Blossom® specific for papaya
Blossom is a specific product for papaya, which offers the following benefits:
- To increase the genetical potential of the growing by supporting key processes in the growth of plants
- To provide high-concentration products that is why a small acre-unit is needed
- To increase fruits' productivity
- To increase flowers' productivity.
- To intensify production up to 2 tons per hectare.
- Containing cytokines, gibberellins, auxins and vitamins
Time to apply
Starting from the first month of transplanting, monthly applications should be done. During growing, the product is applied to the foliage to obtain an optimal leaf' growth. Starting from the first appearance and growth of floral primordiums, the product is applied to the floral column and to growing fruits.Concentration
At a rate of 0.3 cm3 per water liter.Applications
The ideal application of this product is direct to a well-fertilized growing. After irrigation, it is applied in the morning avoiding high temperatures. It should not be used when the growing is stressed.
Field Tests
To prove the Blossom® benefits, a test was carried out by producers. The results were the following:

Field test results
By giving an external stimulus to produce growth regulatory substances, the result of monthly blossom® application is an increase of the plant foliage. When the foliage is increased, the photosynthesis is more efficient. Therefore, the quantity of produced flowers and fruits are intensified.
Cost-benefit relation
With regard to the obtained results, the increase of a fruit per plant would give producers an excellent additional benefit. For instance, in a Maradol papaya orchard:
| Number of plants per hectare to the crop: | 2000 |
| Average weight per fruit: | 2 Kg |
| Production increase in blossom-treated crop: | 4 toneladas |
| Average price paid to producers at orchard: | $ 2.50 kg |
| Additional profits obtained by using Blossom® per hectare: | $ 10,000.00 |
Technical support (why does it work?)
The physiological processes of plants are always influenced by environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and luminosity. These factors make plants achieve the synthesis of vegetable growth regulatory substances; such as plant hormones and vitamins among others.The plant is a complex organism in which physiological processes take place, such as breathing and photosynthesis, but also basic processes, such as tissue and organ formation such as flowers, leaves, stems, roots, tubers, etc. There are other internal processes such as the formation or filling of fruits as more complex processes. This process of fruit formation is the most lucrative for growers because of its exploitation of every planting.
