Tienen una dinámica nutricional muy acelerada, esto debido a que sus tejidos son blandos, generan células nuevas de manera intensa y su tasa de respiración es elevada, por esta razón tienen una alta demanda … Leer más
Growth Regulators are substances that function in plant growth and are normally active at very low concentrations. Among these, we can differentiate those produced by the plant and those that are of synthetic origin. Those that the plant forms naturally are called phytohormones or plant hormones. Growth regulators are used for many purposes. They have … Leer más
Germination and emergence: The pre-emergence period varies between 8 and 12 days, and is faster when the temperature is higher. Almost any damage that occurs during this period has lethal consequences and this is the stage in which the maximum mortality occurs. Seedling growth: After the development of the cotyledonal leaves, the growth of true … Leer más
