Ficosterra has gone to Almer\u00eda to hear the testimony of the agricultural technical engineer Laura Duarte who tells us her experience in the use of our biostimulant,<\/strong>ficosagro\u00ae <\/strong><\/a>, in the trials of horticultural in greenhouses.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Did you know\nthat Spain is, after China and Japan, the country with the most greenhouses in\nthe world?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To give you an idea: in\n2016 the value of horticultural production in greenhouses exceeded 2,500\nmillion euros<\/strong>, representing 43% of the total dollar value<\/strong> of this\nsector. Andalusia concentrates 80% of these crops and, specifically, in\nAlmeria, 55%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another important fact to consider for our economy: 65% of the production is exported!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these relevant data, the Spanish farmer-entrepreneur has no choice but to devote special attention to caring for and optimizing the entire production process<\/em> of their crops because otherwise, they (and all of us) have a lot to lose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aware of this, Ficosterra<\/strong> has made the results of our Success Cases (such as the trials of moreno and tagete tomatoes in Madrid<\/a> or potatoes in Valldolid<\/a>) available to distributors and farmers. They were obtained with its biostimulant ficosagro\u00ae<\/a>, a 100% ecological input, certified by<\/strong> the Sohiscert agri-food certification entity, based on extracts of algae and microorganisms<\/strong>, whose regenerative action of the soil allows for the increase in productivity and profitability of crops in a sustainable and environmentally friendly<\/strong> way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tests carried out during the 2018 and 2019 campaigns in crops in greenhouses (tomatoes, peppers, beans, onions, zucchini, or cucumbers) have left results very similar to those we have obtained in other crops such as strawberries, blueberries, citruses, potatoes, or alfalfa.<\/p>\n\n\n

The shared action of the algae and the microorganisms<\/strong> cause the crops to experience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Improvement <\/strong>of the fruit set and fattening<\/strong><\/li>
  • Increased and longer <\/strong>useful crop life<\/li>
  • Homogeneity <\/strong>of the crop<\/li>
  • Generalized improvement <\/strong>in crop health<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    What is the key?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The regeneration of the\nsoil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A nutrient-depleted<\/strong>\nsoil is not able to give the plant what it needs to grow and multiply its\nproduction. On the contrary, soil regenerated<\/strong> by the collective action\nof algae and microorganism<\/strong> extracts makes the necessary nutrients\navailable to the crop so that it can grow healthily, vigorously and,\nconsequently, multiply its production<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Technicians, farmers, and entrepreneurs have been able to confirm these results and increasingly there are more that are adding to the call of sustainable agriculture. Look at the testimony of the agricultural technical engineer Laura Duarte (Cosupral)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
