Drought or lack of moisture in the soil constitute one of the major stress problems in avocado crops, which translates into fruit drop and reduction in its size, a consequence of the loss of absorbent hairs in the roots of the plant. In addition, excess water can also be harmful, as it can cause them to rot.
Therefore, from Ecocultura Bioscience affirm that “one of the most effective solutions to combat this stress is to provide beneficial nutrients to this soil, something that technology achieves NHDelta, in which nitrogen in the form of stabilized amide offers greater bioavailability in the soil in the long term ”.
Regarding this technology, the Almeria entity points out that “the progressive acidification of the root environment creates an optimal environment for root development and the formation of secondary absorbent hairs, which leads to less drop and reduction in fruit size, as well as the establishment of beneficial microorganisms in the soil.
At the same time, the regular application of this product «allows to reduce the contribution of nitrates and the supply of irrigation water in considerable quantities, while increasing the production, quality and post-harvest of the fruit.
NHDelta benefits
On the other hand, the application of NHDelta, in combination with other technologies such as XStress and CalFlux, following the Ecoculture Biosciences program for avocado cultivation, has resulted in treated farms in various producing areas of the peninsula such as Malaga, Granada, Huelva, Valencia or Castellón «greater flowering, fruit set and increased yield, size and shape of the fruit, and less fall and quantity of small and round fruits ».
Similarly, the application of the Ecoculture Biosciences program in avocado, which in addition to the use of NHDelta, XStress and CalFlux includes applications of Rainbow Wave, «manages to significantly reduce alternation or lapse, produced by atmospheric factors but also by internal physiological factors such as the decrease in reserves in the roots of the trees, the interference between the development of the fruits and their vegetative growth and the interference between the latter and the flower initiation “, in words from its manufacturers.
In summary, the Almeria company highlights that «the NHDelta range provides quality, productivity, rooting and stress tolerance. It is indicated for arid and semi-arid areas, soils with high pH, saline soils with high levels of sodium or where the irrigation water is of low quality, and improves the yield, quality and homogeneity of the fruit, prolonging the productive life of the crop, allowing a significant reduction in conventional inputs of other forms of nitrogen. ‘
