It is important to keep in mind that fertilisers are neither the cure nor the solution for diseased plants, plants that are not adapted to their environment or plants that are poorly cared for. Furthermore, it is necessary to keep in mind that fertilisers are appropriate only when they are needed, in the right amounts, at the right time and…

The most commonly used fertilisers in agriculture are nitrogenous fertilisers. Nitrogen (N) is a major element in plant nutrition, as it is the nutrient that makes up proteins, nucleic acids, amino acids and chlorophyll. Nitrogen (N) is therefore linked to the vegetative growth of plants. According to the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations), nitrogen fertilisers account…

Agricultural fertilisers are one of the agricultural inputs necessary for higher crop yields.There are three types of fertilisers: Organic: those that are naturally formed with very little human involvement in their formation. Organic fertilisers can be of mineral, vegetable or mixed origin. Manure would be an example of an organic fertiliser. Chemical: these are mainly man-made nutrients. We also differentiate…

Plant disease control has become increasingly complex in recent years. Technification and intensification of agriculture has led to an increase in production to meet the world's ever-increasing demand for food, but challenges have also arisen at the phytosanitary level. The relationship between the variables that determine the development of epiphytotic diseases is becoming increasingly complex and society is demanding healthy…

What is an agricultural biostimulant? Biostimulants are micro-organisms or substances that articulate physiological and biochemical processes in plants. They act through different mechanisms than fertilisers and plant protection products. Biostimulants are complementary to crop nutrition and protection.Biostimulants are applied to maximise the genetic potential of the plant, causing changes in hormonal status, activating metabolic processes, improving nutritional efficiency, stimulating development…

The quality of this oil, however, is variable, depending on its content of monounsaturated fatty acids, which are very important in the human diet. In this article we present an effective treatment to stimulate the fat…
