New RETROSAL® from Valagro arrives in Brazil

After being launched in Spain, Egypt, Mexico and Italy, new RETROSAL® is being officially presented to the Brazilian market

From 21st to 30th November, the Valagro do Brasil team will be presenting new RETROSAL® in the north-east region of the country, with various field days and Valagro Academy events organised with some of Valagro's main distributors such as Agricola Famosa and Copy Fruit.
Producers and technicians will get the chance to discover all the benefits of RETROSAL® and its upgraded formula. In addition to calcium, which promotes the dispersion of sodium particles, restoring excellent physical and chemical conditions in the soil, the new RETROSAL® is enriched with a specific combination of active ingredients that can improve crop nutrition under conditions of salt stress, helping them to remain healthy and encouraging higher productivity and better quality.
The new formulation of RETROSAL® was created by GeaPower (GEA 216), Valagro's exclusive technology platform based on a combination of state-of-the-art research methodologies. In particular, the effectiveness of the new RETROSAL® has been demonstrated by genomic and phenomic tests on crops sensitive to salinity stress, conducted in collaboration with some of the best international research centres such as the University of Milan and the Agrobios Research Centre (Matera), which specifically collaborated in the field of phenomics research. In addition, these methodologies were supported by the microphenotyping platform developed by Valagro's R&D team, which was used for the first time. The use of this technology highlighted a significant increase of biomass in plants treated with the new RETROSAL®, confirming the biostimulating effect on plants under salt stress. Finally, the launch of RETROSAL® was preceded by a rigorous series of field tests conducted with the collaboration of the best experimental centres in the world (84 tests in 6 different countries). These tests were carried out on horticultural crops such as tomatoes, lettuce, melon and peppers, and fruit crops
