Crop stress from heat, drought and unpredictable weather
As we are increasingly experiencing, with this season’s unpredictable weather patterns crops are under constant pressure from environmental stresses like heat and drought, even if they are irrigated. For example, tuber Initiation is inhibited above 25°C and photosynthesis is significantly affected as temperatures rise beyond about 23°C, and which can halt tuber bulking and lead to premature senescence. Night temperatures >20°C are particularly detrimental due to limited recovery and carbohydrate loss.
BioBoost biostimulant for healthier, more resilient crops
To mitigate these effects and to keep your crops healthy and productive, a solution that supports crops through unpredictable seasons is needed. That’s where BioBoost comes in.
BioBoost is a premium biostimulant designed and tested to enhance plant growth, increase vigour and fortify crops against environmental stress. Whether it’s extreme temperatures or prolonged dry conditions, BioBoost helps your plants stay strong and perform better.
Why use BioBoost?
Supporting plants through heat stress
BioBoost reduces the production of “shock” proteins and also induces partial stomatal closure under heat stress to retain water. It also activates an antioxidant defence mechanism, which helps prevent damage to the crop’s photosynthesis functions.
Improving water use efficiency and dehydration tolerance
In summary, BioBoost is effective in acclimatising plants to incoming stress, promoting an increased water use efficiency (WUE) and dehydration tolerance.
Using BioBoost throughout the growing cycle
The BioBoost formulation can be used throughout the growing cycle, supporting early rooting when used post-germination and driving greater shoot and leaf development in more mature crops, increasing the plant’s photosynthetic area for higher productivity.
Supporting plant health, BRIX and yield potential
By promoting stronger, more resilient plants, BioBoost also helps crops to resist the ingress and progression of disease naturally, acting as an important tool in your crop management strategy. Crops treated with BioBoost consistently show increased carbohydrate production and higher sugar content, key indicators of plant health and yield potential.
Key benefits of BioBoost
BioBoost offers real, measurable benefits:
- Enhanced tolerance to heat, cold and drought
- More vigorous plants with effective leaf and shoot growth
- Improved plant health and sugar content (BRIX levels)
Add BioBoost to your crop management programme
Don’t let stress limit your yields. Add BioBoost to your growing programme and give your crops the edge they need to thrive in challenging conditions.
