These valves contain a mechanism that allows the injected product to enter under high pressure while preventing backflow. They are made from biodegradable material derived from corn starch cultivated specifically for industrial use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Injection of the Mixture: An application gun is placed on the Injecthor valves, connected to the Injecthor machine tank preloaded and pressurized to 80 psi. Each injection deposits 10\u201312 ml of the treatment mixture per the specified protocol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Placement of Caps: After injections, plastic caps are placed over each valve to block the passage between the tree\u2019s interior and exterior, preventing potential contamination while the tree\u2019s natural compartmentalization (healing) process occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mode of Action: The active ingredients supplied to the trees are transported through the vascular system, producing a control effect on insects through contact and ingestion. Injected fungicides act on pathogens associated with these insects, suppressing them and leading to symptom remission in treated trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Plant endotherapy was considered the best treatment option due to its lack of chemical dispersion into the environment and its complete safety for humans and animals. The technique can be applied at any time of day and relies on the tree\u2019s vascular system to move injected products from roots to the upper parts. The high-pressure injected products dissolve in the tree\u2019s internal water and are translocated to all tissues, combating or repelling insect attacks and\/or diseases caused by fungi or bacteria.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The process involves a comprehensive treatment of the forested areas, including monitoring, soil decompaction, and targeted irrigation of treated trees. A trapping system is also implemented to identify the types of insects or pests affecting the trees, enabling preventive and corrective actions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>These endotherapy treatments are carried out by Injecthor de M\u00e9xico S. de R.L. de C.V.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acciones realizadas Proceso de perforaci\u00f3n: en cada \u00e1rbol seleccionado se perforan los orificios necesarios de acuerdo con su circunferencia, con el apoyo de un taladro de 1\/2 y broca especial para madera (de gusano).
