The Heat Is On \u2013 for EnNuVi and FOLISTIM<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Do you embrace the chilli pepper, luxuriating in the heat it brings to your favourite dishes, and swapping anecdotes about the Carolina Reaper and Pepper X? Or would you rather enjoy the mild kick of the Serrano, steering clear of anything with a heftier punch?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re of the former persuasion, then it\u2019s likely you\u2019ll also seek out the delights of dried chillis, whether whole or as chilli powder. And there\u2019s a strong likelihood that your favourite spice was grown by one of India\u2019s 100 million farmers.<\/p>\n

Yes, we\u2019re back in India again. It\u2019s a country in which FertiGlobal has great interest<\/a>, as regular blog readers will know from previous writings about ginger<\/a>, apples<\/a>, and cardamom<\/a>.<\/p>\n

India isn\u2019t shy with its agricultural production, ranking at or near the top across a range of common crops. So perhaps it\u2019s no surprise, given the country\u2019s culinary reputation, to discover that India is the world\u2019s biggest producer of dried chillis and peppers, accounting for about 40% of global production. Not just a producer, either: it\u2019s also the biggest consumer and exporter.<\/p>\n

Most of that production is concentrated in the state of Andhra Pradesh, on the country\u2019s east coast. According to official data, chilli cultivation here utilises nearly 200,000 hectares, producing around 1.12m tonnes annually. It\u2019s to that state we headed, with our branch in India SCL Commercial, to explore the potential of the FertiGlobal products Mantus and Semia to help reduce incidence of the most common diseases afflicting the region\u2019s chilli crops.<\/p>\n

A transition to Total Crop Management<\/strong><\/p>\n

As India\u2019s farmers commercialise and move beyond their traditional \u2018homestead\u2019 farming systems, FertiGlobal believes there\u2019s a strong case for introducing them to new, more productive practices \u2013 including the fundamental FertiGlobal principle of Total Crop Management.<\/p>\n

Through Total Crop Management, we think about every crop throughout its lifecycle: what it needs, and what will make it thrive, at every stage of growth. So, as appropriate in each crop, that\u2019s from germination to emergence to flowering to ripening to harvest, and so on.<\/p>\n

Total Crop Management is primarily about crop nutrition. A plant that has its nutritional requirements fully satisfied will be better placed to stimulate and enact its own natural defence processes.<\/p>\n

With Total Crop Management, you get a healthy plant that stays healthy \u2013 because it\u2019s well-placed to defend itself against the invading pathogens that cause disease, depress yields and lower quality.<\/p>\n

FertiGlobal Technologies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Total Crop Management approach is espoused by our Technologies \u2013 the families of products that our R&D team has formulated to provide farmers with sustainable solutions.<\/p>\n

Each Technology combines plant nutrients, biostimulants and bioactivators to deliver specific benefits through particular mechanisms and modes of action within the plant.<\/p>\n

For our chilli trials in India, we focused on our EnNuVi Technology, a patented technology that comprises high analysis formulations with nutrient polyphenolic molecules (NPM). NPMs play a prime role in activating the plant\u2019s natural defences, by helping to manage the right balance between the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). ROS are a natural by-product of photosynthesis, but can be damaging if levels become too high.<\/p>\n

All EnNuVi Technology products work to ENhance the plant\u2019s performance against stress, by NUrturing with NPMs and VItalising the crop for stronger, healthier growth.<\/p>\n

Such is the innovation encapsulated within EnNuVi that it has been recognised within the European Union\u2019s LIFE programme for its objective of reducing the environmental impact of agricultural practices, without compromising the need for food and ever-higher yields.<\/p>\n

EnNuVi in chillis<\/strong><\/p>\n

The village of Lingala, a farming community in the Krishna District of Andhra Pradesh, was the backdrop for our trials. Here, we sought to evaluate the performance of two EnNuVi products \u2013 MANTUS and SEMIA \u2013 on controlling anthracnose, dieback, powdery mildew and wilt diseases.<\/p>\n

Nine farms within Lingala were involved in the trials. In all cases, the FertiGlobal products were compared against treatments made using standard farmer practices (SP).<\/p>\n

Visually, plants treated with the EnNuVi Technology-based products were more upright and greener. In particular, farmers commented on the added \u2018shine\u2019 that the products seemed to impart to the fruits: this was unusually noticeable, and something they attributed to the improved health status of the crop.<\/p>\n

Of course, we\u2019re never happy with subjectivity alone. Yet the farmers\u2019 optimism about their healthier crops wasn\u2019t misplaced: what we saw, amongst all the treatment protocols for MANTUS and SEMIA, was not only an increased number of fruits per plant, but also the lowest number of diseased fruits per plant.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

By adding both MANTUS and SEMIA to their treatments \u2013 which, in this part of India are commonly made by knapsack sprayers \u2013 farmers saw positive returns on investment over SP. Both products showed positive, consistent performance \u2013 convincing the Lingala farmers that EnNuVi Technology would be worthwhile.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

FOLISTIM in chillis<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like EnNuVi, FOLISTIM is a FertiGlobal Technology designed to fulfil our ambition of Total Crop Management. It\u2019s been developed with a specific goal in mind: promoting a vegetative reset in the crop, after periods of stress. Again, its focus is on good nutrition, by optimising plant nutrients to enhance final fruit quality and maximise its storage potential. FOLISTIM not only relieves abiotic stress but can improve resistance to it too.<\/p>\n

With FOLISTIM, we went to the west coast state of Maharashtra. If Andhra Pradesh is known as India\u2019s Chilli Bowl for its high production, then Maharashtra is the Chilli Paradise, producing some of India\u2019s most sought-after chilli varieties such as the Dhani, Jwala, and the famed Bhiwapur.<\/p>\n

Here, we looked at the effects of CREO on yield and commercial quality. Formulated around phosphorus, potassium and boron, it\u2019s designed to support crops in their ripening. Of course, there are several factors involved in optimising ripening, so this became quite an extensive trial, measuring a variety of metrics such as flowers per plant and the numbers dropped, fruits per plant and the numbers dropped, plus plant height and eventual fruit yield.<\/p>\n

Across every metric, CREO-treated plants performed significantly better than those plants receiving SP. Unsurprisingly, therefore, final yields showed significant increases: up to 20% over SP, with the increase delivering a net revenue benefit of nearly USD100 per ha.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a return on investment of 2.68 \u2013 which just goes to show how a Total Crop Management approach not only benefits the plant and the planet, but profitability of the grower too.<\/p>\n
