Physiological drop in citrus is regulated by the plant’s hormonal balance, and it has traditionally been controlled through effective synthetic phytohormones, but with important limitations, such as a very restricted application window, a single application per cycle, and LAIGUANT PRIME, the natural anti-drop revolution
The citrus industry has a decisive tool to stop the physiological fruit drop. Lainco presents to us LAIGUANT PRIME, a 100% natural biostimulant that matches the effectiveness of synthetic regulators and overcomes their limitations, offering multiple applications, absence of residues, and authorization for organic farming. its limitation of use in organic agriculture. As an alternative to these solutions, Lainco has developed LAIGUANT PRIME, a 100% natural biostimulant that maintains effectiveness in fruit set and retention, allows multiple applications throughout the cycle, and is authorized for organic farming, responding to a key market niche currently lacking effective tools.
The components of LAIGUANT PRIME act by naturally stimulating the internal mechanisms that regulate hormonal balance in citrus, which makes it possible to delay physiological fruit drop and, consequently, promote greater fruit set and retention.
Thanks to its innovative formulation, LAIGUANT PRIME is presented as a natural and effective alternative to synthetic hormonal regulators, offering equivalent efficacy but with multiple additional advantages.
Among them, the absence of residues stands out and, therefore, the exemption from a safety interval, as well as its wide application window, which extends from the color change (BBCH 81–83) to harvest, allowing the treatment to be repeated if it is necessary to prolong the fruit’s stay on the tree. In addition to improving fruit set and retention, LAIGUANT PRIME helps reduce calyx blackening and drop in varieties that are degreened in storage, making its use possible up to 15 days before harvest.
Finally, its 100% natural origin makes it suitable for organic farming, consolidating it as a sustainable and safe solution for modern citriculture. A clear example of the effectiveness of Laiguant Prime is the results obtained in a Navelina orchard in Valencia during the 24–25 season. In this trial, 28% less fruit drop was recorded compared to treatments carried out with Diclorprop. It is worth noting that two applications of Laiguant Prime were performed compared to a single application of Diclorprop.
