| Why did we decide to launch GROWING? |
Although we are already present in 15 countries, Asfertglobal wants to continue, as we have been from day one, to be close to those who have helped us grow.
So, through GROWING, we want to share with you bimonthly
our technical know-how, wherever we go, and what our partners say from their
experience in the field with ASFERTGLOBAL solutions. |

| Decrease in the nutritional richness of food |
The consumer is increasingly demanding and focused on the quality of food he / she purchases, with concerns like nutritional value, side effects on health and well-being, and food safety in what concerns origin and mode of production.
We can evaluate these concerns to be very
reasonable through the negative evolution, for example, that occurred in a
period of 50 years in the nutrient richness of many fruits and vegetables,
evidenced by the study published in the Journal of the American College of
Nutrition. |

| Biofertilizers:
positive impact on the nutritional richness of foods |
Macronutrients are available in nature in limited quantities and around 50% of the total Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium applied to crops are not absorbed by plants since Phosphorus is blocked, and Nitrogen and Potassium are leached. It was these circumstances that led us to invest in the research of biofertilizers (based on soil microorganisms).
Recent results of trials made with the Kiplant All-Grip, Kiplant iNmass and Mycoshell Dripper biofertilizers demonstrated that with their use we are contributing to the production of nutritionally richer foods.

| Kiplant INDUCER applied to apples in the West
region - Portugal |
On August 16th we accompanied one of the first days of the Royal Gala apple harvest in the area of Alvorninha (Alcobaça - Portugal).
We now share some photos of this orchard where
the INDUCER (inducer of dormancy breakdown) was applied on 01/30/2018 in mixture
with HB15.
|
|
In the words of Mr. Octávio Ferreira
(producer) |
|
“In an apple orchard that, when pruning, it was
said that a low production was expected, we managed after all to have the adequate
fruit load, which demonstrates that INDUCER has enhanced fruit set.
We were able to manage the harvest’s anticipation and timing, which is crucial in medium-sized farms, as is our case.’’ |
| And once again, the ASFERTGLOBAL enjoyed a feeling of pride given by the excellence and quality of the production
obtained by our customers! |
