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 …
Rooting is one of the most important facets in crop development. The root is the organ of plants that is responsible for fixing to the soil, absorbing water and nutrients and exuding compounds with which the plant interacts with other organisms and microorganisms in the soil and sometimes the root reaches function as a release …
One of the important elements of Proroot is its auxins, which are of two types and complement each other, let’s see what this group of phytohormones is about and how to use them for the benefit of crop production. AUXINS. Auxin is characteristically synthesized naturally at the stem apex (at or near the terminal meristem) …
Water can contain a wide variety of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and parasite eggs. The general problems are: biological contamination; inorganic contaminants like iron and manganese that promote pathogens like fungi, bacteria, and viruses; health risk chemical contamination, sodium, chloride, magnesium and sulfate; reduction of consumption due to excess alkalinity; deterioration of the installation …
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 …
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 …
