Este originară din America Centrală. Face parte din familia Caricaceae, genul Carica.
Este o plantă cu creștere rapidă, cu o rădăcină foarte superficială, frunze alterne, flori feminine, hermafrodite sau masculine, iar fructul este o bacă ovoidală, alungită, piriformă sau aproape cilindrică, mare, cărnoasă și suculentă.
Producția mondială este de unsprezece milioane de tone, iar principalii producători sunt Brazilia, Nigeria și India.
Dose:
- 1 - 2 L/Ha
Moment:
- In the first irrigation after planting.
Application purpose:
- Essential for unblocking the roots, allowing their development.
Dose:
- 1 - 2 L/Ha
Moment:
- In stress situations (Hail, frost, heat, phytotoxicity, pruning etc.)
Application purpose:
- Eliminates the excess of the stress hormone, Ethylene.
- Avoids production losses due to stress.
Dose:
- 20 L/Ha and month
Moment:
- During the whole crop cycle (10 L/Ha every 15 days).
Application purpose:
- Promotes a balanced vegetative growth and continuous root development, even in unfavorable soils.
- Efficiently supplies assimilable Calcium and assures its translocation, which translates into a good hormonal movement and in a reduction of physiological disorders.
Dose:
- 1 L/Ha
Moment:
- One monthly application.
Application purpose:
- Reinforces root activity, favoring root renewal thus improving the plant’s water and nutrient absorption capacity.
Dose:
- 10 L/Ha
Moment:
- From first fruit set every 15 days. (Alternate with NITROPLUS).
Application purpose:
- Supplies Potassium and ureic Nitrogen together with the Stoller technology to promote: Fruit filling (caliber) and correct fruit skin formation.
- The transfer of photosynthates from the leaves and the final physiological development of the plant.
Dose:
- 1 L/Ha
Moment:
- Apply during flowering.
Application purpose:
- Improves flower fixation and fruit set, helping reduce their abscission.
Dose:
- 1 - 2 L/Ha
Moment:
- Apply after flower fixation.
Application purpose:
- Promotes cell division in fruitlets, to obtain during the filling stage, bigger calibers.
Dose:
- 3 L/Ha
Moment:
- Apply in fruit set treatments and during the month after petal fall.
Application purpose:
- Improves fruit set by supplying Boron and Calcium (necessary for flower fecundation and fruit set viability).
- It supplies an efficient source of Boron which gives cell wall flexibility and, together with Calcium, a consistent and flexible skin.
Dose:
- 2 - 3 L/Ha
Moment:
- Two applications, 40 and 25 days before the harvest.
Application purpose:
- Moves sugars from the leaves towards the fruit, increasing Brixº while homogenizing the color.
Dose:
- 2 - 3 L/Ha
Moment:
- For sugar transfer to wood, apply 5-8 L/Ha, 30 days before defoliation.
Application purpose:
- Applied after the harvest, it transfers the sugars to wood, to favor the subsequent bud break.
- Delays vegetative bud break promoting floral buds.
Dose:
- 3 L/Ha
Moment:
- 30 and 15 days before the harvest; after each recollection pass, mixed with half the dose of BIOFORGE (1 L/Ha); fruit set in stress conditions.
Application purpose:
- Slows down premature ripening and senescence caused by ethylene, improving fruit conservation on the tree and thus, extending the harvest period without affecting the fruit’s organoleptic properties or color.
- Improves flower fixation and fruit set under stress conditions.
