The effectiveness of Indumax against the Verticillium fungus in eggplant crops

Eggplant cultivation is very sensitive to the Verticillium, a fungus that penetrates through the roots and affects the transit of the sap, causing wilting and desiccation. With special incidence in solanaceae such as eggplant, tomato or bell pepper, it weakens plants to the point of considerably reducing crop yields or, in the worst cases, causing […]

MAFA BIOSTIMULANTS IN CUCUMBER CULTIVATION: MORE QUANTITY AND LARGER SIZE FRUITS

Cucumber cultivation is very important, due to it has a high consumption rate. Furthermore, it is a stable production in terms of cultivated area.
