‘Vaccine’ induces resistance against fungi, bacteria and viruses

Harvest Agro exclusively revealed to AgroPages the launch of Stimullum Sherife, a technology that provides greater resistance against biotic stresses (fungi, bacteria and viruses) and abiotic stresses (heat, water stress) during development.

″With Sherife, we are ‘vaccinating’ the crop left in the open, or totally exposed to different situations, good or bad,″ said agronomist engineer, and doctor in plant nutrition at Harvest Agro, Roberto Reis.

According to him, the solution ″helps plants to overcome these obstacles when necessary and also to develop better, making an impact at the end of the operation with the harvest.″

Reis explained that Stimullum Sherife acts as a hormone modulator, a natural inducer and even inhibits the synthesis of ethylene, attenuating the fall of leaves, fruits and pods.

″The adequate hormonal balance is as important as the nutritional balance for good plant growth resulting in good crop productivity. All these characteristics together promote better nutrition, rooting and coverage of the exploited soil and consequently greater productivity,″ said Harvest Agro, a member of the Wirstchat Group.

Stimullum Sherife has amino acids that will participate in the synthesis of specific hormones and in the distribution of the amount appropriately according to the plant’s need at each stage of its development.

″We also have the benefits provided by the product, the increase in water and nutrient absorption, the better initial start of the crop, flowering setting, rattling root strengthening against tipping over at the end of the crop cycle, in addition to being an easy-to-handle product. It is complete,″ Reis explained.

The product also promotes cellular detoxification enzymes activity, such as peroxidases and superoxide dismutases, essential for the degradation of free radicals. This way, the plant develops fully without the vegetative stages accelerating.

Stimullum Sherife can be applied to all crops of economic interest, such as cotton, soy, coffee, citrus, sugar cane, beans, corn, FLV (fruits and vegetables).
