RETROSAL®

RETROSAL® is an innovative biostimulant that improves plant growth on saline soils. Thanks to the innovative Geapower technology (GEA216) the formula of RETROSAL® has been enhanced, obtaining the right solution to help plants remain vigorous and to attain excellent yields even under high salinity stress conditions, by restoring plant health and water retention levels. Moreover RETROSAL® is enriched with Calcium and specific active ingredients, that act to counter Na displacement and improve physical and chemical soil conditions. 

We carried out an “omics” approach to characterize the physiological effect of RETROSAL® using different model plants (Arabidopsis thaliana and lettuce). The results have shown that the application of RETROSAL® under salinity stress activates genes/pathways involved in osmotic adjustment and synthesis of compatible solutes to tolerate salinity stress condition.  

Promotes and controls plant growth in saline soils. 

The enriched formulation of RETROSAL, thanks to the innovative GeaPower technology (GEA216), is the right solution to keep plants growing vigorously and to ensure high quality and yields under high salinity soil conditions by restoring plant health and improving water retention. 

How does it work: 
Accumulation of salts in soil is one of the most important worldwide problems that induce crop losses. Soil salinization, arising from either natural or human-induced causes, led to an increase in the concentration of dissolved salts in the soil profile to a level that impairs food production, environmental health, and socioeconomic well-being (Ondrasek et al., 2009; Rengasamy, 2006). The application of RETROSAL under salinity stress activates genes/pathways involved in osmotic adjustment and synthesis of compatible solutes to tolerate salinity stress conditions and confer protective properties. In addition, it induces the biosynthesis of compatible osmolytes that can afford the protection of cells against a variety of salinity stress, induces the biosynthesis of physical protective barriers that reduce the accumulation of toxic compounds, and finally improves energy pathways to support plant growth under salinity conditions.
