Description
Armurox is a plant biostimulant, developed by Bioiberica, that uses a dual-action approach to protect crops from pests and diseases. It works by both creating a physical barrier on plant surfaces and activating the plant’s internal defense mechanisms. This is achieved through a combination of water-soluble silicon and free amino free amino acids, formulated using Enzyneer technology. It is used to mitigate both biotic and abiotic stresses, helping to reduce damage from sucking pests, fungal diseases like powdery mildew, and mechanical damage.
What Armurox is and how it works
- Composition: Armurox contains water-soluble silicon and free amino acids, making it easily absorbable by plants.
- Mechanism:
- Physical barrier: The silicon forms a double layer on the plant’s cuticle, creating a physical barrier that prevents pests and pathogens from penetrating.
- Internal defense: The amino acids and other peptide compounds activate the plant’s own endogenous defense mechanisms.
- Benefits:
- Pest and disease protection: It helps protect against damage from pests like thrips and diseases such as powdery mildew.
- Stress mitigation: It helps plants cope with both biotic (living organisms) and abiotic (environmental) stresses.
- Tissue strengthening: It reinforces and thickens plant tissues to prevent mechanical damage.
- Residue-free: It is a residue-free product that contributes to sustainable agricultural practices.
