My main role is to advise farmers, but I also perform accounting functions, in addition to actively seeking new clients who pursue and value agronomic success.

Above all, to the cultivation of zucchini, tomato and watermelon.
What problems, shortcomings, or demands do you observe most in the field?
The biggest problems are water stress in the plant, since these crops are grown with high conductivity, lack of fattening, and nutritional imbalances.
In winter there are many problems with flowering failures caused by low temperatures, not to mention the problems of viral diseases.
What led them to become interested in biotechnology?
Using biological systems and living organisms or their derivatives to create products for specific use in agriculture is a very interesting technique, since in this way the cell division of the plant can be improved, thus improving its yield and protecting it from pests and diseases.

Can you tell us about a case where the application of EDYPRO products was essential for the recovery or success of the crop?
I had an experience on a zucchini farm that the farmer had been harvesting since December. At the beginning of February, the farmer saw it was in such bad shape that he wanted to pull it up, but with the following intervention, we managed to keep harvesting until the end of May.
The viral infection began to attack him, but we started treatment with COUPÉ REGENERATION Plus Applying 80 L./ha every 20 days, the plant underwent a huge change, improving the quality of the main stem, the root, and increasing the leaf mass.
Once the previous step was completed, we proceeded with the applications of ROOT PROCUJI at 15 L/ha per week, achieving a significant increase in crop yield and improving fruit quality. For all these reasons, this new farmer was very satisfied with the biotechnology of EDYPRO.
Besides the products, what added value does working with EDYPRO offer?
