Nitrogen is the most important macronutrient during anabolic tissue-building processes. Supplying N in all forms, in a balanced way, ensures the plant’s nitrogen needs are fully covered. In addition, N is a structural component of key biomolecules such as chlorophyll and amino acids. • Boosting photosynthetic activity: the product provides magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn), essential for adequate photosynthetic activity. These nutrients are formulated together with amino acids, forming (among others) Mg, Fe and Mn glycinate complexes, ensuring efficacy. Optimal photosynthetic function is essential for proper plant development, as it supplies energy for all metabolic functions. Photosynthesis is a complex process, but it is based on two widely studied photosystems: PS-I and PS-II. · Magnesium (Mg) is a structural component of chlorophyll and is therefore fundamental for capturing light energy. It also activates enzymes such as RuBisCO, which plays a key role in CO 2 fixation via the Calvin cycle. · Iron (Fe) is directly involved in chlorophyll synthesis and is essential for chloroplast maintenance. It also forms part of several ferredoxins (electron-carrier proteins) within PS-I. · Manganese (Mn) is part of the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) in PS-II, where water is oxidised to generate oxygen (O 2 ) and protons (H + ). This reaction triggers the entire photosynthetic cascade that leads to energy production. • Contains L-free amino acids and natural extracts: for example, L-glutamic acid is used by the plant as a building block for chlorophyll synthesis in the antenna system, being essential for capturing sunlight energy. In addition, amino acids stimulate plant metabolism, helping it synthesise all tissues required for proper development. Finally, its plant-origin extracts provide energy and other bioactive substances. Biostimulant that promotes the vegetative growth of the crop and stimulates the development of the leaf mass and woody tissues of the plant. In addition, it boosts chlorophyll synthesis and enhances photosynthetic function, ensuring that the crop has all the energy it requires.

APPLICATION RATE HOW DOES IT HELP YOUR CROPS? Gourmed ® Nº 8 Reactive is the most advanced solution for improving your crop soils, combining organic and inorganic active principles. It reactivates the soil’s native microbiome by stimulating the development of the region’s naturally occurring beneficial microbiota. Thanks to its high content of low-molecular-weight bioactive organic molecules, such as specialised saccharides, AHAs and di- and tricarboxylic acids, it stimulates the growth of beneficial microbiota already present in the soil. Native microbiota refers to the community of beneficial microorganisms that have specifically adapted over thousands of years to a particular regional soil type, making them the most robust and effective for that ecosystem. Unlike exogenously applied microorganisms, native microbiota do not require establishment, as they are naturally present in the soil. Gourmed ® Nº 8 Reactive improves soil structure and nutrition by supplying a high concentration of valuable divalent cations such as calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg). Moreover, more than 95% of the Ca and Mg are present in complexed form, ensuring high mobility and effectiveness across all soil types. As a result, the Ca and Mg supplied are 100% active and enhance soil structure, improving both water retention capacity and soil aeration — fundamental aspects for crops to reach their maximum potential. In addition, Gourmed ® Nº 8 Reactive nourishes and prepares the soil for cultivation as it is rich in fulvic acids, the most active fraction of the humic extract, and contains more than 50% high-quality organic matter. Fulvic acids, due to their smaller molecular size and high reactivity, rapidly lead to optimal agronomic results. At the same time, it corrects salinity issues by removing toxic ions present in the soil, such as sodium (Na + ) and chlorides (Cl - ), which degrade soil structure and are harmful to plants. The complexed Ca and Mg displace these ions and take their place, enabling Na and Cl to be removed through leaching. BENEFITS Premium soil conditioner. Reactivates and stimulates the development of the region’s native beneficial soil microbiota. Provides a high concentration of complexed calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) with high mobility.

Specifically, the product contains bioactive metabolites used by extremophilic plant species — plants that inhabit extreme ecosystems such as deserts, frozen tundra or saline environments. Thanks to these metabolites, native plants in those regions are able to survive under extreme heat or cold, with very limited water availability or high-salinity conditions. Years of research have identified which metabolites play a key role in conferring resistance and adaptability to abiotic stress, and how to formulate them effectively as part of Gourmed ® Nº 10 Power. These metabolites include: • L-proline and glycine betaine: two of the most efficient natural metabolites for regulating cellular water balance (cellular osmosis). For example, L-proline promotes increased water retention within the cytoplasm of plant cells. • L-free amino acids: featuring a broad amino-acid profile specifically selected to address abiotic stress, composed of more than 18 different amino acids. All amino acids in Gourmed ® Nº10 Power are free-form and in the L-configuration, meaning they are 100% immediately available for plant uptake and are biologically active. Some of the amino acids present include: · L-glutamic acid, which reinforces cell-wall permeability under water-deficit stress; · L-serine, which acts on aquaporins — specialised membrane proteins that regulate water transport into plant cells; · L-valine, which helps maintain the integrity of cellular membranes. • Specialised saccharides: used as a high-performance energy source and as a natural “antifreeze”, lowering the freezing point below 0°C within plant cells and preventing the formation of ice crystals in plant tissues. • Antioxidants: the product contains vitamins and other antioxidant substances, protecting against oxidative stress. As a result, structural components of plant cells and their metabolites are protected from reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during abiotic stress, preserving plant functionality and preventing damage. • Plant-derived natural extracts: more than 50% of the product consists of three plant extracts specifically selected to act as protectants against abiotic stress. Protects crops from abiotic stress by preventing and minimising damage caused by extreme temperatures, salinity and/or water deficit. Supports the recovery of already affected crops. High-tech formula that works 100% naturally and without hormones. Highly advanced biostimulant designed to protect crops against abiotic stress in a 100% natural way. It has two modes of action: Preventive, when applied before abiotic stress occurs, reducing and minimising the onset of crop damage; and Curative, as once stress has occurred, its application helps the crop recover more effectively and more rapidly.
