ABSTRACT
New products are now successfully applied in sustainable agriculture in order to activate specific metabolic pathways in plants, which are commercially known as physiological activators, enhancers or stress-relievers.. However, few studies have been able to introduce in practice such alternatives. Information on the results of a new formulated called A-CETAS/07, obtained from sugar industry waste supplemented with antioxidant molecules, which was compared with a commercial activator (witness), wass offered in order to stimulate the potential yield of papaya ( Carica papaya L.), cv. Maradol roja. The results show a reinvigoration of plants, with progressive increase of production as A-CETAS/07, increased above the historical average (64 - 74 t ha-1 ) at 9 months after transplantation, which is a favorable economic and environmental impact alternative.
