Climate change and crop stress

Climate change is directing current agriculture towards the need for anti-stress products that help maintain the yields.

Climate change is a problem of great importance for society in general and for agriculture and animal husbandry in particular. Due to the instability situation that it generates, crops are increasingly subjected to all kinds of stresses.

Also, the effects of climate change are increasing, and numerous studies point to devastating impacts in agriculture with only one planet 3ºC hotter as shown in the following image

In the previous image you can see how the most productive areas of the planet will greatly reduce their harvests, while other areas will become more productive and there will even be new arable land due to global warming.

This fact confirms the pressure exerted by stress on the crops of the future. In this context the use of new agricultural solutions capable of combating stress and its catastrophic effects is indispensable.

A plant, when feeling some type of stress, maximizes its energy saving, decreases the loss of water and uses its supplies to maintain its vital functions instead of continuing to develop normally.

This is due to the fact that the plants, when subjected to an adverse situation, activate a series of protective measures such as the closure of their stomata, the reduction of photosynthetic activity and the acceleration of foliar senescence.

In this way, a stressed crop is a high-risk factor for agricultural crops and, therefore, for the profitability of the farmer.

In this sense, ADLER AGRO offers to the farmer a wide variety of biostimulant products with a high efficiency combating this kind of problems. Preparing the plant to withstand any kind of unexpected stress and helping it to recover after any adversity that could put the harvest at risk.

Specifically, ADLER AGRO products from our Amino Acid Family are formulated specifically to solve these imbalances caused by plant stress.
Plants, during stressful situations, need a high availability of amino acids to produce their own defence proteins against a particular factor.

Thanks to amino acids, it is possible to reopen or keep open stomata, increase photosynthesis and delay leaf senescence.

For all this, the absorption of amino acids by the plant helps to overcome adverse situations, since they strengthen the functions that the plant is developing at each moment.

In this sense, the use of amino acids in agriculture is a tool that can be very useful both to improve the production and quality of the harvest and to overcome moments of stress. Although it is necessary to have a knowledge of this type of products to buy the one that best suits the needs of your crop.

For this reason, at ADLER AGRO we are at your disposal for any technical questions you may have about our products. In order to recommend the best option for your needs and offer you the best technical service.

Fertilization during the flowering season in agriculture

Fertilization during the flowering season in agriculture

Flowering is a brief period, since most of the flowers wither very quickly. However, it is a fundamental process in agriculture. Since the processes of pollination, fertilization, seed formation and initial fruit growth occur in it, which will define to a significant extent the quantity and quality of the final harvest.

Flowering is essential, especially in certain crops such as fruit and horticultural crops. Since the main commercial value of these crops are the fruits.

During flowering the following stages usually happen:

– Possible elongation of the floral peduncle

– Opening of the corolla followed by the appearance of stamens and pistils

– Dehiscence of the anthers and dispersion of pollen

– Receptivity of the pistils with frequent appearance of stigmatic fluid

The time of flowering depends mainly on the species, being able to develop earlier or late depending on the cultivated variety. Normally it is carried out between the spring and autumn seasons. Being the so-called long-day plants those that bloom between spring and early summer and the short-day plants the ones that bloom in the autumn.

In this way, the flowering process is closely related to four main factors:

– Hormonal activity

– Environmental conditions (light and temperature)

– Water availability

– Balanced nutrition

Regarding nutrition, flowering crops need to keep constant the level of nitrogen, and receive phosphorus and potassium. But not in excessive amounts, since excess nutrients can lead to a nutritional imbalance, decreasing the positive effect.

It is also important to provide micronutrients such as boron that participates in pollination, flowering and seed production and is of great importance for the hormonal regulation of plants. As well as the Molybdenum, whose lack in the crop produces a reduction of the growth of the plant and the flowering.

In addition, this process requires a lot of energy mostly for the production of amino acids involved in reproduction.

In this sense, ADLER AGRO has developed a specific nutritive solution for this delicate and transcendental phase of the crop. FLOWER is a biostimulant based on amino acids and micronutrients that improves the nutritional state of the plant, stimulating physiological functions that occur at this moment of the cycle.

Its high content of complexed boron and molybdenum ensures an easy assimilation of these nutrients. Thus increasing viability of pollen, flower fertility and promoting fruit setting.

Thanks to its high content of amino acids, FLOWER allows the plant to overcome adverse weather conditions or stress that especially affect pollination and fruit, increasing the germinative power of the pollen grain and the elongation of the pollen tube.

The ADLER AGRO formula guarantees an increase of the flowering and the setting, and therefore its production.

Maturation – BRIX

BRIX est un biostimulant liquide que contient dans sa formulation de polysaccharides, de calcium, de magnésium et d'oligo-éléments complexés qui favorisent la formation et l'accumulation de sucre, ce qui améliore la qualité et la maturation des fruits.

Plusieurs tests faites par Adler Agro démontrent l'efficacité du produit BRIX l'augmentation des sucres dans les fruits aussi qu'une plus élevée uniformité et advancer la maturation et la récolte.

Dans les temps de maturation de bon nombre de nos cultures, Agro Adler recommande l'application de BRIX pour améliorer la qualité de la récolte.

Frost Defence: protection against frost

Frost Defence: protection against frost

We are in times of frost in our latitude, and it is time to think about viable solutions to avoid as far as possible the damage they cause.

Frost Defense is a liquid product based on organic acids that covers the outer surface of plants, preventing the loss of water due to low temperatures and minimizing the damage caused by these adverse conditions.

FROST DEFENCE is indicated to protect our crops from radiation frost, and protects the plant (especially flowers and fruits) up to a temperature of -3ºC and for approximately 10 days.

It is advisable to apply FROST DEFENCE 24-48 hours before the frost forecast. The product is degraded without affecting the quality of the fruits and without harming the plant in any way.
