Fertiláqua highlights solutions to help plants deal with damage caused by climate instability

Fertiláqua has products and services that allow the plant to reach the maximum of its genetic potential, with the joint use of knowledge in soil, seeds, planting and nutritional and physiological management.

The vegetative process is one of the most important phases of cultivation and requires care. It is important to use products that encourage the crop to develop vegetative structures more efficiently in capturing light and improve the plant's photosynthetic efficiency.  

Fertiláqua has special solutions for this moment that guarantee full leaf development. And, even in times of stress, they promote better performance in recovering from damage and resuming growth.

Currently, with the climate instability that Brazil has been facing, plants have suffered a very high impact on their metabolism. Such stress causes the production of substances that cause damage to cellular structures. “Known as Reactive Oxygen Species, or ROS, they are generated in plant metabolism. This reaction helps the plant communicate about problems in the environment, but causes harm if it remains active in the organism, such as the paralysis of metabolic processes essential to survival, such as cell death, stomatal closure, weakening of the cell wall, senescence, inefficiency of photosynthesis, in addition to of a lot of biochemical damage”, explains Fertiláqua’s development manager, Deyvid Bueno.

With the use of products with a characteristic composition containing mainly Amino Acids, Algae Extract and key micronutrients, such as Zn, Mo, Cu and Mn, the impact of stress is immensely reduced, as they are capable of promoting the increase in enzymes responsible for combating and reducing of compounds harmful to plant metabolism, in addition to ensuring a greater flow of reserves for subsequent protein accumulation, that is, greater productivity.

Another benefit of products containing these compounds is to help the crop in case of germination failures. As the climate is very unstable and the planting window is already far in advance, replanting operations are becoming increasingly unfeasible. Therefore, it is essential to encourage the crop to create vegetative structures that can reduce losses due to crop failures. “The damage from a failure per m² added to environmental stress are factors that can bring enormous economic losses to the producer, but with these solutions it is possible to significantly mitigate the impact. Having more vegetative structures makes it possible to build more reproductive structures, which will consequently generate more grains per plant and ultimately more bags per hectare”, explains the manager.

Plant resistance

Improving the plant's resistance profile helps it suffer less damage in some conditions. The application of products activates the plant's natural defense mechanism, preventing infection levels from occurring with productive and economic losses in crops. 

This type of solution improves the plant's capacity and gives it tools to go through critical phases, and is also recommended to complement balanced nutrition during the development stage. Fertiláqua's defense products have a varied and complex composition, offering the plant the ability to activate its secondary metabolism and combat phytopathogenic organisms, with the benefit of less damage to plant tissue and greater plant capacity to produce and accumulate photoassimilates.

“Consistency of results is also a major differentiator of our products. Because we have excellent R&D, constant validation from professionals of national and international relevance and the efficient response with the producer, we are confident in recommending these solutions to help the producer who has the crop installed and needs to guarantee its full development”, concludes Bueno .
