Speedfol® Rice SP is a Specialty Plant Nutrition product developed for foliar applications in rice cultivation. The use of Speedfol® Rice SP has resulted in an increase in net income for the producer, thanks to the increase in grain yield and higher grain quality due to a reduction in the percentage of broken grains. On the other hand, Speedfol® Rice SP also reduces plant "knockdown", facilitating the harvesting process and increasing yields.||CONDITIONS WHERE FOLIAR APPLICATION WITH SPEEDFOL® RICE SP IS RECOMMENDED|Foliar applications are recommended when nutrient uptake through the roots is limited. For example in soils that fix and immobilize nutrients, such as clay soils, alkaline soils or soils with an imbalance between cations (K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+). In that sense, one way for the plant to absorb essential nutrients for higher yields is via foliar applications. A foliar application with Speedfol® Rice SP is a very fast way to correct a deficiency of N, K, B and Zn.||SPEEDFOL® RICE SP HAS A BALANCED NUTRITIONAL COMPOSITION|Thanks to its balanced nutritional composition for rice cultivation, Speedfol® Rice SP promotes protein and chlorophyll synthesis, increases leaf photosynthetic capacity, which results in increased carbohydrate production, and participates in the transport of photoassimilates from the leaves to the grains, improving grain weight and quality.||MAIN BENEFITS OF SPEEDFOL® RICE SP IN RICE|Under the conditions tested, scientific trials conducted in leading rice growing countries such as China, India, Vietnam, the United States and Peru, have shown that Speedfol® Rice SP brings important benefits in net income for the rice producer:||Speedfol® Rice SP increases tillering, increases the number of ears per hectare and grains per ear, increases the weight of 1.Improved rice quality or "milling quality", which is achieved via:|A reduction in the percentage of broken grains.|Increased white whole grain content. A reduction in the "tumbado" of the plants, which increases the yield and facilitates the harvesting process.|Technical Information|RESULTS IN PERU (PIURA, LA LIBERTAD AND AREQUIPA): HIGHER PROFITABILITY PROVEN||Increase in the farmer's net income of US$ 957.00/ha, calculated on the basis of 2,100 kg of additional rice per hectare with a rice price of US$ 0.40/kg. In addition, 7.9% less broken grains were obtained (Chepén La Libertad, June 2012).|Increases of 25% in tillering and number of ears.|Increase in yield per hectare of up to 20% more (2,100 kg).
