Consolidated Results related to Cherry Yield Increase
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!
A series of such Success Stories were carried out in cherry cultivation for 4 consecutive years in different regions of Greece, in collaboration with Commercial Stores of Agricultural Supplies. Throughout the process, the farmers benefited from the continuous guidance and support offered by Agrology’s Technical Department and the collaborating agricultural stores.
The crop area of each trial was divided into two equal 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.
Identity of the Success Stories
From 2019 to 2022, 17 Trials in Cherry were conducted in different Regions of Northern Greece.
Success Stories Objectives
By applying Agrology’s Functional Crop Nutrition® products during specific growth stages, farmers managed to achieve significant agronomic benefits for their crop.
The objectives of the Cherry Success Story were to Increase Fruit Weight and Total Yield.
