Cherry production in Chile is at a crucial moment, with expectations of reaching a new historical record this year, with 115 million boxes. However, this achievement is not possible without adequate phytosanitary protection that guarantees the health and productivity of the orchards. Why? Because when the trees come with a lot of fruit, it is necessary that they are at 100% of their metabolic capacity, that is, that they develop in optimal sanitary and nutritional conditions. In this context, Tavan Chile's biotechnological products, specifically BACTOFUS and V6, play a fundamental role.
BACTOFUS: An innovative solution for crop protection
BACTOFUS, developed by Tavan Chile, is a biostimulant and liquid foliar fertilizer designed to increase the resistance of plant cell walls. This translates into greater strength against biotic and abiotic stresses, including frost, drought and nutritional deficiencies. Among its main benefits are:
• Broad pathogen management: Protects crops against a wide variety of fungi and bacteria.
• Fast-acting foliar application: Guarantees effective results in less time.
• SAR Activator: Strengthens the natural resistance of plants, promoting more robust crops.
• Zero waste: Ensures that crops are safe for consumption.
In addition, BACTOFUS supports drone application, ensuring uniform and efficient coverage in fields.
The synergy of BACTOFUS and V6
The combination of BACTOFUS with V6 offers comprehensive protection against external infections. V6 complements BACTOFUS by further strengthening cell walls, making them more resistant to attack by fungi and bacteria. Together, these products not only have a preventive effect, but also a curative one, providing a robust defence for cherry crops.
One of the biggest phytosanitary challenges for cherry trees is bacterial canker, caused by the bacteria Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringaeThis disease can cause significant production losses if not managed properly. To meet this challenge, Tavan Chile recommends a comprehensive program that includes applications of BACTOFUS, V6 and PH4. This approach not only fights the bacteria directly, but also strengthens the plants' immune system, activating its SAR system and promoting the expression of key defensive proteins.
Make the most of record production
The adoption of BACTOFUS and V6 in phytosanitary management programs is crucial to ensure a record cherry production this year. These biotechnological products from Tavan Chile not only offer an effective and safe solution to protect crops, but also promote more sustainable and responsible agriculture. With BACTOFUS and V6, producers can be sure that their orchards will be protected and ready to offer the best to the market.
In a year where record production is expected, the importance of maintaining healthy orchards cannot be underestimated. Thanks to BACTOFUS and V6, farmers have at their disposal cutting-edge tools to face phytosanitary challenges and ensure a high-quality, abundant harvest.
