A uniquely successful combination of viticultural nutrition! As we head towards the critical germination and flowering stages for most grape varieties, we must not forget that the inter-foliar applications of specialized nutrition products & biostimulants – growth regulators, at these stages, are quite important for the normal growth of the stump. PHYTOTHREPTIKI S.A., has developed… Continue reading A uniquely successful combination of viticultural nutrition

Wheat (Triticum ssp.) is the third most important cereal crop worldwide, constituting a staple food for 36% of the world’s population. Today, its area of cultivation exceeds that of any other crop. In order for wheat to be able to meet the needs of a growing population (growing at 1.15% per year), the projected demand… Continue reading Basic fertilization of Cereals, with additional management of their physiology

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) is considered one of the most important horticultural crops worldwide, while in Greece table tomato is the second most important crop after potato. It has been estimated that in outdoor cultivation it reaches yields of up to 6 tons/stremmas, while in greenhouse – hydroponic cultivation it can reach yields of more… Continue reading BEST fertilizers in the cultivation of tomatoes

Enhancing plant resistance to abiotic stresses is a fairly important feature for the normal growth of high value crops, such as horticultural species. Abiotic stresses (extreme temperatures, high salinity, drought, etc.) have a negative effect not only on yield, but also on the quality of the products produced, causing morphological, physiological and biochemical changes, significantly… Continue reading Cold & Biostimulants

Marine algae have been used since ancient times in agriculture to improve soil fertility and yield (Khan et al., 2009). There is evidence of the use of marine algae in ancient Japan, based on the food goddess “Ukimochi”, of their application in agricultural practice in the Roman Empire and in many other ancient civilisations in… Continue reading Seaweed extracts as biostimulants

Biostimulants are chemicals and microorganisms that are widely used in agricultural practice to enhance the growth of plant organisms. Biostimulants are not pure nutrients. On the contrary, they facilitate nutrient uptake or contribute favourably to promoting plant growth or reducing abiotic stress. They are, also, available in a variety of formulations and with a variety… Continue reading Biostimulants as an innovation in agriculture
