There are several myths surrounding agriculture, some of which are not true, and which today, from EDYPRO We give you technical arguments to dismantle them.

1.-“The more flowers there are in a crop, the better the production will be.”. Incorrect. In arborescence, this is a misconception because the ability to produce good-sized fruit with firm, dense flesh and a high juice content depends on the tree's capacity to accumulate metabolites produced during daily photosynthesis. And for this, an adequate number of leaves is necessary.

To debunk this myth, it's also important to point out that an excess of fruit increases competition between the tree's organs and reduces the chances of achieving a good fruit size. Finally, a tree with a heavy fruit load is more prone to alternate bearing.

2.-“The disease must be treated when it is visible.”. Incorrect. In both agronomy and medicine, the best outcome for a healthy crop is disease prevention and proper management. In this sense, adequate water and nutrient supply, as well as optimal pruning, help maintain the crop's natural defenses at a good level and make it more resistant.

Even when optimal environmental conditions are present, the crop is likely to become infected, and the level of infection depends on the farmer.

If we carry out the phytosanitary treatment when the damage is already visible, we lose in two ways:

• On the one hand, the damage to the crop has already been done, thus reducing the crop's productive potential.
• On the other hand, the active ingredients also affect the plant, weakening it and further reducing its ability to produce.

In this sense, biotechnology allows us to activate the plant's self-defense mechanisms, making it less susceptible to diseases and pests. This is the case with our biotechnological solution. CINDERELLA which inhibits the fruiting of powdery mildew spores on the plant epidermis and at the same time nourishes the plant with microelements necessary for the proper development of its physiological functions.

In any case, the best harvests are always achieved by those technicians and farmers who take preventative measures. EDYPRO We always compare prevention with car insurance, It's mandatory to have them, but hopefully you'll never have to use them.

3.- “The more fertilizer for the crops, the better.”. Incorrect. Only by listening to the plant's needs will we know its nutritional requirements. In this regard, we must avoid two situations.

• Soil blockage due to the passage of macroelements in primary chemical form or blockage of some elements due to an excess of others.
• Excessive vigor reduces crop productivity. In these cases, plants with excessive vegetative growth tend to reduce the number of fruits formed, abort already fertilized fruits, or deplete developing fruits in favor of new vegetative growth.

Therefore, if the crop is a productive plant, and not ornamental, we must seek a balance and it is preferable to under-fertilize since it is always easier to add more than to remove the excess.
