Phosphorus, a great ally for the rooting of your plants.

Phosphorus (P) is the second most important mineral nutrient in national and world agriculture; The reason is because phosphorus is a very reactive element in the soil and quickly turns into more complex forms that are difficult for plants to absorb. In other words, much of the world’s agricultural land has a high potential for phosphorus retention. For example, phosphorus is strongly bound to soil particles or fixed in organic matter particles, which limits its availability to crops.

Phosphorus promotes root growth, improves nutrient efficiency, water use and increases yield. Nitrate absorption and reduction is an energy-consuming process, which is supplied by adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Consequently, nitrate metabolism is related to P supply.

For example, plants take up more N due to better root development. It was observed that the application of P in combination with nitrogenous fertilizer decreases the protein concentration compared to the application of N alone.

In contrast to Nitrogen, Phosphorus is not found in reduced form in plants, but remains as phosphate, either in free form or as an organic compound, mainly as phosphoric ester with hydroxyl groups, or forming energy-rich anhydride bonds. , as is the case of ATP or ADP. It therefore plays a key role in photosynthesis, respiration and all energy metabolism.

Phosphorus participates in a large number of enzymatic reactions that depend on phosphorylation. In most plants, phosphate is easily redistributed from one organ to another, accumulating in young leaves and in developing flowers and seeds. Phosphorus accumulates mainly in the meristematic regions of the stem and roots.

Proroot® Growth regulator designed to induce and stimulate root growth and stem thickening

Its formulation is based on a balanced mix of macronutrient “rooting” hormones and fulvic acids, which are easily absorbed and assimilated both by foliar or root. Auxins (ANA and IBA) are the main exogenous hormones that exert primary control in root formation and act jointly with rooting cofactors.

The rooter with the highest concentrations of Nitrogen and Phosphorus on the market. Due to its robust formulation, better use of nutrients is obtained, as well as an increase in the root surface (secondary roots) that generates more productive plants. It was designed for root growth and stem thickening.
