Auxins Auxins are plant growth hormones due to their ability to stimulate differential growth in response to light stimuli. They are the phytohormones that play the most important role in the development of plants. Four natural auxins synthesized by plants have been described: IAA, indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), 4-chloroindole-3-acetic acid (4-Cl-IAA), and phenylacetic acid (PAA). In … Leer más
All crops, whether direct seeding or transplant, require certain specific conditions to achieve success in the early stages of their cycle and therefore have optimal development and production; As a check list or list of requirements, we can mention: Good Nutritional Contribution: mainly Nitrogen and Phosphorus. Adequate biostimulation: to achieve correct cell division and development … Leer más
Proroot is a growth regulator based on synthetic auxins with rooting function. It has a total of 3000 ppm of a mixture of auxins (naphthaleneacetic acid and indolebutyric acid). However, thanks to its formulation it can also promote the root and aerial development of the plant even after the transplant. The auxins included in the … Leer más
Everything in nature has a balance and to a great extent that level of balance is very fragile, very narrow and can be easily compromised. In this article we will comment on some practices in agriculture that break the internal balance of the crop and that in many cases can have negative effects on agricultural … Leer más
As mentioned in previous articles, auxins are natural substances, derived from plant metabolism, which are produced with the aim of activating or inhibiting certain processes within the plant. The auxinic phytohormone par excellence is Indoleacetic Acid, which is derived from the amino acid tryptophan, through specific metabolic pathways. These routes are also shared by some … Leer más
El agua puede contener una gran variedad de microorganismos, incluyendo bacterias, virus, protozoos y huevos de parásitos. Los problemas generales son: contaminación biológica; contaminantes inorgánicos como hierro y manganeso que promueven patógenos como hongos, bacterias y virus; riesgo para la salud contaminación química, sodio, cloruro, magnesio y sulfato; reducción del consumo por exceso de alcalinidad; … Leer más
Las hortalizas se estresan muy fácilmente; con el estrés, muchos de sus procesos son disminuidos para poder sobrevivir, uno de esos procesos mermados puede ser la fotosíntesis que, si disminuye, puede acarrear problemas serios del tipo energético en la planta. La fotosíntesis en proceso mediante el cual las plantas transforman la energía lumínica en energía … Leer más
Las hortalizas son plantas de vida corta de las que puede aprovecharse el fruto, las hojas o sus raíces (tubérculos, rizomas). 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
