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 application programs with AGROLOGY’s Functional Crop Nutrition® products are an obvious investment for producers, as the financial benefits exceed the cost of supplemental applications!
One such Success Story was carried out on Greenhouse Cucumber, var. Beth alpha (SS 2024_13a_GR) in Heraklion, Crete in collaboration with the agricultural store and Nutrimaster “Geoponiki Frontida Papadakis IKE”, in 2024. Throughout the process, the farmer benefited from the continuous guidance and support offered by AGROLOGY’s Technical Department and the collaborating agricultural store.
The greenhouse was divided into two plots, one was used as the 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 the additional applications with AGROLOGY’s Functional Crop Nutrition® products.

Success Story Results
During the field trials, sampling was conducted in both treatments: the Control and the AGROLOGY Program while total yield was also measured. As a result, the AGROLOGY Program demonstrated impressive improvements in the Growth Parameters of Greenhouse Cucumber cultivation, benefiting the farmer.
Specifically, the following were achieved:
- Total Yield Increase
Total Yield Increase: +9.4 t/ha or 18.7%
- Agrology: 59.8 t/ha
- Control: 50.4 t/ha
2. Plant Vigor Improvement
3. Farmer’s Observations
- More vigorous plants
- Flowering Enhancement
- Yield Increase
Results’ Synopsis – Conclusions
Investment – Farmer’s Financial Benefit
The increase in total yield of 9.4 t/ha contributed to the increase of the farmer’s income.
