A sustainable approach for the Best Quality of Rice in agri-food systems

Introduction

Essential immunity represents a characteristic common to animals and plants by having right amount feeding nutrients. Definitely, similar to animals, plants also evolved a complex defense mechanism to defend against pest and disease attacks. Due to the concerns posed by the intensive use of agrochemicals, the possibility to stimulate the plant immune system with environmentally friendly and safe chemical foliar liquid fertilizer without using granule fertilizer, insecticide and fungicide is intriguing. Therefore, SEBRING’S FOLIAR LIQUID FERTILIZER products are commercially available to trigger the plant’s immune system, with benefits in terms of farmer cost, consumer health and environmental protection.

In rice natural ecosystems, they evolved a complex defense system to protect themselves from pests and diseases attacks, if they were fed with the right amount of nutrients. Rice are sessile organisms, which cannot escape the harsh environment. Therefore, the evolutionary success and survival of rice species has depended on their ability to counteract with challenging environmental conditions. However, the natural course of evolution has been altered by man since the beginning of agriculture. Now with SEBRING’s rice foliar liquid fertilizer technology could produce yield and defend against pests and diseases at the same time.

Struggling with depleted rice fields? SEBRING’s MaxPower F1, F2, and F3 foliar liquid fertilizers are the answer. Our innovative formulas are designed to revitalize your soil, maximize yields, minimize costs, and promote environmentally friendly rice cultivation.


How to apply our foliar liquid fertilizers to rice crops!

Among the vast array of rice varieties, non-photosensitive ones are our current focus. These can be planted using either transplanting or broadcasting methods, with short-duration varieties maturing in just 90-120 days.

We recommend adjusting the application frequency of our product based on the rice variety’s maturity period. For varieties maturing in 90 days, apply the product every 12 days. Increase the application frequency by one day for every 10-day increase in maturity time. For example, with varieties maturing in 100 days, apply the product every 13 days, for 110-day varieties, apply every 14 days, and for 120-day varieties, apply every 15 days.

This illustration serves as a guide for applying our product to non-photosensitive rice varieties with a 120-day maturity period.
