AMALGEROL Effects

Late spring frosts endanger your fruit setting

Climate change has altered phenology with a greater risk of late spring frosts

… reduces frost damages

… enriches the cells with antioxidants and sugars

Grape formation begins right after pollination

Fruit development is very susceptible to nutrient deficiencies and pathogens

… Antioxidants and amino acids ensure stress protection

… hardens berry skin, more uniform berries

Up to 3 m long tap root + net of fine roots at the surface; stability for the heavy heads

Susceptible to soil compaction

… counteracts soil compaction,
improves soil structure

… stimulates root growth for more stability

Early water deficiencies reduce the leaf area and subsequently the yield

Late water deficiencies lower the oil content

… enlarges the roots

… gives the sunflower more access to water

… reduces water deficiencies

High demand of nutrients

High water demand,
susceptible to drought stress

… demonstrably bigger roots can take up
more nutrients and water

… mitigated transplantation stress

High input – high price vegetable

Quality determines the price (taste)

… can be easily applied via drip irrigation

… improves quality and taste
(e.g. sugar content)

Prefer pH 5,5 – 6,5 (not above 7)

Well-drained soil, susceptible to compacted soil and waterlogging

… pH value AMALGEROL ESSENCE: 5 – 6

… improves soil life for loose healthy soil

Prefer higher humus content around 3 %

Organic fertilization better than mineral because very salt-sensitive

… rich in organic matter

… organic fertilizer, improve humus quality

Late spring frosts endanger your fruit crops

Climate change has altered phenology with a greater risk of late spring frosts

… reduces the probability of ice formation

… enriches the cells with antioxidants and sugars

Apple cultivation based on small, slow growing, fast fruiting rootstocks

Trees are more susceptible to drought stress and pathogens

… Promotes root growth for better access to water and nutrients

… Antioxidants and amino acids ensures stress protection

Light soil, well-drained

susceptible to compacted soil and waterlogging

… supports a loose soil structure

… activates soil life to counteract compaction

Ressources stored in the deep root system

Transplanting „crowns“ for a new field

… stimulates root growth

… particularly in spring when temperature is still low (new plants)

Root system of 1 plant up to 50 km long!

Main rooting depth: 30-40 cm, max. up to 150 cm.

Early fertilization doesn‘t stimulate the root to grow.

… stimulates root growth for more stability

…avoids yield loss caused by a small root system which cannot take up enough water and nutrients

Cereals grow best between 15 and 25 ° C, if temperature > 30°C: 150 kg/ha yield loss per day! In dense stands with poor root system also more!!

… mitigates heat stress with antioxidants

… strengthens the plants own repair mechanisms with amino acids

Transplanting causes stress, if the stresslevel is high development is slowed down

Particularly vulnerable phase to drought and heat

… reduces the probability of ice formation

… enriches the cells with antioxidants and sugars

Shorter growing time to harvest brings economical benefit for farmer

High quality standard – nitrate proofing

… Demonstrably lower nitrogen content

… Advanced ripening, higher yield

Maize is sawn late (April)

Germination and early development should be optimal – no compacted soil or small pores

… Better soil structure, so that the seed reaches the soil water horizon faster

… Stabilizes the pores for a good root development

Yield parameter are determined early in the plant (6 -11 leaves stage)

Any stress at this time decreases the yield

… Helps the maize plant to cope with stress (preventive and curative)

… Fast development from germination to flowering

OSR has very small seeds

Good germination requires a fine and
homogenous with few straw residues!

… improves the decomposition of residues

… “loosens” the soil – good soil structure

The growth of the tap root is affected by compacted soil.

The rap root goes very deep – up to 1,20 m

… acts against soil compaction by activating of soil life

“helps the soil to help itself”

Need acidic soil – optimal pH 4-4.5

Higher pH prevent mycorrhiza root colonization

… pH value AMALGEROL ESSENCE: 5 – 6

Blueberries (as most Ericaceae) in their natural habitats live always in symbiosis with mycorrhiza (e.g. Pezizella ericae)

… positive effect on mycorrhiza colonization

… synergy

Shallow rooted
so they need permanent moisture

… increases the root system

… better water uptake
=> reduced water consumption

Potassium (K) is the most important nutrient, also for water regulation

… contains 3 % organic potassium (K)

… facilitates the genereal nutrient uptake

Oilseed rape needs many nutrients for their growth and high yield

A big root system ensures the uptake of the available nutrients

… increases nutrient availability in the soil

The pods are most important organs for assimilation

Long ripening time of the pods is necessary

… early flowering

Big problems with Western corn root worm (Diabrotica virgifera)

A big root system is the best insurance against Diabrotica feeding damage and drought

… Stimulates root growth which can partly compensate feeding damage

… Mitigates drought stress

Susceptible to Fusarium

Infection from previous crop residues (e.g. cereals)

… Improves straw decomposition and thus lowers the risk for Fusarium transfer

Perennial crop (more than 1 year)

Sustainable soil management is needed

… Activates soil life

… Improves nitrogen mineralisation

Potassium is particularly important

A lack of potassium reduces the wine quality (withering) and the resistance to frost and fungi

… Contains organic potassium easy to absorb via the leaves

… increases nutrient availability in the soil

Organic matter content of soil
should be 4 – 5 %
(grows well on peat, but also sawdust and bark mulch foster root growth)

… rich in organic matter

… helps organic matter decomposition in the soil

Need well-drained and aerated soil,
high water demand

Low drought tolerance (many stomata on the leaf underside: 500/mm²), shallow roots, therefore susceptible to drought

… Improves water retension in the soil

… fosters root growth, particularly fine roots

Growth period – after harvest – for the plant time to store energy in the roots

Perennials up to 20 years

… activates sprouting in spring

… reduces stress during hot and dry summer times

High nutrient demand – „heavy feaders“

Organic fertilization better than mineral because very salt-sensitive

… prevents from hollow stalks

… safe due to low salt concentration

Susceptible to salinisation

(sensible fertilization required)

… less mineral fertilizer needed due to vital soil life – bacteria make nutrients available from organic matter

Susceptible to winter frost and late frost

High evaporation due to wind (many stomata) decreases the temperature further

… reduces the probability of ice formation

… enriches the cells with antioxidants and sugars

Susceptible to winter damage
below – 12°C
(frost, rhizome dry out)

… accelerates root growth after planting in summer => results in stronger plants for winter

Flowers are susceptible to late frost below – 2 °C

Pistils turn black and fruit is not set or misshaped

… reduces the probability of ice formation

… enriches the cells with antioxidants and sugars
