Reduction of Oleocellosis in Mandarins
Through Research Programs in Greece and abroad, Agrology proved that the superior quality and integrated innovative technologies of the Specialized Nutrition products make the difference in crops from the very first applications!
Our ultimate goal is to demonstrate that the Agrology Specialized Nutrition Programs constitute a profitable investment for producers, as the financial benefits more than cover the cost of the additional applications!
One such Research Program on Mandarins of the Encore variety was carried out in Chania in collaboration with Dr. Vasileios Ziogas, Trainee Researcher at the Institute of Olive Tree, Subtropical Crops and Viticulture of the Hellenic Agricultural Organization (ELGO) DIMITRA.
The researchers divided the crop into 2 sections. One section’s name was Control and the second Agrology Program. In the Agrology section, there were complementary interventions applied with the Specialized Nutrition Product Gravital Force SC, aiming to reduce the oleocellosis in mandarins.
