Effects of thiamethoxam insecticide on sugarcane plant growth under chemical ripening at early and late harvest.

Chemical ripeners are applied to ensure the quality of the final product in sugarcane production, especially under unfavorable conditions for sucrose accumulation. In addition, bioactivators such as the insecticide thiamethoxam can stimulate plant development. Thus, the application of thiamethoxam to sugarcane regrowth associated with ripener may have phytotonic effects and improve sugarcane quality and yield.

Can foliar application of soluble monoammonium phosphate effectively alleviate herbicide-induced oxidative stress in key crops?

Phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) directly impact final crop productivity by playing essential roles in photosynthesis, ATP formation, carbon assimilation, cell division, and transport. Compared with nutrient application to soil, the nutrients are applied directly to leaves provides a faster response because the nutrients enter plant metabolism more quickly. Foliar fertilization with nutritional supplements can intend to increase crop yields, and little is known about its ability to reduce oxidative stress.

Foliar Application of Amino Acids and Nutrients as a Tool to Mitigate Water Stress and Stabilize Sugarcane Yield and Bioenergy Generation.

Extended periods of water stress negatively affect sugarcane crop production. The foliar application of supplements containing specific nutrients and/or organic molecules such as amino acids can improve sugarcane metabolism, stalk and sugar yields, and the quality of the extracted juice. The present study assessed the effectiveness of the foliar application of an abiotic stress protection complement (ASPC) composed of 18 amino acids and 5 macronutrients.
