Syngenta Biologicals launched ERGER, a biostimulant containing inorganic nitrogen in Brazil. This product helps Brazilian fruit crops break dormancy and promote germination.
The warm winters in southern Brazil and their frequent temperature fluctuations tend to cause crop dormancy and low germination. According to Syngenta, this is the only biological agent on the Brazilian market that can be used to break dormancy in apples, pears, grapes and other stone fruits. ERGER can promote the metabolism of temperate fruit crops, break dormancy, and create conditions for improving the consistency and vigor of crop germination.
The market development manager of Syngenta Bio said: "If the winter is not long enough or cold enough, buds will continue to dormant, resulting in delayed leaf growth, early crop nutrient depletion and other problems, increasing the risk of premature fruit drop, or severe uneven growth. Under unfavorable climatic conditions, the metabolic activities of plants will be inhibited, which will directly affect the yield and quality of agricultural products.ERGER can solve these problems, as a natural and safe biostimulant, it can increase the efficiency of the germination process, help crops have a good growth start, and the product is very environmentally friendly and harmless to plants. "
Brazil is the world's third-largest producer of the fruit, with around 58 million tons a year, according to the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation. The country's fruit trees are grown in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions. The temperate zone is dominated by fruit crops such as grapes, apples, peaches and plums, which are of socio-economic importance in the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Paraná.
