[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]PLYMAG has been always answer to the general interest of reducing environment negative impact, while producing healthy foods. Pioneer examples fully in force today are SM-6 or ROMBIORGAN BIOLÓGICO, certified for use in organic farming along with a large group of products.
Is that why PLYMAG has expanded its portfolio with the BASIC SUBSTANCES which constitute one of the last steps at European level to regulate and encourage the use by farmers as a tool of reduced environmental impact and low danger in their fight against pests and diseases.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
What are the basic substances?
The basic substances are not active substances at phytosanitary style , but substances with main uses in other fields and applications, and which may have certain approved phytosanitary uses in crops, other vegetables or seeds.
Specifically, “basic substance” means that:
- It is not a worrying substance and does not have the intrinsic ability to produce endocrine abnormalities or neurotoxic or immunotoxic effects
- It is not used primarily for phytosanitary purposes, even if it is useful for these purposes, and is used directly or in a product formed by the substance, (or several basic substances) and a simple diluent.
- It is not marketed as a phytosanitary product
List of basic substances: Equisetum arvense L., chitosan hydrochloride, sucrose, calcium hydroxide, lecithins, fructose, sodium hydrogen carbonate, vinegar, Salix spp. Bark, diammonium phosphate, whey, sunflower oil, hydrogen peroxide, Urtica spp. clay charcoal, sodium chloride, beer, mustard seeds.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
What do the basic substances contribute?
Basic substances respond to increasingly citizens demand concerned about their health and healthy food production, since they constitute a tool in pests and diseases control, especially interesting in organic farming.
Logically, basic substances, given its nature and scope, are no substitute for plant protection products, but in conjunction with other measures can help reduce pesticide use.
