For over 30 years, we’ve been helping growers around the world to improve their soil biology. Healthy soil is the foundation for strong, healthy crops that are more resistant to challenges such as drought, excessive rainfall, and diseases.
Challenges for the soil
However, soil quality is under pressure. Various factors contribute to the deterioration of soil quality, which directly affects crop growth. The main challenges are:
- Loss of converted organic matter – Humus is essential for a fertile soil and active microbial life.
- Degraded soil condition – A depleted soil limits root development and nutrient uptake.
- Erosion – Fertile soil layers get washed away, leaving plants with fewer nutrients.
- Salinization – This makes water and nutrient uptake more difficult.
- Excessive use of fertilisers – This disrupts the natural balance in the soil.
These situations make crops more vulnerable to diseases and pests, causing curative control measures to become less effective. Therefore, preventive actions are crucial to making both soil and plants strong from the start, as prevention is better than cure. Moreover, the number of approved crop protection products is continually decreasing, further increasing the need to make crops more resilient to diseases and pests.
Our solution: a holistic approach
To improve soil structure, plant health and the natural resilience of crops, we treat and soil and plants as one connected system. This is how we build from the inside out:
- Healthy soil biology – We stimulate microbial activity and organic matter buildup in the soil.
- Improved soil structure and fertility – We optimize water management and nutrient availability.
- Natural resilience of crops – With biostimulants and organic fertilisers, we increase plants’ natural resilience.
- Reduced dependence on chemical crop protection – With a more resilient cultivation system, we reduce the need for chemical crop protection.
Through our GrowSolutions-concept, we offer a wide range of soil improvers, organic fertilisers and biostimulants, divided into five categories:
- Soil Health – For a healthy and balanced soil.
- Optimize Root Zone – Promotes strong root development and nutrient uptake capacity.
- Nutrients – Ensures a balanced and efficient nutrient supply.
- Efficient Uptake – Helps plants better absorb and utilize nutrients.
- Plant Resilience – Strengthens the natural defence mechanisms of crops.
Our portfolio supports the interaction between plants and soil throughout all growth stages. As a result, we not only achieve optimal results in the short term within the growing season but also strengthen soil biology and the sustainability of the agricultural system in the long term.
Together towards more sustainable cultivation
Sustainable cultivation starts with the soil. With our holistic approach, we offer growers innovative and sustainable solutions that contribute not only to improved plant health and better yields but also to future-proof and ecologically responsible farming. Together, we are building a resilient and sustainable cultivation system, now and for future generations.
