We have great teams across the world and we love to see what they get up to.
We were pleased to join the Eyz Agro team recently in Chile, where we attended an agricultural fair in the San Pedro de Melipilla area – an area known for strawberry and vegetable production.
From our headquarters in Italy to the fields of India we are proud to be distributing our products across the globe.
Our India team recently met with M/s Vachan Seeds at Raipur, Chattisgarh of India who were interested to learn how our products could support their seed production business growing tomato, Okra, Brinjal and cucurbits.
It was also great to join Srion Agri Solutions Ltd in Andrha Pradesh, India recently to discuss our product with their customers.
Great discussions were had and it was a great opportunity to discuss FertiGlobal technologies and how they can help in the production of quality crops.
We were also pleased to join them on customer visits in the Tadipatri and Ananthapur regions.
Key to our work across the globe is getting to know our customers, and helping them to know our product.
FertiGlobal is committed to developing innovative technologies which support sustainable crop management strategies.
We offer exceptional biostimulants and crop nutrition solutions, developed by our team of scientists to help face challenges presented to growers in the field.
Since it’s inception, R&D has been the driver behind our work – developing innovative technologies and crop management programmes that meet the needs of farmers today and tomorrow.
Wheat, maize and rice may be the world’s top three crops, but guess what’s at number four?
The potato is the world’s most important non-grain crop, and Europe is the world’s second-largest potato producer. That makes Potato Europe, the annual exhibition for the European potato industry, a major event in the calendar of growers and suppliers alike.
Held this year in Germany, Europe’s largest producer, the September event saw Fertiglobal join over 100 exhibitors and 8,000 visitors in flocking to Lower Saxony – Germany’s ‘potato state’ – to exchange ideas and information on current topics and new products.
“The potato’s come a long way since it was first introduced to Europe less than 500 years ago,” says Dr Matthias Griesbach, Fertiglobal’s sales director, and one of the five-strong Fertiglobal team at the two-day event.
“Besides its role as a staple crop, the potato is also agronomically significant, historically, as one of the first crops in which farmers recognised the value and importance of fertiliser.
“Today, we continue to help farmers get more from their crops through appropriate and innovative potato nutrition products. It’s great to be exhibiting at a show like Potato Europe and discussing our innovative, environmentally friendly nutrition technologies.”
Innovation was certainly a major thread running through Potato Europe 2022. This year’s event incorporated a special exhibition, Smart Potato Farming, which highlighted the role of digital technologies in current potato production – Europe is a hotbed of agritech development – and the exciting tech solutions that are just around the corner.
“We were particularly interested in some of the sensor solutions,” says Dr Griesbach, “especially those relating to spot spraying and innovative nozzle technologies, because they fit with our own Fertiglobal philosophy about resource-use efficiency and farm productivity.
“We must reduce our use of plant protection products and improve fertiliser efficiency,” he says. “On-farm labour is also a well-recognised problem for many producers. Good, reliable technology can provide the industry with viable solutions to these challenges.”
Potato Europe is an annual event, rotating between Germany, Belgium, France and the Netherlands. With visitors from more than 65 countries in attendance, it reaches far beyond a purely European audience: attendees from North Africa, North and South America, and Asia – key regions for Fertiglobal – also come to the exhibition to keep abreast of industry trends.
Visitors commonly cite information on new varieties, cultivation and agronomy methods, and on-site demonstrations of equipment as the main reasons to visit the event in person.
“Potato Europe is a key showcase for technological leaps in potato production,” says the event’s supervisory board, “making this event important not only for potato growers but also the entire value chain. The key solutions to current problems from operational practice are usually always presented here.”
If you didn’t manage to make it to the 2022 event, put these dates in your diary: 6-7 September 2023, near Tournai, Belgium. We’ll look forward to meeting you!
Meeting scientists and staff at the ICAR-National Institute of Biotic Stress Management in India recently was a fantastic opportunity to discuss the research mandate and related activities.
We are proud to have the opportunity to build valuable relationships with this institution and happy to be working alongside an institute who is so aligned with our Crop Management goals.
Big event coming up, not to be missed!
We are pleased to invite you to Potato Europe 2022 on September 7 and 8, save the date!
The fair will take place in Rittergut Brockerode, Germany and will be a unique opportunity to meet the most important players of the agribusiness sector.
The two full days will be entirely dedicated to potatoes: a great chance to keep up to date with all the latest innovation related to their cultivation, the supply chain and their enormous potential in feeding the world’s growing population.
Fertiglobal team will present a special crop management plan focused on the peculiarities of the tuber, spreading the most innovative and eco-friendly nutrition technologies that are helping farmers worldwide growing stronger and healthier plants.
Come and visit us at the stand ZB28 if you are passing by!

🍌 Are you ready for a potassium boost?
We are in the South of India, in the Country’s second largest banana market located in Tamil Nadu. Our local team has been following a field trial to test Semia formulation, powered by #EnNuVi technology and OK solution, powered by Foliarel.
These banana plants tell us a lot about the benefits of this powerful combination of active ingredients:
🌿 broad and greener leaves
💪 overall better plant health
📈 excellent growth
The farmers appreciated a significant decrease of infection of Sigatoka (banana leaf-spot disease) and a better resistance against abiotic stresses.
Agriculture of the future ➡️ here we come!
Cutting-edge technology can be very helpful to farmers who are experiencing water shortages in their fields, helping to prolong plant life and prevent cell deterioration.
➡️ FertiGlobal #Alpan is a patented high analysis suspension fertilizer rich in Magnesium complexed by bioactive polyphenols. Its application makes it possible to reduce water consumption and reduce drought stresses in emergency situations.
Alpan is powered by EnNuVi Technology, the beating heart of Fertiglobal’s #ENVisionProject, awarded by the European Union’s #LIFEprogramme. Among the goals of the projects is to drastically reduce water consumption in agriculture by up to 30% 💧
🍅 Tomato is undoubtedly one of the most popular fruits in the world, both for fresh consumption and in processed products.
This crop is rather delicate and requires well-hydrated soils and a fairly dry climate: too much humidity can cause rot and stress throughout the plant, making it vulnerable to developing other diseases.
Through this short video below we fly to China, to hear from a local farmer the effect he could observe after applying Mantus on his crops, in order to nourish tomato plants from within. This innovative solution, powered by #EnNuVi Technology, takes full advantage of the combined action of plant nutrients and bioactive polyphenols.
Satisfying results were not slow in coming, both in plants grown in direct sunlight and in greenhouse. The farmer hightlights:
🌱 Excellent growth
🌱 Lower incidence of diseases
🌱 Stiff and strong stems
🌱 Healthy and well-stretched leaves
🌾 The current alarming drought levels are seriously endangering the work of many farmers, often forcing them to harvest earlier than they should.
💧When experiencing lack of water, the plant activates emergency procedures to conserve fluids.
This causes abiotic stress to the cells – a stress that has a non-pathogenic origin, but is internal to the plant itself.
If the situation is prolonged, the plant’s metabolism will be altered, limiting vital functions and consequently the growth. When the threshold limit is exceeded, the damage becomes irreparable, even if water is replenished.
Technology can help a lot to prolong the life of the plant as much as possible: a wise combination of essential elements can boost the strength of cells, increasing natural defenses while also promoting more positive reactions against drought stresses.
