Artal Smart Agriculture ha presentado en el Palau de les Arts Reina Sof\u00eda su nueva gama de productos PRIMTAL \u2013 Stress-Free Technology, desarrollada en colaboraci\u00f3n con el equipo de investigaci\u00f3n del doctor Victor Flors de la Universidad Jaume I de Castell\u00f3n. Al acto asistieron cerca de doscientas personas, entre ellas representantes de empresas de quince pa\u00edses, para conocer de primera mano los beneficios de estos revolucionarios productos para el mercado agr\u00edcola.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The new Artal range is based on the \u2018priming effect\u2019, activating mechanism of the immune system of plants that does not generate stress. To face the current trend in which elements harmful to the environment, but essential for the survival of the agricultural production system, are being eliminated, Artal has developed a solution, compatible with biological control and organic farming certified, which preserves the health of the crop in a way compatible with the environment and with the health of human beings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The research project that has concluded in PRIMTAL \u2013 Stress-Free Technology, comes from the use of induced resistance against pests and pathogens, the so called \u201ddefense priming\u201d. By means of this technique, the immune system of plants is stimulated, so then they are conditioned to respond in a faster and more efficient way to different stress factors, as explained by V\u00edctor Flors in the presentation. The main lines of research of the director of the \u2018Metabolic Integration and Cell Signaling\u2019 research group of the UJI, focus on the plants immune system and interaction with the plant environment; and the metabolism of nitrogen in plants under conditions of biotic stress.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
With this technique a defenses horizontal activation is achieved, and therefore the plant reacts quickly to the challenge that is present. Thus, not a single defense path is involved but many, of several components and even at the same time; in addition, only the presence of stress triggers it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The range consists of three nutritional solutions compatible with the useful fauna for the control of sucking insects (PRIMTAL WF), of various mites (PRIMTAL RS); and compatible with microorganisms for the control of different fungi (PRIMTAL FG). As ARTAL General Manager, Juan Artal, has indicated during the presentation, \u201cat Artal we believe in safe, sustainable and highly productive agriculture. What we do is the fruit of a good labor generation after generation, and this is not a matter of magic, it is science\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
