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 …
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 …
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: Once you have the above elements, it is safer to be successful in planting or transplanting …
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 …

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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
