Agrifresh RR: technology designed from the physiology of the plant
21 May 2026 – Agralia News
In Modern Agriculture, maximizing productive potential no longer depends solely on genetics, nutrition, or irrigation. The real difference lies in the ability to design the right environment so that the plant can work in physiological balance. At Agralia, we develop solutions based on that principle.
Stomatal response of the blueberry with Agrifresh RR
The recent monitoring carried out on blueberry varieties Magica and Ventura allowed the evaluation of stomatal conductance behavior under Agrifresh RR coverage compared to unprotected plants. Stomatal conductance is one of the main physiological indicators of plant activity, as it reflects the plant’s ability to maintain gas exchange, transpiration, and active photosynthetic activity.
Optimized stomatal conductance
The obtained results show consistent behavior:
- plants under Agrifresh RR managed to maintain higher and more stable stomatal conductance for much of the day,
- especially during the hours of greatest thermal stress,
- reducing the effects associated with stomatal closure.
Magic Variety: greater physiological stability during the day
In the Magic variety, a more balanced physiological response was observed under Agrifresh RR coverage, allowing for more stable stomatal activity levels during different times of the day. This is essential in scenarios of high radiation and temperature, where the crop usually reduces its physiological activity to defend itself from environmental stress.
Ventura Variety: Significant Physiological Differences
In the Ventura variety, the results were even more striking. Plants under Agrifresh RR maintained consistently higher and more stable stomatal conductance throughout the entire day, particularly during the central hours, when the crop normally begins to restrict gas exchange due to excessive thermal and radiative stress. This sustained conductance indicates a better physiological balance, allowing the plant to keep photosynthetic activity active for longer and avoid the typical midday stomatal closure.
Physiological and productive impact
Specific climate management by variety
These results can translate into:
– Greater photosynthetic efficiency
– Better water balance
– Lower physiological stress
– Greater metabolic stability
– Better productive potential and fruit quality
However, the most important message goes beyond the mesh itself.
These monitoring activities demonstrate the importance of understanding the specific requirements of each variety to design truly efficient climate management strategies. Not all varieties respond the same way to radiation, temperature, or evaporative demand. That is why, at Agralia, we work by integrating:
– plant physiology,
– climate analysis,
– radiation management,
– light diffusion,
– ventilation,
– specific production objectives.
Our approach is not simply about shading a crop. It is about building the optimal microclimate to maximize the plant’s physiological yield. Precision agriculture begins by understanding how the plant responds.
