Stimulating root growth and improving root quality; generative plant steering
Packaging:Vidi Parva is a liquid formulation sold in 1 litre and 5 litre jerry cans (country specific)
A 100% natural plant based biostimulant manufactured using cold pressed seaweed extracts (Ascophyllum nodosum). Specifically focused on the stimulation of root, as well as initial plant growth on a broad range of horticultural and agricultural crops.
Vidi Parva stimulates root growth and improves root initiation, therefore providing an ideal basis for a strong and healthy crop. It also promotes the development of disease-suppressing bacteria around the roots. Vidi Parva stimulates the formation of root hairs which release exudates to create and maintain the rhizosphere micro-biology. The product also ensures the development of a compact and resilient plant to support proactive crop balance.
By applying Vidi Parva, the plant is able to produce auxins more effectively. Auxins are plant hormones that promote root formation. Plants produce auxins with the help of amino acids. Tryptophan, an essential amino acid in the triggering of natural auxin production is an important component of Vidi Parva. These auxins stimulate the formation of fine roots and root hairs and promote the absorption of nutrients from the rhizosphere. This leads to an increase in the amount of proteins, sugars, and chlorophyll in the crop, resulting in a compact crop with plenty of vitality and vigour.
In addition to stimulating root initiation, Vidi Parva will proactively assist in the generative steering of the crop. This is a useful tool in maintaining crop balance throughout the season.
