Artal Grain

Technological profile of Artal Grain: stress relief and nutrition

Artal Grain from the Spanish company Francisko R. Artal, S.L. is an organomineral complex designed for field crops (maize, sunflower, cereals, fodder beet). Its technical effectiveness is based not on a one-time 'explosive' effect, but on systemic plant metabolism support.

Biochemical architecture of the formulation

The core of the formulation consists of free L-amino acids. Unlike synthetic analogs, these molecules have an L-configuration, allowing the plant to integrate them into protein synthesis without wasting energy on isomer rearrangement. This is critical when treating crops during periods of stress: drought, temperature spikes, or post-herbicide exposure.

Microelement complex as a catalyst

Synergy with amino acids is provided by a balanced chelated metal complex:

• Iron (Fe) and Manganese (Mn): stabilize photosystem function, preventing chlorosis and supporting intensive photosynthesis even under unfavorable lighting conditions.
• Copper (Cu) and Cobalt (Co): participate in lignin synthesis and the activation of enzymes responsible for tissue respiration and lodging resistance.
• Boron (B): a key element for reproductive organ formation. In maize and sunflower, its presence determines the quality of pollination and grain filling.

Application practice: foliar route

The product comes as a highly concentrated solution optimized for foliar application. The liquid formulation ensures rapid penetration through the leaf cuticle layer. Once on the leaf blade, amino acids act as transport agents, 'pulling' metals into the cells. Thanks to its Class 4 safety rating, the product is environmentally safe and compatible with most tank mixes (fungicides and insecticides), allowing for the mitigation of chemical stress from pesticide application at the time of treatment.
