Improve drought tolerance
Securing yields with AMALGEROL® Biostimulants:
Protection against drought and rapid recovery after prolonged dry periods.
As increasingly erratic rainfall patterns and higher temperatures challenge agricultural systems, it becomes crucial to adopt effective drought mitigation strategies. AMALGEROL ESSENCE / AMALGEROL helps plants maintain vital processes under water-limiting conditions, promoting resilience and ensuring stable yields.
- Improve osmoregulation and water status
- Access hidden soil moisture
- Adjust water use during dry periods
Application:
AMALGEROL ESSENCE: 2-3 l/ha
AMALGEROL:
Use sufficient water volume to ensure thorough coverage (Minimum: 150 l)
For sustainable promotion of soil health and activity, we recommend long-term use: additional applications twice a year i) after harvest and ii) before sowing.
Extensive trials in various countries have proven the effectiveness of our biostimulant.

1/ Phytohormons and stomatal regulation
AMALGEROL ESSENCE / AMALGEROL activates the plant’s intrinsic tolerance mechanisms, enhancing the production of key plant hormones like abscisic acid (ABA), which is essential for modulating stomatal closure during drought. Optimized stomatal closure reduces water loss through transpiration. The precise regulation of stress-related hormones ensures that plants respond efficiently to environmental stress, optimizing water use while maintaining physiological processes functional, thus improving drought tolerance.
- Increased ABA production for stomatal control
- Optimized water use through reduced transpiration
- Maintained physiological function under drought
2 / Boosting antioxidant defense mechanisms
Under stress conditions, plant cells generate aggressive oxygen molecules which damage cell components. Treatment with AMALGEROL ESSENCE / AMALGEROL enhances the production and activity of antioxidant molecules, helping to neutralize the damaging effects of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) on proteins and membranes. This preserves the integrity of tissues and secures essential metabolic functions. This protection against oxidative stress allows plants to maintain growth and development even under challenging drought conditions.
- Neutralization of ROS through antioxidants
- Protection of proteins and membranes
- Continued growth during drought
3 / Osmoprotectants and photosynthetic stability
AMALGEROL ESSENCE / AMALGEROL facilitates osmotic adjustment by promoting the accumulation of osmolytes such as sugars or heat-shock proteins, which help plants reducing cellular dehydration and keeping enzymatic functionality under water deficiency. These compounds act by stabilizing cell membranes, important structures for the photosynthetic activity in chloroplasts. Increased chlorophyll levels add to the plant’s ability to continue producing energy despite water scarcity. This combined effect boosts overall plant resilience and productivity during periods of drought.
- Accumulation of osmoprotectants and HSPs
- Stabilized photosynthesis and membrane function
- Sustained energy production under water stress
4/ Water status and root development
Soil water holding capacity and accessibility are essential parameters for plant roots. These parameters influence root development and plant survival under drought. Application of AMALGEROL ESSENCE / AMALGEROL improves the soil’s water-holding capacity by enhancing its structure. This also promotes a deeper and more extensive root system, enabling plants to better access water from various soil layers. This dual effect of improved soil moisture and enhanced root development ensures that plants can withstand prolonged dry periods and recover faster once moisture is back.
- Enhanced soil water-holding capacity
- Stronger, deeper root systems
- Better drought resistance and recovery
