In some agricultural areas, water scarcity has forced the development of a series of measures to increase the availability of water for irrigating crops, one of which is the implementation of desalination plants, which purify water of all minerals except boron.

Boron, in high concentrations, is a micronutrient that in excess can be phytotoxic, causing serious damage to crops. Therefore, most fields irrigated with desalinated water have excess boron in the soil and in the crops.

This is what was happening in a grapefruit orchard irrigated with desalinated water of poor quality and high concentrations of boron. As a result, the trees were turning yellow and the harvest was spoiling.

To rectify this situation, from EDYPRO We proposed:

Apply REGENERATION PLUS COUPÉ to increase the cation exchange capacity in the soil, rebalancing the assimilation of nutrients in the clay-humus complex.

And stimulate with CUPRO PLUS MAX, EDYMAG y ALGATRON

Thanks to the application of biotechnological solutions from EDYPRO This situation was reversed. Despite being exposed to an excess of boron, the crop is now managed optimally, producing excellent, high-quality fruit.

Biotechnology allows us to continue growing crops even in challenging water conditions.
