Plant Priming: How to naturally enhance crop resistance with Fyto-6
In response to climate change and growing environmental challenges, naturally strengthening plant defenses has become a strategic priority for sustainable agriculture. Discover how plant priming, particularly with the innovative product Fyto-6, enhances crop resilience.
What is plant Priming?
Plant priming is a natural mechanism that improves crops’ ability to effectively defend against external aggressions. Whether facing biotic stresses (fungal and bacterial diseases, pest attacks) or abiotic stresses (drought, salinity, extreme temperatures), priming enables plants to mount an optimized immune response to these challenges.
Through this technique, pre-treated crops activate their natural defense systems more efficiently than untreated ones, providing them with a decisive advantage against environmental stresses.
How does Priming work?
Priming operates through a precise molecular mechanism: it pre-activates specific pathways in plant cells without immediately triggering an energy-intensive defense response. Thus, when stress occurs, the immune response is already “prepared” to be rapidly activated.
This biological anticipation relies notably on the action of key enzymes, identified by scientific research, which play a crucial role in the plant’s responsiveness and defense effectiveness.
How does Fyto-6 activate plant Priming?
Resulting from advanced research conducted by FytoFend’s scientific teams in close collaboration with several universities, Fyto-6 is the first biostimulant approved EU-wide to effectively activate plant priming.
Fyto-6 induces targeted overexpression of several fundamental enzymes for priming.
Two of them play a particularly decisive role:
- MFP1 Enzyme: Directly acts at the plant DNA level. By regulating gene expression, it allows plants to react immediately and effectively upon stress detection. Following Fyto-6 application, research shows that the overexpression of this protein increases by 150 to 200%.
- RNA Helicase Enzyme: Enhances the regulation of RNA molecules, essential for rapidly producing proteins involved in defense mechanisms. Its expression increases up to 150% after treatment with Fyto-6, making biological responses to stress particularly swift and effective.
What are the concrete benefits for your Crops?
Applying Fyto-6 effectively “preconditions” your crops, strengthening their ability to adapt and survive in a changing environment. By ensuring proactive defense against stresses, you reduce the risks of significant yield losses, sustainably improve the quality of your agricultural productions, while potentially reducing the use of chemical treatments.
Thus, Fyto-6 represents an innovative and sustainable solution for environmentally friendly, economically viable, and biologically resilient agriculture.
