The Challenge: Phytosanitary Pressure and Global Market Demands

High-end berry production faces a dual challenge that forgives no mistakes:

  • Pathogen Pressure: Soil and traditional propagation material can carry devastating diseases like root rot (Phytophthora), Fusarium, and Botrytis cinerea, compromising the health of the orchard, drastically reducing yield, and staining the quality of the fruit.

  • Inflexible Export Standards: International markets demand visually perfect fruit of a uniform size, with a high sugar concentration, and above all, with impeccable phytosanitary traceability. Any deviation results in rejections and economic losses.

  • Rapid Variety Cycle: The market constantly demands new patented varieties with improved characteristics. Traditional propagation is too slow to scale up the production of these new "genetic jewels" in time.

The Strategic Advantage: An In Vitro Starting Point

Our micropropagation laboratory is the first step in a successful berry production chain. By starting your crop from in vitro plantlets, you are "resetting the clock" of the plant, ensuring a 100% clean starting point with maximum genetic potential. We select the best specimens of your varieties and multiply them in a completely aseptic environment, creating perfect clones ready to thrive.

Benefits of Starting Your Crop with Our Plantlets

 

1. Impeccable Phytosanitary Passport Every plant we deliver is guaranteed to be free of viruses, fungi, and bacteria. This translates to lower mortality in the field, healthier development, and a significant reduction in the need for fungicide applications during the critical early stages of cultivation.

2. Expression of Maximum Genetic Potential As clones of an elite mother plant, each of our plantlets carries 100% of its variety's genetic potential to produce fruit of the size, firmness, and flavor that the export market demands.

3. Uniformity for an Efficient Harvest A plantation started with genetically identical material grows and produces homogeneously. This facilitates and optimizes all cultivation tasks: irrigation, nutrition, pruning, and, crucially, harvesting, allowing for a faster collection and standardized packing.

4. Accelerated Multiplication of New Varieties Have you acquired the rights to a new blueberry or raspberry variety? Our laboratory can take a few mother plants and generate thousands of ready-to-plant plantlets in record time, giving you a competitive advantage to reach the market first.

A Market that Demands Beauty and Consistent Quality

The demand for indoor and designer plants has never been higher. Today's consumers and clients are not just looking for a plant; they are looking for a living piece of decor, a perfect specimen that complements their space. For professionals, this presents a major challenge:

  • Need for Uniformity: Landscaping projects and retail chains require batches of plants that look exactly alike to create a cohesive visual impact.

  • Scalability of Trends: When a plant becomes popular (like certain Philodendrons or Ficus), demand explodes, and traditional methods cannot supply it with the necessary speed and quantity.

  • Propagation of Difficult Species: Many of the most desired and high-value plants are slow-growing or very difficult to propagate from cuttings, limiting their availability.

  • Phytosanitary Risk: Pests and diseases can ruin the aesthetic value of an entire batch, generating significant losses.


 

 

Micropropagation: Where Exceptional Genetics Become Predictable

Our laboratory is the bridge between a single, exceptional mother plant and thousands of perfect copies.

At Castamay Reforesta, we apply the most advanced biotechnology to strengthen Mexico's agave industry. We understand that your plantation is a long-term investment and that every plant counts. That is why we have perfected the art of micropropagation to offer you the most reliable and profitable planting material on the market.

 

Solicitud de Proyecto

The Current Challenge in the Agave Field

The traditional propagation method using offshoots (hijuelos), while it has served for generations, presents risks that can now cost millions of pesos in losses and diminish the productivity of your land.

  • Devastating Diseases: The fungus Fusarium oxysporum and various bacteria are easily transmitted through offshoots, contaminating entire fields and causing plants to die before they reach maturity.

  • Hidden Pests: The agave weevil (Scyphophorus acupunctatus) can infest offshoots invisibly, carrying the pest into new plantations from day one.

  • Uneven Growth: The genetic and health variability of offshoots results in inconsistent plantations, with plants that mature at different rates. This complicates management, harvesting (jima), and crop planning.

  • Limited Availability: The high demand for quality agave often exceeds the supply of healthy offshoots, creating bottlenecks and increasing costs.


 


 

Our Solution: Biotechnology Applied to Agave

In our micropropagation laboratory, we overcome all these challenges. We start with a small tissue sample from an elite mother plant—selected for its vigor, size, and resilience—and multiply it in a 100% sterile and controlled environment.

The result is a new generation of agave plantlets: perfect clones of the best genetics, completely free of any internal or external pathogens. It is, in essence, the purest and safest way to start or expand your plantation.

Advantages of Castamay Reforesta's Agave Plantlets

Investing in our micropropagated plantlets is not an expense; it is a risk management and yield maximization strategy.
