How does Vidi Terrum work?
Plants use carbohydrates and nitrogen, amongst other things, to produce proteins in the leaves. These proteins are essential for strengthening cell walls, enzyme activity and internal plant signaling. Protein synthesis starts with the formation of amino-acids. A plant is typically able to naturally produce 20 known essential amino acids. However, a healthy mix of natural L-amino acids will support efficient protein synthesis, especially when there are limiting conditions.
By promoting effective protein synthesis there are a multitude of knock-on benefits, including: a reduction in the build-up of nitrates that in turn attract unwanted pests, an increased opportunity to maintain crop and assimilate balance, quicker recovery from stress, and maintaining the metabolic engine of the plant throughout the crop production cycle.
Amino acids are building blocks for proteins that are essential for the maintenance and growth of all living organisms, including plants. For optimal plant growth and performance, it is therefore important that a rich variation in L-form amino acids are available to the crop. The unique properties of Vidi Terrum, the inputs and precise extraction process, ensure the plant based amino acids are easily absorbed and assimilated through the leaves and roots.
How to use Vidi Terrum
Application methods
- Shake the jerry can with Vidi Terrum thoroughly before use
- The application tank should be filled with half the required water prior to adding the Vidi Terrum
- Add the correct amount of Vidi Terrum to the spray solution
- Mix thoroughly
- Fill up the application tank
- Apply
- Optimum response only occurs when the product is taken up by the plant, either through the roots or leaves
- A separate tank/container is recommended for the proper preparation and application of the products
- Always apply Vidi Terrum to the irrigation water after the sand filter, ideally directly injected at the irrigation valve (by means of a Dosatron or Venturi)
- Avoid drainage in substrates when applying drench/drip applications to prevent leaching
- Make sure Vidi Terrum does not remain in the irrigation system during the night
- Use disinfectants regularly to keep the irrigation system clean, but do not use Vidi Terrum at the same time as the disinfectant
- Ensure that the concentration of Vidi Terrum is higher than 200ppm at the plant
- Ensure that the drench reaches the root zone. Penetrant adjuvants can be applied to assist transport to the root zone
- Always ensure that the spray tank is clean
- Ensure good crop coverage
- Application rates are based on 1000 litres spray volume per ha
- Optimize crop response with addition of a sticker adjuvant
- Low volume, cold mist equipment
- Ensure good crop coverage
