How does the ficosagro® biostimulant work in crops in greenhouses?
February 6, 2020Sustainable Farming Practices
February 12, 2020Why do greenhouses need
innovative solutions?
Greenhouses play an essential role in modern agriculture, allowing year-round crop production in a controlled environment. However, these facilities also face significant challenges, such as soil degradation and nutrient deficiencies. To address these issues, the microorganisms in the bioestimulant ficosagro® can be an innovative solution that contributes to soil regeneration.
This eco-friendly input, certified by Sohiscert, uses a combination of beneficial microorganisms: its regenerative action revitalizes the soil, improves nutrient absorption, and enhances plant health, resulting in stronger, healthier, and consequently more productive and sustainable crops.

Importance of greenhouses
in global agriculture
Did you know that Spain is the third country with the most greenhouses in the world, only behind China and Japan?
To understand their importance, consider these facts:
In 2016, the value of horticultural production in greenhouses in Spain exceeded 2.5 billion euros, representing 43% of the total sector value.
Andalusia produces 80% of these crops, with Almería concentrating 55%.
65% of the production is exported, making greenhouses a key driver for the Spanish economy.
These data underline the need for innovative and efficient agricultural solutions that maximize yield, maintain soil health, and ensure sustainable production. In this context, ficosagro® has become an essential tool for farmers and agricultural companies in this sector.
How does the bioestimulant ficosagro®
improve greenhouse production?
Trials conducted with ficosagro® in greenhouse crops such as tomatoes, peppers, beans, onions, zucchinis, cucumbers, melons, and watermelons showed results similar to those obtained in other crops like strawberries, blueberries, or citrus fruits, demonstrating the versatility of the bioestimulant in different types of crops.
01
Improves flowering and fruit set
Ficosagro® stimulates the production of plant hormones that enhance flower development, fruit set, and fruit growth. This translates into higher yields and more uniform fruits.
02
Extends the productive life of the crop
Thanks to soil regeneration and root strengthening, crops treated with ficosagro® have a longer productive life, allowing farmers to achieve higher productivity in each cycle.
03
Uniform crop growth
The balance of nutrients in the root zone allows plants to grow uniformly, resulting in more homogeneous and, therefore, more marketable crops.
04
Enhances crop resistance to stress situations
Crops treated with ficosagro® are more resistant to pests, diseases, and environmental stress factors, as the enhanced rooting allows for healthier and stronger plants capable of better withstanding water stress or high temperatures.

The key lies in
soil regeneration
Soil regeneration is the most important benefit provided by the bioestimulant ficosagro®.
The soil in greenhouses, after several growing seasons, becomes depleted of nutrients and organic matter, reducing its fertility. However, with the combined action of ficosagro® microbial strains, it is possible to:

Restore the organic structure of the soil

Increase microbial diversity, making nutrients more accessible to the roots.

Revitalize the soil’s capacity to sustain healthy crop growth.
The bioestimulant ficosagro® transforms greenhouse production through soil regeneration, root enhancement, plant strengthening, and yield maximization.
