The Valencian firm explained how the use of biotechnology can improve fertility in saline soils<\/p>\n
EDYPRO<\/strong> On February 12th, he participated in the 15th Technical Rice Conference, organized by the Institute of Agrifood Research and Technology (IRTA). This is a key event for the sector, serving as a meeting point for technicians and rice farmers and showcasing the most relevant results of technological developments carried out during recent seasons.<\/p>\n The topic that EDYPRO<\/strong> The presentation at the conference focused on improving fertility in saline soils through the use of biotechnology. The company supported its presentation with images and data on the results obtained in the field.<\/p>\n Saline soils, found in Europe along the Mediterranean coast of France, in the Ebro Valley in Spain, and in the Tagus Delta in Portugal, cause various problems for cereal cultivation. Saline soils hinder germination and plant establishment, can lead to premature plant death and loss of the root system, and impede fertilizer uptake.<\/p>\n The application to rice cultivation of\u00a0COUP\u00c9 REGENERATION<\/span> Plus<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong> It displaces sodium ions from the soil, creating an optimal soil horizon for plant germination and rooting. Furthermore, its use replaces base fertilization, resulting in a reduction of salinity. The electrical conductivity (EC) of the soil is determined by the concentration of salts present in the clay-humus complex, originating from sodium accumulated by capillary action and from applied fertilizers that have been converted to their primary form. COUP\u00c9 REGENERATION<\/span>\u00a0Plus<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0It transforms these ions into an assimilable form, providing the crop with sufficient fertilizer units in the first stage of development.<\/p>\n
