FertiGlobal\u2019s set on providing farmers with the tools they need to successfully adopt a new approach to crop protection.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When you think of crop protection, you probably think of agrochemicals, right? That\u2019s the traditional approach to crop protection: inputs which, when applied to the crop, build up a chemical shield to defend against attack from diseases and pests.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a tried-and-tested method. And it allows farmers to produce reliable quantities of food at affordable prices. But could we do better?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stress<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing: amongst the world\u2019s staple crops, we lose on average about 70% of crop productivity due to stress, whether abiotic or biotic. Most crops never reach even 20% of their true potential.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11820\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fertiglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/global-challenge.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1226\" height=\"690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fertiglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/global-challenge.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.fertiglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/global-challenge-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.fertiglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/global-challenge-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.fertiglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/global-challenge-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fertiglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/global-challenge-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.fertiglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/global-challenge-320x180.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1226px) 100vw, 1226px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yet because it\u2019s not always obvious when a crop is stressed, many farmers don\u2019t realise the scale of the problem. Thus hidden stress translates into hidden loss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rethinking crop protection<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We reframed the problem and redefined the category: crop protection should be about supporting plants to cope with stress. We would develop products that could empower plants to defend themselves, through their own defence and resistance systems, without the reliance on pesticides.<\/p>\n<p>Our approach to crop protection encompasses three elements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nutrition, to provide <strong>energy<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Bioactivation, to <strong>prime and prepare<\/strong> the plant to cope adequately in a stress situation<\/li>\n<li>Biostimulation, to help the plant <strong>mobilise<\/strong> its anti-stress mechanism<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s all about the nutrition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We believe in a crop protection that\u2019s built on a sound understanding of crop nutrition. Intensive crop nutrition gives crops the best protection \u2013 against pests, against disease, against the stress arising from extremes of weather \u2013 to in turn ensure productive, high-yielding, high-quality output.<\/p>\n<p>Wrap this all up in a long-term, holistic methodology and you have the Crop Management Vision that underpins our entire strategy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Built on Technology <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bioactivation is the innovative heart of our programme. First introduced through our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fertiglobal.com\/technologies#ennuvi\">EnNuVi<\/a> platform \u2013 an acronym of\u00a0<strong>En<\/strong>hance,\u00a0<strong>Nu<\/strong>rture,\u00a0<strong>Vi<\/strong>talize \u2013 this combination of active polyphenols and selected natural ingredients is protected by patent and scientifically validated in ongoing trials and assessments.<\/p>\n<p>Its primary effect we term the \u2018stay-green\u2019 effect. By keeping the plant green, we maximise photosynthesis and thus available energy. Not only does this \u2018turbocharge\u2019 the plant\u2019s natural defence system, it also directly increases yield. Meanwhile, secondary effects include reduced pesticide volumes and decreased water consumption, thanks to the plant\u2019s ability to better manage periods of stress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Crop Management Programs (CMP)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Think of EnNuVi as the \u2018engine\u2019 for the rest of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fertiglobal.com\/cmp\/\">CMP<\/a>, towing a train comprising products drawn from our other technologies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fertiglobal.com\/technologies#foliflo\">Foliflo<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fertiglobal.com\/technologies#folimac\">Folimac<\/a> for the all-important delivery of nutrition<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fertiglobal.com\/technologies#folistim\">Folistim<\/a> to provide the biostimulation that draws everything together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our team, both those in headquarters in Italy and in-country, use products drawn from each of our flagship technologies to compile specific, tailored CMPs for each crop. For example, a crop needing vegetative yield (lettuce, for example) will have a different nutritional and biostimulant requirement from that producing reproductive yield (fruit).<\/p>\n<p>Every CMP is designed to help the plant manage stress more efficiently, allowing farmers to deliver the high-yielding, high-quality output from whatever crop they\u2019re growing: cereals, vegetables, root crops, or fruit.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a programme that puts equal focus on the environment as well as farmers\u2019 investment in their crop. Taken together, that\u2019s how we deliver a truly sustainable form of agriculture that\u2019s fit for the challenges of the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout this year, we\u2019ll regularly look more closely at how our different technologies perform in the field, with stories drawn from our team\u2019s work around the world.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, if you\u2019d like to find out more about how Crop Management Programs could work on your farm or with your customers, do get in touch with one of our FertiGlobal Area Managers.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll help you farm differently.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FertiGlobal concept It&#8217;s crop protection.
