“The Injury of the Endocarp”. This is one of the most common and most felt problems by the pistachio producer (Pistacea vera L.) which occurs due to the nutritional deficiency of calcium and which, inevitably, has negative repercussions on the quality and quantity of the final product. Also because it begins with the formation of the endocarp and continues in the development stages of the fruit.

The importance of calcium and Mugavero’s solutions for pistachio

Assuming that, according to various studies, calcium protects cell membranes from damage caused by abiotic and biotic stress (in fact, fruits with a low amount of calcium dry matter have a higher respiration rate and are less storable), however, the radical absorption of calcium by the pistachio plant is limited and often hindered by the Ca / Mg ratio. And it often happens that magnesium-based soil fertilisations modify this ratio (the optimal value of which is 2), effectively creating a “false” calcium deficiency in the fruit. In detail, the pistachio benefits from the foliar application of calcium which improves the characteristics of the hazelnut and the percentage of split or open fruits, on the contrary decreasing the percentage of closed and immature fruits. This is why for the nutrition of pistachio Mugavero deploys Tonical, a biostimulant, and Statia, an inducer of resistance. This, in addition to improving the aesthetic and organoleptic quality of the fruit, gives the plant greater resistance to thermal stress for the plant in the summer. In summary, it is thus supported in the initial accumulation process of reserve substances that will take place simultaneously as the collection.

Tonical

Tonical is a fluid organic formulation containing calcium complexed with amino acids and peptides from brown seaweed extracts (Ecklonia Maxima) rich in natural growth regulators such as auxins. Thanks to its low molecular weight, it readily enters plant tissues ensuring rapid assimilation of calcium. And when the protagonist is pistachio, Mugavero suggests three foliar treatments from the fruit set onwards.

Statia

In a mixture with Tonical, we suggest the use of Statia a “zero residue” liquid formulation designed to favour the thickening of the leaf blade and the maturation of the wood, at the same time providing energy to the plant, and completing its nutrition with the contribution of potassium and magnesium having the function of “osmoregulator” and “greening agent” respectively. The treated fruits thus have a greater dry matter and an intense colour when the fruit ripens.

August is now a memory and with the arrival of September, pepper cultivation returns to the fore. In protected cultivation, in the context of the Mediterranean area, the cultivation of peppers stands out for its yields and sustainability. Consequently, using a performer fertilizer means the costs of managing the crop with an assured final result and amortization.

This is why, for the cultivation of pepper, the Mugavero biostimulants line becomes fundamental, which includes a range of highly professional products that can also be used in organic farming. In conditions of water stress, the crop is more subject to apical rot: calcium, an important component for the structure of the cell walls, is not translocated in these stress conditions and the plant can also show internal chlorosis and necrosis of the leaf margin in correspondence of the vegetative apexes, which can even dry up. In fact, calcium directly affects the salt balance in plant cells and potassium is activated to regulate the opening and closing of the stomata and to allow the movement of water in the plant.

Mugavero’s solutions for pepper cultivation

Going into the merits of the solutions from Mugavero for the cultivation of peppers, from the fruit set phase to the pre-harvest phase, foliar applications of Tonical are suggested, a fluid formulation containing calcium complex with amino acids and peptides more easily conveyed inside the cell membrane. As, in the organic component Tonical also has extracts of brown algae (Ecklonia maxima) very rich in phytohormones, in particular auxins, obtained by cold extraction.

On the other hand, to improve the colour of the peponide and support the plant during production, we recommend the application of Upper Grow, a liquid biostimulant rich in potassium and organic nitrogen indicator to also increase consistency and shelf-life. Applicable both foliar and in both fertigation; In the second case, Upper Grow contributes to improving the physicochemical properties of the soil by increasing the nutrient availability in the circulating solution and improving the exchange capacity of the soil system.

melon culture

With the official arrival of summer, the melon is finally ready to take centre stage. Both in the fields and the tables. This is why, precisely in this period, we must not forget one of the fundamental aspects when it comes to a melon culture that is, in the Mediterranean area it stands out for yields and sustainability. Consequently, using a performing fertilizer does not only mean amortizing the management costs of the crop with an ensured qualitative result, it means taking care of the entire cultivation process at 360 degrees.

In this direction, the Mugavero biostimulants line for melon culture includes a range of highly professional products that can also be used in organic farming. Also because it should not be forgotten that in conditions of water stress the crop is more subject to calcium deficiency: the macroelement, an important component for the structure of the cell walls, is not translocated and the plant shows delayed growth, shorter internodes, leaf margins. they stop expanding and the leaf curves downwards; even the production is affected during the fruit set phase with the appearance of “irregular” fruit in shape. Without forgetting that calcium also directly affects the salt balance in plant cells and potassium is activated to regulate the opening and closing of the stomata and allow water in the plant.

Mugavero’s solution for melon culture

So, so that the melon culture is respected in the smallest details and without any hitch, Mugavero offers a complete solution to avoid the lack of calcium and improve the colour of the fruit and support the plant during production.

Starting from the first aspect, from the pre-fruit setting phase to the pre-harvest phase, there are two types of solutions: foliar applications of Tonical, a fluid formulation containing calcium complex with amino acids and peptides more easily conveyed inside the cell membrane and Mugasol Mix L, a product based on chelated microelements with an organic chelator that allows rapid absorption in the vascular system. In detail, the organic component TONICAL also has extracts of brown algae (Ecklonia Maxima) very rich in phytohormones, in particular auxins, obtained by cold extraction. The goal, therefore, is to ensure the perfect nutritional balance in the leaf, with consequent promotion of photosynthetic activity and greening of the tissues.

To improve the colour of the fruit and support the plant during production, we recommend the application of Upper Grow, a liquid biostimulant rich in potassium and organic nitrogen indicator to increase the consistency and shelf-life of the fruit. Upper Grow is applied both by foliar and by fertigation; in this second case, helping to improve the physicochemical properties of the soil by increasing the nutrient availability in the solution and improving the cation exchange capacity of the soil system. Therefore, guaranteeing careful, precise and complete cultivation of the melon.
