PROBLEM
Zinc and manganese deficiencies are uncommon in greenhouse crops. However, this winter, with the persistent cold, we have observed significant deficiencies of these elements in several areas of the Almería "Sea of Plastic." These deficiencies have led to a decrease in the photosynthetic potential of the crops, resulting in reduced vital and productive functions.
This video shows the condition of the Parejo variety pepper plants with marked deficiencies in Zinc and Manganese.
SOLUTION
Our technicians recommend the application of ZIMA-L MAX, a fast-absorbing zinc and manganese deficiency corrector with direct action in the prevention and correction of the lack of these elements.
It is a slow-release biotechnology product of EDYPRO in the vegetative mass that causes the production and storage of important compounds used by the plant cell. These compounds play an important role in the process of photosynthesis, synthesis of lipids and amino acids, determining the color of fruits and flowers, among other functions. Thus ZIMA-L MAX It provides the plant with sufficient levels of zinc and manganese reserves so that it can assimilate and use them according to its physiological needs.
RESULT
One month after completing the two recommended treatments with ZIMA-L MAX We have once again verified the improvement that has occurred in the plants and the fruit.
According to farmer Antonio Baños Vargas, “There has been a very dynamic response in the fruit,”, It has lengthened and taken on a very pronounced shine. At the same time, the plant has intensified its deep green color and shown a gratifying and beneficial response, increasing its vegetative activity and thickening the upper fruits. In his own words: “The crop is no longer the same, it has changed a lot”.
By restoring the balance of microelements, we have managed to recover the daily photosynthesis potential, which in turn has improved the thickening of the fruits.
In the following video you can see what the plant looks like now, even though the low night and day temperatures have caused some leaves to be turned/curled up on themselves.
