Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE) and Its Relationship with the Biostimulant VitaMare by Ficosterra
Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE) refers to the ability of plants to utilize the available nutrients in the soil optimally. This concept is fundamental for reducing the environmental impact of agriculture by minimizing nutrient losses and improving crop yield.
NUE is influenced by nutrient availability, soil properties, and proper fertilizer management. Improving this efficiency can help reduce the excessive use of fertilizers and their environmental consequences, such as water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. According to various studies, improving NUE is key to more sustainable and efficient agriculture. You can find more details in this Science Direct article.
Biostimulants, such as those derived from seaweed, promote root development in plants. Roots are responsible for absorbing water and nutrients from the soil and also serve as a reserve.
Proper fertilizer management based on the specific needs of each soil and crop is essential to optimize NUE.
Beneficial Microorganisms: Promoting microbial activity in the soil improves nutrient solubilization and absorption.
A practical approach in modern agriculture is the application of products like the liquid biostimulant VitaMare by Ficosterra.
VitaMare, one of Ficosterra’s most innovative products, is a liquid
biostimulant that combines seaweed extracts with specific microbial strains.
This product aims to improve nutrient use efficiency in plants, enhancing
nutrient absorption and reducing dependence on synthetic fertilizers.
The microorganisms in VitaMare help fix nitrogen and solubilize phosphorus and potassium, improving the availability of these nutrients in the soil. This property enhances their efficient use by plants, significantly reducing potential losses.
The seaweed extracts in VitaMare provide bioactive compounds that stimulate root development
and strengthen plants’ ability to withstand abiotic stress such as drought or extreme temperatures. Robust, well-nourished plants are less likely to suffer from
diseases or pathogens.
By improving nutrient
absorption and utilization, VitaMare allows farmers to reduce the amount of fertilizers applied
without sacrificing crop productivity,
thereby reducing environmental impact and costs.
They provide numerous active principles that promote root growth, improving nutrient absorption and helping plants face adverse environmental conditions.
These microorganisms promote atmospheric nitrogen fixation and nutrient solubilization, such as phosphorus, potassium, and iron, essential for plant growth and development.
VitaMare improves both nutrient availability in the soil and plants’ ability to use them efficiently. The product’s microorganisms work directly on the soil, promoting a favorable environment for microbial activity, increasing the concentration of beneficial bacteria. This not only facilitates efficient nutrient use but also contributes to long-term soil health, ensuring agricultural sustainability.

Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE) is fundamental for the future of sustainable
agriculture. Improving this efficiency reduces fertilizer use, protects the
environment, and ensures optimal crop yield. Biostimulant products like VitaMare by Ficosterra, which combine advanced biological technologies with natural components like seaweed and microorganisms, play a key role in this process. VitaMare not only improves NUE but also contributes to more sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture.
Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE) is the ability of plants to efficiently use soil nutrients, minimizing waste and maximizing growth.
VitaMare contains microorganisms and macroalgae extracts that promote rooting and nutrient absorption while contributing to the fixation of phosphorus, potassium, and iron.
VitaMare contains specific microbial strains that fix nitrogen while solubilizing phosphorus, potassium, and iron, along with seaweed extracts that stimulate rooting.
Efficient nutrient absorption reduces fertilizer use, decreases environmental impact, and improves farmer profitability.
VitaMare promotes a significant increase in microbial activity in the soil, improving its fertility and structure in the long term.
Besides improving NUE, TerraMare helps plants resist adverse conditions like drought while optimizing their development at all growth stages.
At Ficosterra, we are experts in soil regeneration exhausted by overexploitation. We manufacture biostimulants and biofertilizers based on seaweed, an ancient fertilizer that we have enhanced through the development of various technologies.
