Redox’s Role in Bio-Active Compounds Consultants and growers constantly focus on preventing the biotic stress. The time has now come where we must focus on mitigating abiotic factors on yield and quality. Redox engages with a worldwide network of public and private research professionals to understand how the plants...

Importance of BioActive Compounds? Oxidation Reduction (Redox) Reactions Redox reactions are the movement of either hydrogen(H+) or an electron (e-) from one compound to another. This movement releases energy, which drives forward a biological reaction. Examples of cycles that utilize redox reactions are glycolysis, oxidation of pyruvate, fatty acid...

Bloom is generally considered the start of a season and represents to many when investment into a crop begins for the harvest to come. Applications of fertilizers, pest control products, and plant growth regulators during bloom can have a great potential return on investment. In this article I would...

Nitrogen Overview The development of readily available synthetic nitrogen fertilizers after world war II has played a central role in dramatic crop production improvements. Yields have improved five-fold on average. This phenomenal advancement is often referred to as the Green Revolution. Economical and abundant nitrogen availability means that nitrogen is...

Soil tilth drives root quality. Poor soil conditions lead to a poor performing crop. Many soil types are notorious for having challenges with high magnesium or low calcium. As a crop, blueberries are notable for having soil challenges. Much of this can be traced back to deterioration of soil structure...

Early season root development strongly influences crop season performance potential. One key factor for optimum root growth is phosphorus nutrition. Phosphorus is the energy molecule of the plant. Root growth, especially early in the season, occurs under naturally adverse conditions in the soil and this stress point demands a great...

The critical roles of calcium in plant growth and development can be categorized into three key benefit areas: 1. Root growth. The root tip requires ionic calcium availability in order to grow and exert adequate pressure to elongate in the soil. 2....

Calcium plays a critical role in crop yield and quality. To understand the function and role in agronomy, it should be understood from a plant point of view, and from a soil point of view. It is critical that plant calcium nutrition be addressed early and adequately. It...

Freezing temperatures can cause severe damage to plant cells. This occurs when water in plant cells freezes causing dehydration and cell destruction. Plant components that are particularly sensitive are the flowering and reproductive structures during bloom. Besides good horticultural practices such as air movement and irrigation system utilization...
