Why is fertilizing so important?
Fertilizing is caring. How we
choose to do it today will shape
the soil we have tomorrow.
Fertilizing is optimizing
Based on the
needs of your crops
Organic fertilization offers several benefits for agriculture and the environment. Using organic fertilizers and soil amendments, such as those produced through composting, enhances soil quality by increasing its fertility and microbial biodiversity. This leads to crops that are more resistant to diseases and pests, while also reducing the need for
Different phases of fertilization
Initial phase
Basal
fertilization
It is the type of fertilization carried out at specific stages of the crop cycle (e.g., vegetative growth, flowering, grain filling, fruit set). Top-dressing fertilization acts as a nutrient booster that supports the plant during a more specific and critical phase of its cycle.
This is where FERBIO works as a nutrient retainer in the soil, helping to reduce leaching or runoff. By improving soil structure, it enhances the soil’s ability to retain both nutrients and water, as well as the nutrients provided directly by FERBIO.
Specific phases
Top-dressing fertilization
This is a very specific type of fertilization, applied in liquid spray form, to address particular plant deficiencies or to stimulate certain processes. Typically, we are talking about micronutrient deficiencies.
A soil treated with FERBIO requires fewer of these types of fertilizers, as the amendment is rich in micronutrients.
Fix nutrient shortages
Foliar
fertilization
This is the type of fertilization practiced at the beginning of the crop cycle. Its purpose is to supply the necessary amount of less mobile nutrients that are less prone to leaching, such as phosphorus and potassium, as well as a portion of nitrogen.
It is in base fertilization that FERBIO helps reduce the use of mineral fertilizers, both due to its nutrient content and the soil improvements inherent to the application of organic matter.
