We have launched a new product: FULCITE. To learn more about this product, Aitor Rubio, Agricultural Engineer and Technical Director at Altus Biotech, answers some questions:
What does the launch of FULCITE in the agricultural market entail?
In an agriculture increasingly exposed to the vagaries of climate change, such as increasingly extreme temperatures, droughts… which affect crop production and quality, a comprehensive tool like FULCITE will enable producers to achieve good harvest yields while maintaining the quality of their crops, thus continuing to produce profitably.
What does FULCITE offer that sets it apart from other similar products?
The raw materials, formulation process, and composition of FULCITE place a truly comprehensive tool in our hands to address any type of abiotic, physiological, phytotechnical stress and even minimize damage caused by abiotic stresses. This composition makes it incredibly effective, whether applied foliarly or to the soil. It also makes it fully compatible with any other product, whether nutritional or for control purposes.
On the other hand, and unlike other organic products, due to its formulation process and subsequent filtration, the product is stable and does not produce precipitates or sediments even under extreme temperature conditions during its transportation and storage.
How does it work?
The composition richness we mentioned earlier allows FULCITE to act in different ways depending on the stress the plant is experiencing.
Some examples may include:
For abiotic stresses such as water and thermal stress, FULCITE reduces them through the action of amino acids like glutamic acid and proline, osmolytes, and carbohydrates.
For nutritional stress, it acts through various amino acids, organic acids, fatty acids, and plant-derived phytohormones.
For physiological stress, FULCITE reduces it through the action of natural growth promoters, amino acids, sugars, organic acids, and polyamines.
Are there trials that demonstrate its effectiveness?
Yes, we have trials that demonstrate the effectiveness of FULCITE in various crop groups, such as fruit trees and vegetables, in different parts of the world with different climates, soil types, and varieties.
