USE OF MICROORGANISM IN AGRICULTURE

The FAO has been warning for years that groundwater contamination is one of the most important problems in developed countries and that it can be seen more and more in developing countries. Chemical fertilizers have been used on a large scale without thinking about the consequences. Fertilizer contamination occurs when fertilizers are used in greater amounts than a crop can absorb or when they are removed by water or wind from the soil surface before they can be absorbed. The excesses are dragged by water courses or infiltrated through groundwater and this nutrient overload causes eutrophication, giving rise to a massive generation of algae that suppress other plants and consequently aquatic animals, causing a problem of incredible dimensions (a clear and current example of this is the problem of the “Mar Menor” in the Region of Murcia, south of Spain).

Soil salinity and its devastating consequences for crops

In addition, soils must be as productive as possible and must be cared for against problems such as erosion, pollution, salinity, etc.Soil salinity refers to the high concentration of salts in the soil and the origin of these can be naturally or due to incorrect agronomic management that increases the concentration of salts in agricultural production. The areas where the most saline conditions are usually present are arid areas, with irrigation and along the coast.

Changes on the new European fertilizers regulation

The continuous development of new fertilizer products implies that these standards are in continuous adaptation, so that, as they are products, increasingly demanded by the consumer, they continue to be protected by the two legislative frameworks already discussed (the European and the national).

Products for organic agriculture; the guarantees behind the certifications

The consumption of products for organic agriculture, or also known as organic or even biological products, is constantly increasing. According to FAO sources, the organic market is expected to grow by 20% in the short to medium term, while it is proposed that in 2030 25% of the agricultural land in the EU will be […]

PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND MINERAL NUTRITION

Photosynthesis is the metabolic process by which inorganic matter is transformed into organic matter, chemical molecules with a carbon skeleton (C) together with hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) in different proportions, by means of the light energy from the Sun, which in turn is transformed into chemical energy, for later use by living beings. It […]

From the flower to the fruit using Boron

The essentiality of Boron in different physiological processes of plants is known, such as sugar transport, photosynthesis, nucleic acid metabolism and proteins, synthesis and stability of cell walls and membranes, etc., as well as more specific processes related to flowering, fruiting and quality of the fruits

HOW TO SET THE DOSES OF THE PRODUCTS TO AVOID SALT STRESS

The choice of the dose of the product should depend on the level of saline stress that the crop has, which, in turn, will be conditioned by the following factors:

Specific sensitivity of the crop to salinity
Electrical conductivity of the soil
Electrical conductivity of irrigation water
Soil texture
Others, such as specific climatic conditions, irrigation system and frequency.

How to identify a nutritional deficiency? We guide you to know what element your plant is asking for.

In terms of vegetal nutrition, the correct development of plants is usually compromised for one or more of these reasons:

– Inadequate contribution of nutritional elements or failure in their frequency.

– That the nutritional elements are not bioavailable for plants.

– Internal imbalances of certain elements.

A new distinctive to identify the ecological certification of a DISPER product

The DISPER brand was born long before the take-off of organic farming and at that time we were already thinking of the values of organic certifications;low environmental impact, low doses, optimal packaging management, saving in transport and storage, and protection and respect for the health of farmers.
