Evaluation Report of the Application of Product Named Almina Established in Afyon Soilless Greenhouses on Tomatoes by Minitalya Tarım (01.02.2023)
METHOD OF APPLICATION: Almina was applied in weekly periods in the form of 1.5 Kg Almina / 100 liters of water in the first two applications, then 1 Kg Almina / 100 liters of water. It is important that this mineral, which has a contact effect, reaches all parts of the plant. Almina should be applied to the entire surface of the plants by wettable spraying. Periodic covering of the developing main stem and branches and new leaves and fruit surfaces as the plant grows is important for effectiveness. It has been observed that, thanks to the high content of Alginic Acid and Silicium, Almina darkens the color of the plant and leaf, expands the leaf blades, increases the thickness of the leaf wall, thus providing a supportive effect on the photosynthesis ability of the plant.
In addition, it has been observed that thanks to the Silicon and Trace Elements in its content, it provides high resistance against breakage and bending, increases the resistance of the stem connections of the bunch stem, and supports the repair of injured plant stems.
Foliar applications leave a fine powder coating on the plant surface. These coatings, which consist of minerals reaching nanometric dimensions, are partially absorbed by the plant, and partially lost by mechanical friction. Although this coating can hold on to the leaves more tightly, it cannot hold on Tomatoes, which grow and increase their volume and have a smooth surface. In order to encourage browning for the tomatoes at harvest time, the leaves are taken and therefore the product on leaves do not cause a problem in the harvested fruit. Almina strengthens the immune system of the plant thanks to the minerals it contains.
In addition, it has been observed that thanks to the Silicon and Trace Elements in its content, it provides high resistance against breakage and bending, increases the resistance of the stem connections of the bunch stem, and supports the repair of injured plant stems.
