Fertilizers are all naturally- or chemically-produced substrates, which are used to deliver nutrients to the soil and to ensure good plant growth. They are applied to the plants in solid or liquid form and are essentially based on the following primary macronutrients: Nitrogen Potassium Phosphorous Factors like technological improvements, environmental restrictions, climate changes, etc., contribute to changes in nutrient management. This makes Specialities more and more important. Formulations with secondary macronutrients like magnesium, calcium, sulfur and micronutrients like boron, manganese,...

PLANT PROTECTION Plant protectants are necessary to protect plants from pests that could compromise plant growth (insects, fungal diseases, viruses, bacteria and weeds). Apart from additives, plant protectants usually consist of one or more active substances which give them the desired properties. Main Types Fungicides protect plants from diseases which affect production rate and quality or, in the worst case, could completely destroy the crop. Herbicides reduce the growth of weeds which affect the production rate and the quality of the crop. Insecticides protect plants against insects. Here,...

SEED TREATMENT In seed treatment, the grain is coated with targeted growth-enhancing substances and growth-protectants during the dressing process. Consequently, the seeds are protected from disease and their optimal growth is ensured from the moment they are sown. Depending on pest species and nutrient requirements, various formulations exist to utilize the full yield potential. Various methods are used to apply the growth-enhancing substances, such as (micro)nutrients, crop regulators and growth modulators, as well as inoculants and other growth-protectant substances, to the seeds: Encapsulation...
