Biostimulant corrector of physiopathies of the fruit skin in horticultural & fruit
Biostimulant corrector of physiopathies of the skin of the fruit in horticultural, and fruit trees, such as cracking, bitter pit, and creasing.
Characteristics
Biostimulant corrector of physiopathies derived from the lack of assimilation of calcium that affects the skin of the fruits of horticultural crops and fruit trees.
Neostren forte applications improve the absorption and mobility of calcium by the cuticle, since the osmotic potential of the cell is optimized, ensuring greater permeability of the tissues so that they do not dehydrate.
It protects and restructures the cell walls of the tissues since it minimizes the action of high temperatures and the concentrations of salts that can occur in the skin of the fruit, which causes dehydration and small breaks in the skin.
Advantages and benefits
→ Strengthens and hardens the skin of the fruit without losing elasticity
→ Greater mechanical resistance of the fruit against damage by friction, handling, transport.
→ Reduces microcracks in the skin of the fruit
→ Greater tolerance of the fruit to sudden changes in temperature and humidity
→ Closure of pathways for pathogens
→ Reduces and dampens cracking in fruits
→ Extends the life of the post-harvest fruit
Crops, dose and time of application
Apple trees. It can be used in all varieties of apple tree, in order to reduce the incidence of Bitter-pit. The application period extends from the third week after flowering to two weeks before harvesting, carrying out at least four treatments of 2-2.5 kg / ha each.

Stone fruits. Three applications every 15 days after the cap falls off.
→ Cherry: 3 applications every 7 days after petal fall.
→ Loquat: to avoid purple stain. Make 3 applications: 15 days before the veraison, during the veraison and 7-10 days after the second.
Citrus. Make 3 applications of 2.5 kg / ha during the development of the fruit until harvest at intervals of 12 to 15 days. Volume of water: minimum 500 l / Ha.
Lettuce. 2 to 3 applications of 2 kg / ha starting 10 to 14 days after transplantation with intervals of 7 to 14 days between applications
Tomato, pepper, melon. Applications of 2 – 2.5 kg / ha from flowering of the second bunch. Repeat at intervals of 7 to 14 days.
Causes of cracking
Cracking is one of the most important problems for fruit producers, causing significant losses in production. The damage is caused by the absorption of water through the skin, which increases the osmotic pressure inside the fruit, causing it to increase in volume.
Among the factors that would influence the appearance of damage are the cultivar, high relative humidity, rain close to harvest, prolonged droughts with subsequent irrigation and an increase in the soluble solids content of the fruit as it matures.
The causes are due to the difference in osmotic potential between the rainwater above the epidermis of the fruit and the sugar content inside the fruit. The fruit tends to absorb water into the fruit to reduce the osmotic potential.
