DVA launches thermoregulator for soybean in Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia

The German multinational DVA revealed exclusively to AgroPages the launch of the thermoregulator for soybean Osmobetan.

The product will be officially presented to the market on the 4th of July simultaneously in Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia.

With an unprecedented formulation combining Glycine Betaine, Fulvic Acids, and Folic Acid, Osmobetan is a technology that strengthens the plant's resistance in periods of flowering stress, thus ensuring better crop productivity.

″In soybeans, each flower becomes a pod, and each one will have two to three grains. When we manage to keep more of them, this directly affects productivity,″ explained agronomist and Head of Crop Nutrition Latam, Bruno Francischelli.

Climate changes affect crop development, generating stress, such as cold fronts, warmer days, or more or less rainy weeks.

″The plant aborts the flower as a safety measure to try to continue its development process. Osmobetan's role is to support it, increasing its ability to maintain flowering even in these unfavorable scenarios,″ Francischelli added.

The indication for using the release is as soon as the first flowers appear and then reapplication after 15 to 20 days.

″It is important to highlight that there is an excellent cost-benefit ratio since the product is not expensive and the other applications of fertilizers, chemicals, biologicals, and others, are maintained as the producer already did,″ the Agronomist pointed out and added that there are two applications of half a liter per hectare, already using his day-to-day operations.

Osmobetan also protects the plant from sanity in the soil, ″This is bad for the plant since this salt is like a forced drought and it competes with the plant for water,″ Francischelli detailed.

″In Brazil, this is not a big problem, but in regions of Paraguay and Bolivia, the application is made on leaves, and even so, Osmobetan helps the plants to face this scenario as well,″ he said in conclusion.
