Why it matters
A more stress-tolerant crop loses less to weather and recovers faster, protecting yield and quality.
When it appears
Before and during heat/drought; and for recovery.
What drives it
- Photosynthesis shutdown at high temperatures
- Flower and fruit abortion under heat
- Transpiration demand and water stress
- Oxidative stress in tissues
How to manage it
- Irrigate steadily; build deep roots.
- Support with Grow Boost, Kelp Boost, and Armour Boost (silicon).
Recommended Vegalab program
Kelp Boost and Charge BioBoost — encapsulated biostimulant actives that support osmotic balance and antioxidant defence to help crops hold function through heat.
Results you can mention: in citrus field trials, Sun Boost increased tree vigour and bloom; the firmness, cracking and stress products are positioned on cell-wall/calcium and biostimulant modes of action — keep this copy educational where specific-crop trial figures aren't yet available.
| Role | Product | Use |
