table below.

Specifically, Manganese is essential in photosynthesis, respiration and Nitrogen assimilation due to its catalytic action on forming chlorophyll and oxidation-reduction reactions in tissues. The plant absorbs it as Manganese ion Mn+2. It is a little mobile element and little available in alkaline soils. Deficiency symptoms are manifested on both young and old leaves in the form of interveinal chlorosis and the formation of necrotic spots. The corn plant is within the moderately sensitive level.

Zinc is a critical component of many enzymes and proteins and plays an essential role in growth hormone production. The plant absorbs it as a divalent ion (Zn2+) by root and foliar. It is antagonistic to Fe and phosphorus; it often synergizes with Cu and Mg. Its availability decreases in alkaline soils. The plant shows a shortening of the internodes, a typical rose-shaped appearance and small fruits. In the case of the maize plant, it is very sensitive to the deficiency of this element, it has pale green and yellow interveinal spots, sometimes white.

Copper is absorbed as a divalent ion (Cu2+), participates in the activation of enzymes, in the processes of photosynthesis and respiration, and helps in the plant metabolism of carbohydrates and proteins. Deficiencies occur in case of excess phosphorus. Moderate and acute deficiencies give visible symptoms in the apical parts of the plant although they are not as showy. Corn is moderately sensitive.

In this sense, our product N330 Complex, thanks to its high content of highly assimilable Nitrogen and the balanced content of Manganese, Zinc and Copper, specifically designed for the cultivation of corn, allows the plant to reach its genetic yield potential.
