Adama launched ExpertGrow in Brazil to boost crop resistance to environmental stress. It is a third generation biostimulant, which increases the productive potential between 5% and 15% above other alternatives in the market.
"ExpertGrow has a conception that is different from what is used traditionally in market, such as soluble salts and mixtures of first generation foliar fertilizers, and the micronutrients products with organic substances for the second generation plant," said Marcelo Rolim, products manager at Adama.
According to Adama, the company spent two years on developing a foliar application fertilizer with biostimulating effect, serving the needs of major crops in Brazil, including soybeans, kidney beans, corn, cotton, citrus, and coffee. ExpertGrow has a specific target on metabolism and acts within the plants cells. It showed great consistency in more than a hundred fields tests conducted in the main production regions of Brazil in the last two years.
The results, according to Adama technicians, are "resistance to abiotic stress, with increased photosynthesis, increased production of sugars and improved breath. The final goal of these metabolic procedures is to produce a more vigorous and uniformed flowering, and to increase the efficiency of grains and fruits formation. With more fruits or pods, the farmer is able to produce more foods or fibers with same planted area".
