The fruit development stage is a key moment to ensure the production and profitability of the crops.
“The management of the crops' flowering has been one of the challenges of this campaign in many citrus production areas. Another challenge, as always, has been water, as the excess or lack of water impacts the quality and volume harvested. In this situation, biotechnology is an essential tool,” stated Silvia Madrueño, Symborg's Global Marketing Manager.
“We have been linked to citriculture since the incorporation of our company in Murcia in 2010 and know its challenges firsthand. The high degree of modernization of this crop and its management, under extreme water scarcity and salinity conditions, has made the region an international benchmark," she stated.
According to Silvia Madrueño, having production strategies that include soil management and introducing biotechnological solutions is key to producing efficiently, guaranteeing profitability, and sustainability:
“Applying MycoUp360, a biostimulant based on the mycorrhizal fungus Glomus Iranicum var. tenuihypharum, allowed us to increase the crop's biomass per unit of water used. By increasing photosynthesis, we proportionally reduce water losses by evaporation, taking advantage of it for the manufacture of photoassimilates. In addition, we favor the development of the crop -even in the presence of nematodes- and the fixation of nitrogen.”
“With the application of Vitasoil, a rhizospheric microbial soil regenerator, we increase the solubilization of potassium and phosphorus, achieving a direct impact on the fruit's growth and its quality,” he added.
“Hundreds of field trials demonstrate that the application of Symborg biotechnology translates into more profitability, without forgetting environmental sustainability,” stated Silvia Madrueño.
