Results during the growth and harvest stages

  • Our plantation was compared with a competing fertilizer and with the traditional fertilization method used by the customer (control group).
  • According to the customer, between June and July, our plantation showed no differences compared to the control plot. The customer stated that everything was “normal” and raised no objections regarding the fertilizer’s effectiveness. This is confirmed by our recording with the customer dated July 25, 2023.
  • In the illustrative photos, we can see that our plantation and the control plot are uniformly green. At the same time, we see more lighter patches in the control plot. Meanwhile, the plantation fertilized with a competing fertilizer (far left) is entirely light in color.
  • Between August and September, the customer noticed that the quality of the shrubs on our plantation had deteriorated—they were less green and less branched. The size and quantity of the tubers were not checked.

RESULTS AT THE HARVEST STAGE

  • The following analysis is based on a visit conducted on October 12, 2023.
  • Above all, the customer was very surprised by the size of the harvest in two respects: the size of the potatoes and the yield per hectare.
  • The average size of the potatoes met the customer's expectations.
  • The harvest included several potatoes of a size and weight that the client claims he had never seen in his 30 years of work. The largest specimens were given a place of honor at the main reception desk, in the offices, and on the CEO’s desk.
  • This specimen measures 16.5 × 10 cm and weighs 1.74 kg! 🙂

Conclusions after the harvest

  • Thanks to FITOVALOR fertilizer, yields were 6.6% higher than those of the control group and 22.6% higher than yields from plantations fertilized with a competing product. This result is particularly surprising given the observations made at the plantations during the growth stage—especially in the second half of the third quarter.
  • Our plantation yielded a very high gross yield of 59.5 t/ha, compared to 55.8 t/ha in the control group (3.7 t/ha less), and 48.5 t/ha on the plantation treated with a competitor’s fertilizer.
  • The tubers themselves also surprised the customer, who said, “I’ve never dug up potatoes this big before.”
  • As demonstrated by this potato farm, FITOVALOR fertilizer does not show its effects during the growing season, yet it yields a higher harvest.
