Combining physical soil management (drainage and aeration) with a strategic biostimulation program based on seaweed and amino acids can reduce losses by up to 60%. The key is to act as soon as the soil allows access, treating the plant not as a healthy organism, but as a patient in intensive care that requires direct metabolic support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"495\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-844\" src=\"https:\/\/mycsainc.com\/newsletter\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Copia-de-BLOG-Shanya-29-700x495.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycsainc.com\/newsletter\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Copia-de-BLOG-Shanya-29-700x495.jpg 700w, https:\/\/mycsainc.com\/newsletter\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Copia-de-BLOG-Shanya-29-250x177.jpg 250w, https:\/\/mycsainc.com\/newsletter\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Copia-de-BLOG-Shanya-29-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mycsainc.com\/newsletter\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Copia-de-BLOG-Shanya-29-120x85.jpg 120w, https:\/\/mycsainc.com\/newsletter\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Copia-de-BLOG-Shanya-29.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Agriculture can be both more productive and more sustainable.

This occurs because the root runs out of oxygen and stops absorbing water and nutrients.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><b> Why does excess water damage roots?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When the soil becomes saturated, water displaces the air and causes hypoxia (low oxygen) or anoxia (total absence of oxygen). The fine roots, which are the ones that absorb, are the first to rot, and that opens the door to pathogens such as Phytophthora and Pythium.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><b> How can a plant with excess water be recovered?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You have to act on several fronts: improve soil drainage and aeration, leach out excess salts once the soil stabilizes, reactivate microbial life with beneficial inoculants, and support the plant with biostimulants. Heavy machinery should be avoided while the soil is still saturated.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><b> Which biostimulants help recover plants with excess water?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seaweed extracts help reactivate the root and reduce stress. Amino acids provide direct energy to repair tissues. And humic and fulvic acids help rebuild soil structure and protect new roots.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><b> Should a plant affected by excess water be pruned?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not immediately. Even if the leaves look yellow, it is best to wait and see where the plant sprouts again to know which tissue is truly dead.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><b> Can a plant with excess water be fertilized?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, but carefully. Since the roots are damaged, foliar fertilization during the first week is a more efficient route.
