FARM CATALOGUE 2018

This is a catalogue for those who love agriculture. It is for those who have cultivation
in their blood, a family legacy. It is for those who chose it for their career and for
those who found it by chance and never left.
It is for farmers, who with their products feed the world, and also for distributors,
who with their work offer knowledge and technical support to the former.
It is for the people who work at Valagro, those who every day bring a dream to
reality: to give our customers effective and innovative solutions. And it is dedicated
to all those who work in the industry every day with dedication and passion.
We believe that agriculture is there for everyone, but especially for those who work
within it with commitment and innovation, and have something more to offer about
the growing challenge of nutrition.

Benefit PZ + MC Cream
Perfect synergy
Synergy is defined as cooperation between two or more elements for achieving a common aim, in our
case, greater fruit size. This is what happens when we apply together BENEFIT® PZ and MC CREAM, the
first acts on cell division, the second on cell distension.
The active ingredients of the formulation of the two VALAGRO products are complementary and
synergic. BENEFIT® PZ contain biomolecules which stimulate the cytokinesis of the fruit (cell division),
inducing an increase in the number of cells produced over time.
The higher protein needs of the plant, due to the increased cell division, is supported by the amino
acids and vitamins provided by BENEFIT® PZ. At the same time, MC CREAM provides betaine, natural
growth factors and amino acids. These active phytoingredients stimulate plant metabolic activity and
photosynthesis, promoting moreover cell distension processes.

CASE STUDY ON TOMATO

* The growth of the fruit starts after the flower has
been successfully pollinated and fertilised.
Cell division begins after fertilisation, starting
from the final phase of flowering, and lasting up
to 14 days. This period is followed by 6-7 weeks
of cell expansion, during which the fruit’s volume
increases rapidly. Once the fruit has reached its
final size, it begins to mature.

process that has allowed us to improve the product formulation, enhancing
the effectiveness on activation of metabolic processes related to the
interruption of plants dormancy.
ERGER® contains selected diterpenes, polysaccharides; it is also enriched
with calcium and nitrogen (in the nitric, ammoniacal and ureic forms).
Thanks to this formulation, Erger® is particularly effective in deciduous
fruit crops where it advances and synchronises bud break and reduces

the number of blind buds. The positive effects can also be noted during
the ripening of the fruits: Erger® anticipates ripening, uniforms fruit

The Plant Dormancy Network

We started a collaboration with “Nsure” to investigate the molecular aspects behind Erger® in using Next Generation Technology.
Next Generation Sequencing technology: It is an innovative technology for the detection of all expressed genes, even for crops whose genome has not yet
been sequenced.

This revolutionary technology is very important for us:

Discovery of the genes involved in bud break;
Dormancy-related genes modulated by Erger® mode of action, optimize application timing and dosage;
Objective approach, since the effect of Erger may vary, depending on orchard, season and growing conditions;
Correlation with physiological data.

We know Ascophyllum nodosum

like nobody else!
The MC LINE is range of technical solutions based on active phytoingredients derived from the algae
Ascophyllum nodosum, a brown algae of the Fucaceae family, the sole species of the Ascophyllum
genus. It reproduces on the North American, northern European coasts of the Atlantic Ocean and it
is also known as the Norwegian algae, as it is very widespread in that area. The specific conditions MC SET
Ascophyllum nodosum grows it ensures that it is out of the water for long periods of time and submerged
for other periods. Also, it thrives in areas with extreme variation of day length; many hours of light in
summer and darkness in winter. The changes of temperature and humidity are therefore very intense
and in order to survive, Ascophyllum nodosum developed during its evolution a series of substances
with antistress properties.
These substances are extracted, selected and used for the production of Valagro nutritional specialities.
In more than 75 years of experience, Valagro has chemically and physically characterized 95%
of Ascophyllum nodosum. The knowledge of t he raw materials, the sustainable harvest methods,
advanced production processes and extraction methods as well as the physiological functions of the
active ingredients allow us to create products suitable for any need, in order always to get the best,

Evidence of the phenomic approach

about the anti-stress activity of Megafol
®

In agriculture, abiotic stress is defined as any environmental pressure, which can reduce the potential
productivity of a crop. Environmental stresses are the primary limiting factors for agricultural
productivity. When the values of temperature, light intensity, water availability and/or nutrients
diverged from the optimum values the crop yield can be seriously damaged or, in extreme cases,
destroyed. Because of stresses, many yields are much less than their potential with significant
production losses. MEGAFOL

MEGAFOL® PROTEIN maximises the value of wheat and alfalfa crops, by naturally promoting an higher
concentration of proteins. Its outstanding results are attested by highly accurate genomic analysis and numerous
trials throughout the world.

MEGAFOL PRO

MEGAFOL® PROTEIN is also cost-effective because it can be used with other foliar fertilisers and phytosanitary
products (PPP). This is the reason why, a constant use of MEGAFOL® PROTEIN can considerably increase your
business.

Higher protein quantity and better digestibility of alfalfa.

Alfalfa is the most cultivated forage legume in the world. It is a good source of protein, calcium, oligoelements and
vitamins, which make it a balanced meal for livestock.
MEGAFOL® PROTEIN naturally increases the protein content of alfalfa of up to +34.3. At the same time, it
promotes the digestibility of the fibre, as confirmed by its low NDF (Natural Detergent Fiber) index.
The double action of MEGAFOL® PROTEIN guarantees an higher value to alfalfa crops and better feed

Trial carried out on lettuce.

As shown in the figure on the right, when treated with Retrosal®, plants grown on saline soil manifest higher performances compared to stressed plants,
especially in terms of digital biomass production. Retrosal® treatment is associated not only with higher biomass, but also with higher green index, a
parameter related to chlorophyll content, which indicates a better photosynthetic activity of plants. Moreover, plants treated with Retrosal®, show better
water retention capacity than those untreated.

Genomic Approach:
a technique used
to improve our products
Our genomic research approach allows Valagro to greatly accelerate the screening process for the
substances to be used in the formulation of our nutritional products. The genomic approach also allows
us to use the scientific method to confirm the features assigned by Valagro to their nutritional products.
This uses a survey technique that allows us to investigate the ability of a substance to enable the
functionality of one or more genes, and thus to accelerate one or more metabolic processes. Our
genomic approach uses MicroArray technology - commonly known as “Gene Chip” - introduced in the
90s for studying human genetic diseases.
The technology has recently been extended to plant physiology research. This was made possible
after the mapping of the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana, published in 2000 in “Science”. Through this
technology, Valagro can understand the true contribution of each component in the formula of any
product ina timely and objective manner.

The use of micronutrients based products made up of salts or chelates with synthetic agents can cause problems
of limited penetration, leaching and reduced selectivity. The fast and complete water solubility of Brexil’s

FOCUS ON LSA
LSA (Ammonium Lignin Sulphonate) is a complexing agent derived from various sources of lignin, differing
according to the species it is extracted from. Lignin is formed from the polymerisation of three hydroxycinnamyl
alcohols, also called monolignols.
They are p-coumaryl, coniferyl and sinapinic alcohols. The ratio between the three monolignols in the lignin
molecule is important in influencing the complexing capacity and the release of micronutrients within the tissues.
Valagro’s technology allows the most appropriate plant species to be chosen and the most innovative extraction
methods to be used in order to obtain a lignin with an optimised ratio of the three monolignols. This translates into
a high complexing capacity of micronutrients and the natural selectivity and facility of penetration within
the plant tissues which are a feature of the products in the Brexil® line. The following is a schematic illustration of
the leaf absorption process and the release of nutrients performed by the complexing agent LSA.

Ferrilene Trium, the first chelate resulting

Essential nutrients can interact with the iron within the plant, causing deficiency symptoms. Among the
most important of these interactions there is the ionic Fe/Mn ratio. Generally, the antagonism between
the two trace elements, especially when the iron is supplied in the form of EDDHA/SA, restricts the
availability of Mn as they are interdependent. An excess of one of the two, in plant tissues, conditions
the content of the other proportionally. In the leaf, the reactivity of the iron depends on its oxidisation
status. Manganese has greater oxidisation potential than iron, and oxidises the excess and transforms
it into inactive iron, which is immobilised by the phosphates which form an iron phosphate complex
(phosphoprotein, called phytoferritin which forms an iron reserve within the plant). The equilibrium
of this mechanism is fundamental as any excess of iron is temporarily stored in the leaf and reused if
needed.

Where there is an imbalance between iron and

If you alter this equilibrium, you have an excess of ferrous ions with manganese, the following conditions can occur:
symptoms of secondary deficiency »» in a solution with excess iron, the dynamic
equilibrium between the two elements is lost
FE++ + Mn++++ FE+++ + Mn++ and secondary symptoms appear due to the
excess of ferrous ions, with symptoms similar
to those due to manganese deficiency;
»» when there is an excess of manganese, the
FE+++ + PO4--- FEPO4 new leaves of the plant appear chlorotic,
with symptoms similar to those due to iron
deficiency. The excess of manganese causes
excessive oxidisation from Fe2+ to Fe3+,
making it insoluble and therefore not usable
by the cells.

In open field cultivation, iron chlorosis becomes a secondary problem, hiding the chlorosis caused FERRILENE
by manganese deficiency. Correcting the first often ensures that the second appears and aggravates.
This phenomenon has occurred on various situations and has been verified by numerous researchers.
Therefore, the Fe/Mn ratio in nutritional solutions is more important than the individual concentrations
of Fe and Mn. Various field trials and tests conducted using the phenomic approach have shown that
the problem of chlorosis does not depend only by the iron and can be efficiently solved with a multi-
strategy approach

Evidence from the phenomic approach

A trial on kiwifruit was performed at the AGROBIOS research centre in Metaponto. The efficacy of
FERRILENE TRIUM was tested comparing the product with an iron chelate 4.8 (o-o) and an untreated
control. Chlorosis was induced in kiwi plants using an appropriate substrate. The trial plants were
analysed with a Lemnatec 3-D Scanalyzer and the following parameters were measured: digital
biomass; dark green colour classes; photosynthetic activity, greening speed; persistence of action. The
figure illustrates the images of the digital biomass and dark green colour classes. The photos show how
the plants treated with Ferrilene Trium indicate an efficient chlorosis solution and an improvement over
chelate 4.8 o-o.

Focus on Deficient Nutrient

Toxicity (DNT)
Defined as a loss of plant growth due to a pesticides toxicity. This problem occurs in both annual (row
crops) and perennial (orchards) crops. The degree of toxicity depends on the type of crop, rotation, use
of pesticides (amount and frequency).
DNT is not caused by lack of available nutrients but to an inability of the plant to absorb and utilize
various nutrients due to a “toxic” zone in the root rhizosphere.
When the pesticide moves through the plant and it is exudated from the roots into the rhizosphere,
it impacts negatively on root hairs, bacteria (including the nitrogen fixing ones), and other beneficial
microbial functions that are necessary for nutrient utilization. Furthermore inside the plant the
pesticide interferes with the nutrients (mainly Mn), blocking and making them unavailable for the plant,
thus chlorosis appear. Furthermore the plant spends more metabolic energy to overcome this problem,
reducing its growth.

CASE STUDY: Mn deficiency on glyphosate-tollerant CROPS

Generally glyphosate application or soil carryover in glyphosate-tolerant (GT) crops induces positive-
ion nutrient deficiencies. In the case of manganese (Mn), the most prevalent nutrient deficiency,
is sometimes evidenced by yellow “flashing” symptoms due to a complex formed between Mn and
glyphosate, which reduces Mn translocation in the plant.
