Jalapa, Nueva Segovia – Nicaragua.
Producer Ariel Castillo, with support from the technical teams of ClearLeaf and Colono Agropecuario, conducted a rice field trial to evaluate the performance of GotaBlanca 500 against key sanitary challenges in the crop, including the fungal complex, grain discoloration, and the bacterium Burkholderia.

Field Application
The management program consisted of two applications: the first at 5% flowering, and the second 12 days later, applying 2 liters per hectare.
The objective was to prevent and mitigate damage caused by foliar and panicle pathogens during critical grain-filling stages.

Observed Results
During the field visit one month after the second application, the results were clear.
In the areas treated with GotaBlanca 500, plants showed clean panicles, well-formed grains, and overall superior crop health.
“You can clearly see where it wasn’t applied and where it was. In the untreated area, almost everything shows what we call ‘neck blast,’ but where it was applied, it looks excellent — I don’t see a single plant with grain discoloration,”explained producer Ariel Castillo.
The trial demonstrated the value of GotaBlanca 500 as an effective and sustainable tool for managing the disease complex in rice, delivering visible field results without toxic residues or negative soil impact..

Sustainable Technology for Nicaraguan Rice
GotaBlanca 500 combines elemental silver and surface copolymers, creating a protective barrier that acts on fungi and bacteria without generating microbial resistance.

Its multi-site action provides continuous protection throughout the crop cycle, improving both grain quality and overall profitability.
Producers like Ariel Castillofrom Jalapa, Nicaragua, have confirmed that healthy plants translate into better-valued harvests.
By applying GotaBlanca 500 at 2 liters per hectare. during maximum panicle development and 5% heading, they achieved clean fields with no losses from Burkholderia, Rhizoctonia or grain discoloration.
💧 A real example of how ClearLeaf technology transforms plant health into productivity — and productivity into profitability.
