Innovative and Approved Products: BAÏKAL WP AND SOKALCIARBO WP
Our Biocontrol Products
PRODUCT FOR PROFESSIONALS: USE PLANT PROTECTION PRODUCTS WITH CAUTION. BEFORE ANY USE, READ THE LABEL AND PRODUCT INFORMATION.
Baïkal WP and Sokalciarbo WP
AGRI SYNERGIE holds a prominent position in the natural insect repellent market thanks to its Cœur de Kaolin system.
The products at the heart of this system are marketed under the brands BAÏKAL and SOKALCIARBO® (MA n° 2100038).
The action is both visual, by changing the plant's hue and making identification difficult for pests, and mechanical, hindering parasites in their movement, feeding, and egg-laying.
Without toxicological classification
suitable for Organic Agriculture
Products listed in Biocontrol products
Products approved for numerous crops and against many pests
BAIKAL WP AND SOKALCIARBO WP consist of wettable powder of intense whiteness and extreme fineness.
Rendered anhydrous in the final phases of the manufacturing process, kaolin transitions from a crystalline to an amorphous structure. This step in the process increases the product's resistance to leaching, while allowing photosynthetic light waves to pass through.
It also becomes miscible with all other products during field spraying, as it has become chemically inert.
The products have an interesting secondary effect for the plant, as they mitigate thermal shocks when present on the plant.
In conditions of high heat and intense sunlight, they help reduce sunburn because they limit the passage of UV and IR rays responsible for lesions to cellular compounds and organ overheating.
Vineyard Protection: Control of the Green Leafhopper
The latest approved use of Baïkal WP and Sokalciarbo WP products concerns vine protection and corresponds to that of the leafhopper causing flaking on vines.
Orchard Protection: A Wide Range of Approvals
The Cœur de Kaolin system products, BAÏKAL WP and SOKALCIARBO WP, have numerous approvals against key pests in arboriculture: pear psylla, walnut husk fly, olive fruit fly, aphid species on pome and stone fruits, and citrus leafhoppers.
Fragrant Plants: Control of the Vector of Lavender and Lavandin Dieback
For these types of crops, the Cœur de Kaolin system products are used to control the leafhopper vector of a disease caused by Stolbur phytoplasma, which can lead to the dieback of lavender and lavandin in a few seasons.
Fertilization for Crop Development
Agri Synergie offers a wide range of amendments and fertilizers providing essential elements for the soil and proper crop development. These diversified solutions ensure yield and quality, depending on production conditions: soil quality, climate, water supply, genetic potential of crops, farming systems, etc.
What is the role of mineral and organic amendments in soil improvement?
Basic mineral and organic amendments improve the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils.
Basic mineral amendments maintain soil pH and structure the clay-humus complex. They thus promote the maintenance of good soil porosity, favorable to oxygenation of the environment and the proper functioning of beneficial microorganisms. They therefore ensure optimal assimilation of mineral elements by the root system.
Organic amendments, in turn, maintain the soil's organic matter level, the humus content. Humus also ensures the proper functioning of the soil: its structure, its water retention capacity, its biological activity.
Caring for the soil allows the crop to express its full yield and quality potential.
The raw and cooked basic mineral amendments offered by Agri Synergie are available in powder, compacted forms, with "root-delivered" solutions. Organic amendments are presented in pellet form.
Organic and organo-mineral fertilizers to nourish the planet and boost microbial life.
Organic and organo-mineral fertilizers are characterized by a gradual release of mineral elements. Their stimulating action on soil life ensures complete and balanced nutrition for crops throughout their vegetative cycle. Agri Synergie offers two product formats in these ranges, for great flexibility of use: spherical granules and pellets.
Some products are dedicated to organic farming with formulations strictly composed of raw materials of natural mineral, animal, or plant origin. Organo-minerals are intended for conventional agriculture with often higher mineral element content.
An original liquid organo-mineral fertilizer solution is also offered for seed coating.
Mineral Fertilizers for All Soil Types and Crops
Agri Synergie's NPK specialties (compacted fertilizers) have a stimulating action on soil biological activity, as they are derived from co-products of the sugar industry in particular (e.g., ammoniacal, potassic, organic vinasses). They improve the efficiency of nutrients by stimulating the soil's mineralizing flora.
(This logic of incorporating agronomically valuable materials from other industries, even into mineral fertilizer ranges, is a leitmotif for Agri Synergie, out of concern for resource optimization and diversification of inputs.)
The Azomer range, based on marine-derived calcium and beet vinasse, notably provides major mineral elements, calcium, and trace elements, for a surface pH effect and reinforcement of the clay-humus complex's saturation rate.
Foliar Fertilizers at Certain Plant Stages or in Response to Climatic Events.
Foliar fertilizers are particularly useful in certain limiting pedoclimatic situations for the plant.
Depending on their formulation, each of them allows for correcting deficiencies, stimulating growth, or overcoming "critical" phases of crop development linked to various stresses (drought, hydromorphy, frost, hail, induced deficiencies...).
