SKICC
DECREASE PLANT STRESS IN VEGETABLE AND ROW CROPS
Agronomic practices can impact crop productivity by exacerbating stressful conditions. These practices range from transplanting, where seedlings endure significant temperature and drought stress due to abrupt environmental shifts, to pesticide applications. Despite their selectivity, crop protection products can negatively influence plants by temporarily impeding growth or causing stressful conditions, decreasing productivity.
The resulting losses happen in a variety of ways:
• Decreased photosynthesis
• Premature foliar senescence
• Onset of physiological plant diseases such as chlorosis, necrosis, and tissue decay
• Increased susceptibility to pest infestations
Rapid Absorption That Improves Productivity
SKICC is non-phytotoxic, devoid of chlorides, sulfates and carbonates. It is rapidly absorbed by the plant within two hours of application. When applied under stressful conditions and at all growth stages, SKICC bolsters the crop's productivity. In addition, when used alongside pesticides and other crop inputs, SKICC mitigates phytotoxic effects.
Offering a proactive approach to protect yield, SKICC is the solution for controlling the impact of stressors on plants.
“Minimizing stress can lower costs associated with water, fertilizers, pesticides, and other inputs, leading to more cost-effective farming. Moreover, better quality and higher yields can lead to improved market prices and greater profitability,” says Dr. Maria Rosaria Stile, Ph.D., K-Adriatica research and development manager.

Protect a Variety of Crops While Supporting Cellular Equilibrium
SKICC is a cutting-edge nutritional solution designed to strengthen and protect numerous crops, including soybeans, corn, cotton, wheat, rice and leafy vegetables, when facing stressful growing conditions. Its formulation stimulates the plant’s natural defense mechanisms to support cellular equilibrium (homeostasis) at a molecular level. This ensures the immediate restoration of metabolic processes critical for maximum yield at harvest.
“SKICC applications positively affect plant growth, enabling plants to better capture light energy, convert it into chemical energy, and synthesize carbohydrates, thereby directly improving photosynthetic efficiency,” says Stile. “Additionally, SKICC enhances the plant’s ability to withstand environmental stresses, such as drought or high salinity, which can adversely affect photosynthesis.”
Why SKICC Is Preferred
Offers relief of a number of abiotic stressors
Activates the plant’s natural defenses
Preserves cellular balance, allowing for the restoration of metabolic activities
