Photosynthesis, an essential process to activate when a plant decreases its energy.

Vegetables are very easily stressed; With stress, many of its processes are diminished in order to survive. One of those diminished processes may be photosynthesis, which, if diminished, can lead to serious energy problems in the plant. Photosynthesis in the process by which plants transform light energy into chemical energy, that is; inorganic components are … Leer más

SOS, What to do when your vegetable crop asks for an immediate rescue?

Vegetables are short-lived plants from which the fruit, leaves or roots (tubers, rhizomes) can be used. They have a very accelerated nutritional dynamic, this is because their tissues are soft, they generate new cells intensely and their respiration rate is high, for this reason they have a high demand for nutrition. By constantly generating new … Leer más

The problem of algae in irrigation strips

Greenhouse and commercial nursery crops require large amounts of good quality water. On average, the estimated daily water requirement is 22,000 gallons per acre for greenhouses and about 27,000 gallons per acre for nurseries. Because water is such an essential element, business operations need to maintain water sources of sufficient quantity and quality to grow … Leer más

“Check List” for the Perfect Starter of roots for your crop

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

Natural auxinic hormones

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

Synthetic auxins

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

Desinfección de agua en reservorio
