Hard Wheat Production – Mega Success Story

Hard Wheat Production

Agrology, moving on to the next step of the successful evidence-based applications conducted since 2017 in numerous crops throughout Greece, is starting a series of large-scale evidence-based Success Stories in the country’s main crops. Direct partners in the company’s new venture are various Commercial Stores of Agricultural Supplies that belong to the Nutrimasters network, as well as Agricultural Cooperatives.

The main objective of this initiative is to support the production and dynamics of crops, by supporting a large number of producers with the company know-how and products of Specialized Nutrition, which constitute a profitable investment, as the economic benefits more than cover the cost of the applications.
