New agricultural technology acts as a "vaccine" and reduces the effects of stress on plants

“We are witnessing annual climate changes in Brazil. Last year, high temperatures prevailed, with some states suffering long periods of drought and the most intense cold, all of which contribute to plant stress, especially water stress, reducing their production,” explains Everton Molina Campos, agricultural engineer and marketing director of Agrilife Solutions. To assist producers facing these challenges, Agrilife Solutions, a Brazilian company specialized in efficient nutrition and biosolutions, has launched VacStress, an exclusive technology composed of a patented molecule with signaling action that acts as a “vaccine” for plants. This new solution reduces and controls productive losses caused by abiotic stresses, such as drought and heat, and can be applied both in seed treatment and in the planting furrow. VacStress prepares the plant for rapid natural responses, stimulating osmoprotectants and antioxidants and maintaining cellular balance in stressful environmental ...
