LUMEN and CHROMA FRUIT are [NaturKhem] solutions designed to prevent summer-related fruit damage and improve crop quality.
Climate change, with longer summers, reduced rainfall, and tropical nights, is decreasing the commercial quality of many crops around the world. Rising temperatures and increased solar radiation damage leaves and fruits (avocado, citrus, pomegranate, apple, pear), causing sunburn, spotting, and photooxidative stress, which reduces their market value. In addition, prolonged heat extending into autumn disrupts […]
KhemeChemical promotes agricultural research together with IRNASA-CSIC
At Naturkhem, we are especially proud to participate in research initiatives developed in collaboration with the Instituto de Recursos Naturales y Agrobiología de Salamanca (IRNASA-CSIC). This partnership reinforces our commitment to developing innovative and sustainable solutions for agriculture. The project focuses on advancing the understanding of compounds and technologies capable of improving crop resilience under […]
Farm to Fork
European agriculture is moving towards a more sustainable model driven by the European Green Deal, the “Farm to Fork” strategy, and increasingly restrictive regulations on the use of synthetic crop protection products. This legal framework requires producers and companies to adopt solutions that reduce environmental impact without compromising productivity. In this context, biocontrol is emerging […]
Reflections after Fruit Attraction 2025
This month we’ve had the opportunity to look back and reflect on everything that our participation in Fruit Attraction brought us. Although the event closed its doors at the beginning of October, its impact is still very present in our day-to-day work. Looking back, we can only feel grateful to everyone who visited our stand, […]
Evaluation of the effect of biostimulants on sorghum under water stress and nitrogen limitation
In collaboration with naturKhem, the Dryland Ecology and Global Change Lab at KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) has conducted its first experiment, led by Dr. Mario Corrochano Monsalve, a postdoctoral scientist specialising in sustainable agriculture, soil science, and greenhouse gas mitigation. The study, co-led with doctoral candidate Norah Alghamdi, focuses on evaluating […]
NaturKhem solutions to combat the effects of climate change on crops
NaturKhem has developed several innovations that promote sustainable agriculture, demonstrating effectiveness in reducing plant stress under extreme heat conditions. A recent study conducted in North Africa on pepper cultivation exemplifies this, where a targeted fertilisation plan had a positive impact on protecting the fruit from heat damage. The treatment resulted in up to a 30% […]
Rice: an emblematic crop of the valencian community with great economic and cultural significance
The average rice production in the region between 2018 and 2023 was 7.3 tonnes per hectare. However, preliminary data from the Generalitat Valenciana (GVA) indicate that rice production in 2024 fell by 8.2%, reaching only 6.7 tonnes per hectare. In contrast, plots where naturKhem Technology was applied showed a markedly higher yield of 9.7 tonnes […]
Drought is not a future threat — it is a present-day
This is the warning from the World Resources Institute map: by 2050, large regions of the planet will experience extreme water stress. In this scenario, where water demand will far exceed availability, agriculture becomes both the epicentre of the problem and part of the solution. Water stress does more than reduce yields: • It degrades […]
