It enhances tomato productivity through favoring inflorescence, plant growth, vegetable medium weight, contents of vitamin C and organic acids.
The result consist in activating plant physiological and biochemical processes, as the alga are present through phitihormons, vitamins, proteins, and other physiologically active substances.
ADVANTAGES
- Improves the performance of plants and quality of vegetables;
- Increases tomato plants fruit bearing capacity by 40-42%;
- Increases inflorescence;
- Enhances tomato yields by 40%.
Current stage of development -
Desired collaboration - marketing, cooperation, financial assistance |
