Maximize your 2025 almond harvest with enhanced flower formation strategies. The tree's physiological functions heavily rely on its stored resources, facing challenges from both abiotic and biotic stressors. To overcome limitations in root nutrient uptake, foliar feeding becomes indispensable. Ensuring a balance of primary, secondary macronutrients, and micronutrients is crucial for sustaining tree vigor and yield. Additionally, incorporating amino acids is key for optimizing key processes such as promoting photosynthesis, combating low temperature stress, and facilitating nutrient transport within the tree. #almondbloom #cagrown #aminoacids

Silicon, the second most abundant element in Earth's crust, is everywhere. It’s no surprise that it’s highly beneficial for plant health. ?? Depending on who you ask—scientists, regulators, farmers, or marketers—you’ll hear silicon described in different ways. While plant scientists consider it as a nutrient, it’s still classified as non-essential. However, many argue it should be classified as essential nutrient, or maybe as "quasi-essential". Then from a regulatory perspective, it is considered a "beneficial substance". We can spend all day debating what this amazing element actually is, but what it does is far more interesting. And the list of benefits is long. ?? In our latest blog, we discuss: - The role of monosilicic acid (bioavailable silicon) as the most effective form for plants to absorb and utilize silicon. - How silicon boosts resistance to abiotic stress (salinity, heavy metals, UV, drought, heat, frost). - The role of silicon in improving nutrient uptake and distribution of elements like calcium, that have traditionally been considered immobile. While there’s still much to learn about monosilicic acid's full potential, we’ve yet to see a crop that Dune (our stabilized monosilicic acid) doesn’t benefit. Applied at surprisingly low rates, silicon delivers more on its own than many complex products with higher input rates.

Iron, a crucial element for chlorophyll formation, is essential in preventing plant tissue chlorosis and maintaining optimal photosynthesis levels. Additionally, it plays a key role in nitrogen fixation( leguminous crops) and overall plant growth. Azospirillum brasilense, known for producing siderophores, which are iron-complexing molecules, facilitates iron acquisition from the soil environment. However, unfavorable soil conditions such as alkalinity can hinder the bioavailability of iron. Understanding the role of biology can help ensure plants effectively absorb the necessary iron for their growth and development. #PlantHealth #IronNutrition #AgriculturalScience #soil#biology

In our latest article, Marie Turner explores the critical role microbes play in the vitality of plants. Drawing parallels from studies on germ-free mice–organisms raised in sterile environments that suffer from underdeveloped immune systems and increased susceptibility to disease–Marie emphasizes that, like animals, plants have co-evolved with diverse microbial communities essential for their growth and resilience. The major takeaways: ?? Microbes enhance plant immunity, boosting tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress. ?? Beneficial bacteria break down organic matter, making unavailable nutrients more accessible to plants. ?? Microbial interactions influence plant hormones pathways, promoting robust root development and overall growth. Marie concluded that microbes aren't a luxury item but a fundamental component of healthy plant ecosystems. Share and read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gRps9SFY

Silicon. What is it? It’s a lot of things. It’s an element, that’s a nutrient, that works as a bio-stimulant. Silicon has always been there, but the benefits had not been observed until more recently because it is not bio-available in our soils. Silicon is only plant available in the form of orthosilic acid, also known as monosolic acid Si(OH)4. This is readily available to the plant, and is taken up typically within hours of coming into contact with roots or shoots. What does it do? It does a lot of things, but in short it strenghtens cell walls. This in turn helps with nutrient transport throughout the plant as the vascular system is strengthened, increasing sap pressure, which moves water more efficiently and therefore nutrients with it. Immobile nutrients such as Calcium and Boron are not impossible to move, they are just more difficult to translocate. Having a strong and reinforced vascular system helps with this. In a recent study conducted with our monosilicic acid, Dune, on frost damaged citrus we observed both Calcium and Boron stabilization within the plant. Initially there were large differences in concentration of those nutrients in the different parts of the canopy, but after 5 days they started to stabilize. A calcium acetate along with our amino acid product, Lumina, was applied at this point. The calcium levels were observed again 5 days later and were hightened and uniform throughout the plant. What does this mean? Dune is helping the plant to move water and nutrients more efficiently, assuring that plant is more uniform throughout in nutrient levels. The benefit here is that Dune can help the plant to stabilize deficiencies on its own, while better delivering nutrients it is applied with. In cases where immobile nutrients are applied as a foliar, your coverage is critical. The sprayer must be calibrated perfectly to cut down on the potential of deficiencies in the case where contact with the plant tissues is not achieved. Dune can help take the weight off of having to have perfect spray coverage by being the vehicle to more efficiently move water and nutrients once inside the plant. If you are interested in learning more about our recent study or the benefits that Dune can provide for you, olease reach out.

?? Silicon (Si) strengthens the plant cell walls, promoting upright plant stature and improved resistance to abiotic stresses. ? The most readily absorbable form of silicon for plants is monosilicic acids (MSAs), also known as Orthosilicic acids (OSAs). ?? Many products are silicate compounds (e.g., potassium or calcium silicate) that must undergo silification—microbial and mineral weathering—to convert into MSAs. ???? Leveraging MSAs in your agricultural practices can enhance plant resilience, improve growth, and mitigate stress. “We apply Dune, Impello's stabilized monosilicic acid, at 2 mL per gallon every 10 days. Dune promotes robust root growth by improving nutrient uptake. We observe increased root mass, finer root hairs, and an improved ability of plants to absorb water and nutrients from the growing medium. These benefits lead to healthier plants overall, as a well-developed root system is the foundation for strong vegetative growth and better yields. It helps mitigate stress and enhances root resilience.” – Peter Wall, Senior Grower and Manager at Meadow View Growers ?? #impellobio #impellobiosciences #impellodune #monosilicicacid #betterwithbiology
