Crop protection against pathogens is a priority in modern agriculture. Pinophytal Mix is a self-defense inducer that activates internal protective mechanisms in plants.
This formula stimulates the production of phenolic substances and phytoalexins, key to natural resistance to external agents.
Unlike other products designed for abiotic stress, Pinophytal Mix works directly on plants’ internal defenses, strengthening their response to biotic threats, such as pathogens (fungi, bacteria, viruses) and pests (insects, mites).
Its composition includes pinophytes extracts, a group of natural compounds from pine trees and rich in natural polyphenols with beneficial properties for plant metabolism
What is a self-defense inducer and how does it work?
Self-defense inducers are products designed to stimulate plants’ natural defense systems, making them more resistant to diseases, pests, and environmental stress. These inducers can be of natural origin (such as plant extracts or microorganisms) or synthetic.
They activate the plant’s defenses by inducing the production of phytoalexins and other defense substances. Phytoalexins are antimicrobial compounds that plants produce in response to an attack by a pathogen.
Pinophytal Mix does not introduce external defense substances; instead, it enhances the crop’s own ability to react to pathogens.
This approach strengthens resistance without generating unwanted waste in agricultural production.
The importance of phenolic substances and phytoalexins
Phenolic substances play a key role in plants’immune response.
They are found in various tissues and act as signaling molecules, triggering defense processes against opportunistic microorganisms.
Phytoalexins, on the other hand, are antimicrobial compounds that plants generate in response to biotic stress. These metabolites help limit the proliferation of fungi, bacteria, and viruses that could affect crop yield.
The action of Pinophytal Mix is based on the stimulation of these compounds, strengthening the plant without compromising its physiological balance.
Pinophytes, the role of natural compounds in plant self-defense
One of the distinctive elements of Pinophytal Mix is its pinophytes content, a set of molecules extracted from natural sources, specifically from pine trees.
These substances have proven effective in modulating defense responses, promoting the synthesis of phytoalexins and activating biochemical pathways that strengthen crop resistance.
Pinophytes are involved in key processes such as:
- Regulation of gene expression associated with defense mechanisms.
- Increased enzymatic activity linked to the production of phytoalexins.
- Stabilization of plant metabolism, ensuring a balanced response to external agents.
By incorporating these types of compounds, Pinophytal Mix offers an innovative solution for plant health management, reducing dependence on conventional chemically synthesized products.1
Applications and benefits in agricultural management
Pinophytal Mix is indicated for crops that require a boost to their natural defense system.>.
Its application is especially useful in:
- Vegetable and fruit crops, where pathogen pressure can compromise production quality.
- Plants in active growth phases, when vulnerability to microorganisms is greatest.
- Sustainable production systems, , where the goal is to reduce the use of conventional phytosanitary inputs.
Main benefits of Pinophytal Mix include:
✅ Greater resistance to diseases and pest infectionsby activating internal immune responses.
✅ Reduction of environmental impact, by minimizing the need for chemical control products.
✅ Improved crop quality, increasing yield and quality.
Thanks to its formulation based on natural extracts, Pinophytal Mix contributes to more efficient and ecosystem-friendly agriculture.
Why choose Pinophytal Mix in integrated management programs
The use of self-defense inducers is becoming established as a key strategy in integrated crop management.
Artal’s Pinophytal Mix aligns with this trend by providing an effective tool to enhance plant resistance without altering soil balance or compromising biodiversity.
Its integration into bioprotection strategies complements the effects of biostimulants and biofertilizers, generating a more balanced and efficient production environment.
By acting on natural metabolic pathways, this product guarantees an adaptive response without interfering with crop growth.
Pinophytal Mix represents an innovative alternative to strengthen crops from within, ensuring more resilient production aligned with the principles of agricultural sustainability.
