A NEW APPROACH TO CROP NUTRITION

Since late 1800 synthetic fertilisers are being used by agriculture. Basically, these fertilisers are combinations of salts providing a limited range of nutritive elements to plants.

As research has shown, there is a limit to what crops can take-up and use in terms of nutrients. This means that applying more and more of a nutrient will not further increase production but instead will accelerate the deterioration of soils and the environment.

For several reasons we need a new way of thinking based on scientific insights in the interaction between environment, crops, soils and management.

Croptivate® is excited to contribute to this new endeavour, so that our children can keep on producing their food.

OUR PHILOSOPHY OUR SOLUTIONS

All our advice and products combine the smart use of Energy, Nutrients and Stimulants. We generate practical, simplified but scientifically sound advice and all Croptivate® products contain these three functional ingredients.

ENERGY

Any form of stress will negatively impact plants’ energy leading to sub-optimal performance. Energy management becomes ever more important in a rapidly changing climate.

NUTRIENTS

Nutrients are more than NPK alone. Organic compounds are also part of nutrition. Adequate nutrient availability is the key to healthy and productive plants. Plants are what they eat!

STIMULANTS

In order to function well, plants are dependent on minute quantities of certain molecules. Making sure these molecules are available at the right moment can give amazing results.
