FOLTRON Global Training Module
Biostimulant to enhance vegetative growth 1. Presentation & Composition: - Liquid formula for foliar spray - Contents: • Folcisteine (0.275%) • Macronutrients: N (ammonium 5.6%); P (P2O5 19.5%); K (K2O 5.0%); Mg (0.01%) • Micronutrients: Mn (0.01%); Fe (0.05%); Zn (0.05%); B (0.008%); Cu (0.005%); Mo (0.0002%)
2. Mode of action: Folcisteine contained in Foltron slowly releases the Thiol groups (-SH) within the cell . S H • Thiols are highly reactive in enzymatic processes • Thiols regulate cell division and respiration • Thiols prevent oxidation of cellular compounds • Thiols are essential for metabolism of carbohydrates and proteins such as DNA, RNA & Ferrodoxin
2. Mode of action: Focus on antioxydant activity: Increasing of antioxydant in plants is signal of recovery from stress conditions. % Antioxydant activity in zucchhini plants after low temperature stress: 20.6 20 16.1 15 % 10 5 Research: ALS Mexico Laboratory 0 Control Foltron Folcisteine contained in Foltron induces more antioxydant activity, thus helping the plant recovery from abiotic stress condition.
2. Mode of action: Focus on Ferrodoxin role in chloroplasts: During photosynthesis, Ferrodoxin manages the distribution of energy to different plant physiological processes. Folcisteine contained in Foltron thus activates photosynthesis.
3. Crop benefits: Activates photosynthesis Enhances vegetative growth Helps plant recovery after abiotic stress Correct mineral deficiences
4. Grower benefits: Row crops : accelerates vegetative growth, leading to higher yield Fruiting crops : increases marketable yield, fruit size & quality Easy-to-use, compatible with most PPP and fertilizers
