CROP STRESS

CROP STRESS RESULTING FROM HIGH TEMPERATURES, LOW SOIL MOISTURE, LOW TEMPERATURES ETC SIGNIFICANTLY CONTRIBUTE TO DEPRESSED YIELDS

CROPS WITH A DELIBERATE AND SUSTAINED FEEDING PROGRAM RARELY GET STRESSED EVEN UNDER RAINFED FARMING.

THEREFORE THE BEST WAY TO MANAGE STRESS IS FOLLOWING OUR PROGRAM, SINCE OUR PRODUCT CITISHOOTER AN ORGANIC HORMONE ADDRESSES THIS AND ENSURES THE CROP HAS GOOD STRESS TOLERANCE AND VITALITY.

MANAGING ALREADY STRESSED PLANTS IS VERY DIFFICULT AND MAY NOT SUCCEED ALL THE TIME.

CROPS UNDER STRESS CLOSE THEIR STOMATA TO CONSERVE MOISTURE REDUCING PHOTOSYNTHESIS HENCE NO FOOD IS MANUFACTURED

TO ENSURE SURVIVAL PLANTS SEEK TO COMPLETE THE LIFE CYCLE INSTEAD OF PRODUCING MORE YIELDS.

MANY CROPS FLOWER BEFORE THEY ARE MATURE RESULTING IN NO OR LOW YIELDS

TO ENSURE EVEN DURING DROUGHT PERIODS PLANTS PURPOSEFULLY OPEN THEIR STOMATA DURING DAYTIME ENSURING EFFICIENT PHOTOSYNTHESIS, APPLICATION OF OUR PRODUCT CITISHOOTER IS A MUST

ESSENTIALLY THESE CROPS HAVE BETTER STOMATA MANAGEMENT (CONTROLLED TRANSPIRATION) GIVING COOLER PLANTS AND BETTER PHOTOSYNTHESIS RESULTING IN HIGHER YIELDS.

CROPS GO INTO SURVIVAL MODE DURING STRESS AND HENCE START RETARDING THEIR GROWTH

EXAMPLE:MAIZE CROP MATURES IN 4 MONTHS.IT GROWS WELL IN THE FIRST ONE AND HALF MONTHS SINCE GENERALLY RAINFALL IS SUFFICIENT IN THE BEGINNING.IT REACHES KNEE HIGH,AND TOP DRESSING IS DONE.HOWEVER HENCE FORTH RAINFALL IS ERATIC,UNRELIABLE WITH LONG PERIODS OF DRY SPELL.

NATURALLY THE CROP WILL TARSELL AND FORM COMBS.DURING THIS PERIOD WHEN THE CROP IS EXPERIENCING WATER STRESS AS RAINFALL IS NOT SUFFICIENT AND CONTINUES GROWING, BUT THIS TIME AT VERY LOW PLANT EFFICIENCY

DROUGHT RESISTANT VARIETIES ARE DEVELOPED FOR THIS REASON.HOWEVER EVEN SO OPTIMAL YIELDS CANNOT BE ACHIEVED

PLANT ROOTS TAKE UP NUTRIENTS FROM THE SOIL IN SOLUTION FORM

SO UNDER THIS DRY CONDITIONS PLANT WATER UPTAKE HENCE NUTRIENTS IS VERY MINIMAL THEREBY SLOWING GROWTH

THE CROP CLOSE THE STOMATA SUFFOCATING IT AND ULTIMATELY REDUCE METABOLIC PROCESSES INCLUDING PHOTOSYNTHESIS, WHICH IS THE FOOD MANUFACTURING PROCESS.

TO MINIMIZE THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF THIS CHALLENGE WHICH IS THE REALITY IN RAINFED FARMING THE CROP NEEDS TO BE WELL NOURISHED FROM GERMINATION

IN OUR CROP GROWING PROGRAM WE INCORPORATE AN ORGANIC GROWTH HORMONE CALLED CITISHOOTER AS A FOLIAR APPLICATION TO BE APPLIED DURING THE NURSERY STAGE, EARLY GROWTH STAGE, AND VEGETATIVE GROWTH STAGE

CITISHOOTER IS A PROVEN MOST POWERFUL AND EFFECTIVE GROWTH HORMONE.

CITISHOOTER APPLICATION DURING THESE THREE GROWTH STAGES ENSURES HIGH PLANT STRESS TOLERANCE AND SUPER PLANT EFFICIENCY

STRESSED CROPS WITHER AND IF THE STRESS EXCEEDS THE PLANT TOLERANCE LIMIT THE PLANT DIES.

EXAMPLE: IF RAINFALL FAILS FOR ONE MONTH OR MORE FOR A VIBRANT GROWING FOUR MONTH CROP.THE CROP GOES INTO SURVIVAL MODE WITH MINIMAL OR NO MORE GROWTH, DURING THIS TIME. ALL IMPORTANT GROWTH PROCESSES ARE REDUCED.

RAIN SETS BACK AGAIN AFTER ONE MONTH

REMEMBER THE CROP MATURES IN FOUR MONTHS MEANING IT SHOULD BE PHYSIOLOGICALLY TWO AND HALF MONTHS OLD BUT IS NOT. IT IS ACTUALLY ONE AND HALF MONTHS OLD DUE TO NO GROWTH DURING THE ONE MONTH DRY SPELL.

THE CROP WILL TRY TO REVIVE ITSELF TO GROW WITH THE RESTART OF RAIN BUT WILL ALSO TAKE TIME TO REACH FULL PLANT EFFICIENCY THEREBY LOSING MORE NORMAL GROWING TIME.BY MATURITY THIS FOUR MONTH CROP MAY LOSE MORE THAN TWO MONTHS OF NORMAL GROWTH DUE TO WATER STRESS

THEREFORE THE FOUR MONTH CROP GROWS NORMALLY FOR LESS THAN TWO MONTHS AND ABNORMALLY FOR TWO MONTHS HENCE POOR YIELDS WILL DEFINITELY BE ATTAINED

DURING STRESS THE PLANT SEEKS TO COMPLETE THE LIFE CYCLE INSTEAD OF PRODUCING THE YIELD/HARVEST REQUIRED

THIS IS HOW IMPORTANT CROPS SHOULD HAVE HIGH STRESS TOLERANCE

THIS IS ACHIEVED THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF CITISHOOTER

CITISHOOTER ALSO HELPS PLANTS DEVELOP DEFENCE MECHANISMS TO GUARD THE PLANT AGAINST HARSH WEATHER CONDITIONS, THIS INCLUDE DEVELOPING THICK CUTICLES AND LEAF HAIRS

THEREFORE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO GROW A VIBRANT CROP FROM GERMINATION IN A HEALTHY SOIL WITH GOOD FERTILIZATION ENSURING PLANTS PURPOSEFULLY EVEN IN DRY CONDITIONS OPEN STOMATA DURING THE DAY ACHIEVING HIGH LEVELS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND ALSO ENSURE THE PLANT DEVELOPS DEFENCE MECHANISMS TO WITHSTAND THIS DRY CONDITIONS.

REMEMBER THE REAL PROFIT IN FARMING COMES FROM THE QUANTITY OF PRODUCE YOU DID NOT HARVEST YET YOU WERE CAPABLE OF HARVESTING.THIS IS PROFIT LOST SINCE YOU DID NOT USE IMPORTANT GOOD AGRICULTURAL PROCTICES SUCH AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.STRIVE TO MAXIMIZE PRODUCTION TO ENHANCE PROFITABILITY.
