Agrology Success Stories – Increase in Total Yield in Alfalfa Cultivation

Through Agrology Success Stories in Greece and Abroad, it is proven that the superior quality and integrated innovative technologies of Agrology’s Functional Crop Nutrition® products, make a difference in crops from the very first applications!

Our goal is to demonstrate that Agrology’s Functional Crop Nutrition® Programs are a profitable investment for farmers, as the financial benefits exceed the extra cost of supplemental applications!

One such Success Story was carried out in Alfalfa (SS_2025_354_GR) in 2025, in collaboration with the Commercial Store of Agricultural Supplies and Nutrimaster® “Tsoutis Vasileios”, in the region of Thesprotia. Throughout the process, the farmer benefited from the continuous guidance and support offered by Agrology’s Technical Department and the collaborating agricultural store.

The crop area was divided into two equal plots, one was used as Control, while Agrology’s Program was applied to the other plot. In both plots, the farmer used the same plant protection and plant nutrition-fertilization program, apart from additional applications with Agrology’s Functional Crop Nutrition® products.
