A Wheat Technical Update and Exchange Day was held in Tandil where Grupo Los Grobo together with Don Mario brought together the best references on the subject, to go through a test of short-cycle and intermediate materials with the aim of presenting new varieties of the seedbed for the area.

The conference, with a high technical content, also allowed the participating companies to present their latest developments in biological products and bioactivators. Ing. Guillermo Alonso, Technical Advisor of Los Grobo Agropecuaria, summarized: “Of the materials planted in mid-July, the DM Aromo stands out, a variety recently launched on the market, which offers stability and yield potential. DM Alerce and DM Audaz also participated in the trial, together with the intermediate cycles DM Pehuen and DM Catalpa (material that has been outstanding since last season), planted a little later than recommended, and the controls NS 550 and Bioceres Ginkgo”.

The tour also served to present "Grobo Juramento", the next launch of Los Grobo in the wheat market, a short-cycle material with very high yield potential and Group 2 bakery quality, with a very good adaptation to the Southeast of Buenos Aires. and that it will be available from the next campaign in certified bags.

At the same site, an essay on “Professional Seed Treatment” was visited. During the winter, different plant treatments were made on the Baguette 620 variety and then they were sown in the field (Standard chemical treatment with Scenic; Top Seed by SprayTec + Scenic; Rizoderma + Indigo; 3 different treatments from the Barenbrug company with PGPR and bioactivators; Biozyme from UPL; Rizoderma from Rizobacter; Vidapan and Astarte Zn from Microvidas).

“The idea is to test the different alternatives in biological products and bioactivators that are available today to achieve better professional treatments from the processing plant itself; with different combinations that manage to improve rooting, the general state of the plant, delaying the entry of pathogens, and preparing the crop to reach higher yield potentials” added Martin Sackmann Varela, Manager of Innovation and Technical Development at Grupo Los Grobo.

For his part, Guillermo Alonso added: "Undoubtedly, this path has just begun, but we know that it is through perfectly treated seed that the expected results for the entire new generation of biological, organic products will be obtained better and faster. and minerals”.
