Ficosterra’s “Nutrialgae<\/a>” project has achieved its goal of reducing the use of chemical fertilization without affecting crop productivity.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The trials of the Nutrialgae<\/a> project, promoted by the United Nations Development Program (UNPD), through the Ocean Innovation Challenge (OIC)<\/a> initiative and developed in Mexico and Morocco, have ended.<\/h4>\n

Ficosterra<\/strong><\/a> has just presented its results to the authorities of the United Nations Development Program \/ Ocean Innovation Challenge, which demonstrated that it is possible to increase up to 20% productivity by reducing conventional fertilization by 30% for the first time, with the consequent savings in costs and environmental pollution.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The key has been to complement the conventional fertilization program with biostimulants made with seaweed and microorganisms extracts<\/a>, which prevent contamination of aquifers, caused by phosphorous, nitrogen, and potassium residues that are not fully assimilated by crops.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\t\t\t
