Growers can be poised for abundant crops, only to see their production take a major hit due to a stress event like a heatwave or cold spell. 

Abiotic stress can be detrimental to any crop. A weakened plant can also be more susceptible to biotic stresses like pests and disease. 

Redox Corporate Agronomist John Kelly said stress losses can be lessened when fields and orchards have proper nutrition that encourages strong plants, soil health, root growth and abiotic stress defense.  He said diKaP™ has long proven itself as a tremendous boost in this area. 

“It’s a powerful biostimulant that also includes phosphorus and potassium nutrition,” he said. “diKaP™ stimulates the plant for better respiration. With better respiration, there’s more energy ultimately coming into the plant,  which means that plant now has resources to withstand stress.” 

He said advancements in Redox technology can help growers succeed.

“I’ve never been more enthusiastic,” Kelly said. “Where there’s a motivation for change. Where there’s motivation to improve for higher crop performance, that’s where the opportunity is for Redox, to help identify what can be done to improve the bottom line.
