The priorities of the period require a nutritional strategy to guarantee aspects such as uniformity of the bunches, berries enlargement and improved consistency.
These objectives require using specific products capable of acting on a biochemical level, supporting the delicate involved processes starting from this delicate moment up to the phenological phases close to harvest.
Cifo, which has been always aware of viticulture technical needs and developing nutritional specialties optimized for the sector, now proposing a complete strategy that has been proved through field trials giving the possibility of yield with high quality standards.
The strategy to gain these goals includes 3 specialties to be used by foliar application:
Macys BC 28
Organic plant biostimulant of completely natural origin, made up 100% of Macrocystis integrifolia seaweed extract.
It acts by counteracting abiotic stresses through a synergistic action of the components present in Macrocystis: alginic acid, betaines, natural growth promoters, fucoidan, laminarins, vitamins and mineral nutrients.
These components guarantee a balanced development and the preservation of a high cellular turgor even in moments of maximum demand, during severe temperature changes, drought, soil salinity and water-nutritional imbalances.
Cifamin BK
An enhancer of fruit growth consists of some plant extracts, seaweed extract and vegetal amino acids.
The result of their action in plant leads to increase the size of the berries, stimulate the processes of cell division and elongation.
It can be used in combination with Macys BC 28 to enhance its biostimulating action.
Calcisan Green
Biostimulant based on Calcium and Magnesium activated by the seaweed (Macrocystis integrifolia) extract which provides great fraction of calcium and facilitate its translocation within the plant tissues.
The use of Calcisan Green by foliar application has shown excellent effectiveness in terms of a significant increase in the elasticity of cell membranes, allowing to reduce damage of pulp and skin cracking.
The results obtained through various field trials of three products’ application showed:
- Greater resistance to environmental stresses and enhanced tolerance to temperature changes over spring – summer.
- Berries with excellent size and bunches with more uniformity.
- Greater production and final quality, improved resistance to harvesting and improved shelf life.
