In September transplants for open field crops and for those in a protected environment, the time has come, after the plant has overcome the transplant stress and is in the middle of the vegetative phase, to think about reinforcing the vegetative organs to reduce the susceptibility of itself to fungal diseases before temperature fluctuations catch the crop off guard. Any “higher” autumn thermal values also end up favoring vegetative growth by putting the plant into vegetation when instead it is time to promote flower differentiation.
We also remember that, with the arrival of winter, the soil temperatures will slowly drop; temperatures below 18 ° C reduce the plant’s ability to assimilate phosphorus, so what the plant had accumulated must be enough for the completion of the production cycle. However, it often happens that the plant goes into an energy deficit: in the cauliflower or broccoli plant, for example, the release of the flower head is delayed.
Mugavero takes the field with STATIA to solve these problems; it is a resistance inductor enriched with lignosulfonates specially designed for foliar application to give new energy to the plant.
STATIA performs a triple action: it nourishes the plant, thickens the leaf blade, and makes it less susceptible to attack by fungal diseases by shifting the source-sink balance towards production. An integrated defense strategy, it makes it possible to significantly reduce the number of pesticides that can be used for the fungicide defense against powdery mildew, downy mildew, and botrytis. It can be mixed with all formulations on the market, it also has a healing action: after a hailstorm, for example, it is desirable to intervene with STATIA for rapid healing of damaged tissues.
Used regularly from 3 to 5 times during the normal vegetative-productive cycle, it allows obtaining a plant with a beautiful green color and healthier. The best structure of the leaf and therefore of the plant results in a more homogeneous and performing plant in terms of production.
STATIA does not create residues and has no shortage times, allowing for regular harvesting, a very important aspect for these types of crops.
