Netherlands: MusaCare CP stimulates natural resistance against black sigatoka
"The nutritional effects of MusaCare CP combined with the ability of the phosphite to stimulate the production of metabolites makes MusaCare CP a versatile product," said Sebastian Sanchez Gerritsen, Sales Manager LATAM of Ceradis. "Due to the mineral and organic nature of MusaCare CP, the product is safe for user and environment, does not have residue restrictions and no pre-harvest or re-entry limitations."
"The strengthening and systemic protection of the plant by MusaCare CP reduces the use of conventional chemical fungicides." said Milton Galan, Technical Manager LATAM of Ceradis. The product recommended application rate is of 1.5kg/ha and can be mixed with mineral spray oil, emulsifier and fungicides in a typical tank mix with a spray volume of 20 – 25 liters / ha, as used in aerial applications.
MusaCare CP is a granular semi-organic fertilizer developed for foliar application, providing high concentrations of phosphorous (P) and potassium (K). The increased level of available P ensures ideal energy availability, while the increased levels of K boost the banana plants metabolic efficiency. As a result, banana plants become stronger and increase their yield.
In 2007, Ceradis Colombia Ltda. was founded to develop innovative and environmental products for the Latin American markets. MusaCare®CP is the first product developed by Ceradis B.V., based on the partnership between fundamental research in Wageningen University and applied research in Latin America.
