Iranian Company Makes Product to Reduce Thirst Stress in Trees
“This company has patented two products for farmers active in planting pistachios, and the problem of these farmers at the beginning of the hot season is that the leaves of pistachio trees are sunburned and suffer from thirst stress,” Nazanin A’zami, the sales manager of the technological company, told ANA.
“To settle this problem, our company has started making a product called Knox 95, which is a strong coating and reduces thirst stress by covering the entire surface of the tree. It completely eliminates sunburn and reduces the temperature of the tree by 3 to 5 degrees,” she added.
Noting that farmers have always been concerned about being able to have a fruit set (fertilizer) that also contains calcium and phosphorus, A’zami said, “Therefore, the specialists of our company created fruit set which contains calcium and phosphorus, and this problem was eliminated for farmers. Fruit Set fertilizer is one of the most effective compounds for improving the flowering and reproductive growth of trees and helps in greater fertility and fruiting.”
In a relevant development in October, specialists at an Iranian knowledge-based company stationed at the Science and Technology Park of Sharif University of Technology had also succeeded in producing water-soluble sulfur fertilizers to improve quality of soil.
“One of the characteristics of this product is the amendment of agricultural soils which means that the fertilizer corrects soil salinity in the long term and makes the plant resistant to environmental shocks,” said Alireza Tavassoli Raad, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.
“This fertilizer is a special and enriched type of liquid sulfur fertilizers that contains three substances of sulfur, potassium and nitrogen as the most important nutrients needed by plants,” he added.
“This product is an ideal choice for gardeners and farmers who want to save time, effort and money when fertilizing agricultural crops and seek higher productivity,” Tavassoli Raad said, adding that using a liquid sulfur fertilizer is a smart choice for anyone who wants to promote the growth and health of their crops and improve their performance.
“One of the most important features of this fertilizer is its high ability to repel pests and control plant diseases. This fertilizer is effective in eliminating fungal diseases like powdery mildew, mold, rust, brown and black spots, root and crown diseases, and repels pests like aphids and even the resistant pest of pistachio psyllium. On the other hand, this product strengthens the plant's defense mechanisms and makes the plant more resistant to pests,” he underlined.
