Yuccaflor® – Liquid Yucca schidigera Extract
Flowers fresh longer
Plants more vigorous
Background
Yucca plant has been a key element in the survival of the Indian tribes that inhabit arid zones of the United States and Mexico: all parts of the plant (fruits, pods, petals, leaves, roots) have been used as food and some of them in the bilding of their housings, seats, etc. and also as ingredients for soaps, fermented drinks, etc. Indians still wash their hair with Yucca, and at the same time they fight dandruff and hair loose.
Yucca concentrate juice has also been used as traditional botanical remedy in arthritis, hipercholesterolemia and digestive illnesses.
Yucca has adapted to extreme adverse conditions of its habitat. Yucca saponins increase resistance to stress, and promote growth of certain vegetable cells.
General applications of the Yucca schidigera extract in agriculture
Yucca schidigera extract has a high content in steroidal saponins (natural surfactants) and when it is added to the floor it has the capacity to act on the cells of the roots, increasing the absorption of water and nutrients.
Likewise interacts with the surrounding microflora too, creating a more favorable rizhosfere for the plant. It improves water and fertilizers penetration especially in compact or alkaline soils, besides stimulating the development of the microorganisms of the rizhosfere, increasing this way the decomposition of the organic matter, modifying soil structure and giving to the plant bigger water a nutrient availability and, in consequence, a better development of the same one.
Yucca schidigera products are used for more than twenty-five years in agriculture, as soil improvers, foliar formulations, wetting and anti-stress agents, and plant growth promoters (See summary of field tests and dosage).
