Results

  • Due to Agrolution pHLow the plants were better nourished (proved by SPAD measurements) and improved branching was observed with longer first-year shoots, which will positively affect the yield next year.
  • Using Agrolution pHLow, extra income of €3,075 per ha was generated compared to grower practice.
  • By using Agrolution pHLow, the total yield increased by 8.4%.
