Our Corn cultivation results are in from an accredited field trial agency [8/63 - 2024 results] showing a + $200 increase in yield per hectare ✅ 🔬 Trial Details: Cereal crops are vital to global agriculture, but they rely heavily on fertilisation. That’s why we teamed up with an independent research group for three trials in Ukraine, the "breadbasket of the world." 🥇 Higher yields: StimBlue+ yielded between 4-8% increase in ton/ha with control and between 2-5% increase in ton/ha compared to the competitor. This means that StimBlue+ generated an additional 0.5-1 ton/ha, leading to an extra + $200/ha at the current corn evaluation. 🥇 Fertiliser reduction: The outcomes were assessed using both quantitative and qualitative parameters relevant to corn production. By analysing the results, we can support a claim of achieving a 30% reduction in fertiliser use without compromising yield. 🥇 Plant height: we see a difference of ± 2 and 3 cm at early-stage development between the plots treated with fertiliser only, and the plots with fertiliser & StimBlue+ in favour of the latter. 👉 This showcase how important StimBlue+ is for corn, especially at the beginning of the growing season, leading to higher yield at harvest.

This January-February, our UK Lead Casper Velthuijs, will be traveling across the UK to meet with forward-thinking farm and estate managers committed to sustainable productivity 🚜 If you’re curious about trialing StimBlue+—our cultivated seaweed biostimulant—this is the perfect time to explore its benefits. Here’s how StimBlue+ can support your farm: ✅ Reduce fertilizer use by up to 30% on crops like wheat and barley, without yield compromise. ✅ Boost high-value crops like strawberries, with results showing up to a 10% increase in Brix levels in polytunnels. ✅ Seamlessly integrate with precision farming technologies. ✅ Align with Environmental Land Management (ELM) schemes for sustainability compliance. Reach out to Casper directly at [email protected] 📩 if you are interested in a visit to understand how and how much StimBlue+ can maximise your profits, and minimise your farming inputs.

On Monday, we got together with Biome Makers Inc. to host a webinar on plant biostimulants like StimBlue+, and their role in harnessing soil functionality 🌱 Kelpie Elia Bortoletti, Agronomist Lead and third-generation wine farmer in Italy, got together with Juan Rébori, Agricultural Engineer at Biome Makers Inc. to discuss the incredible results on our grape trials. Here's what we found: 🍇 Nitrogen availability: StimBlue+ enhances nitrogen availability by +200% by triggering plants to release signaling molecules that attract nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The fixed nitrogen is then efficiently converted into amino acids, fueling plant growth and development. 👉 With more natural nitrogen at work, farmers can reduce their reliance on chemical fertilizers, saving costs while promoting healthier crops. 🍇 Calcium mobility: StimBlue+ promotes calcium mobility by 3.5%, by activating microbes that help plants absorb this essential nutrient. Calcium strengthens cell walls and supports crucial signaling processes for nutrient uptake and stress response, boosting overall plant health and productivity. 👉 By enhancing calcium availability, StimBlue+ ensures stronger, more resilient crops, ready to thrive in challenging conditions. In Juan's own words: "With StimBlue+, we saw a unique boost in nutrient availability. Even through foliar application, BeCrop analysis confirmed these effects across fields, highlighting the reach and effectiveness of this biostimulant" Juan Rebori, BiomeMakers. It was great seeing so many people gathering to learn more about our grape trials in California (USA) with Bernardus Winery and in France with Domaine Villebois. Thank you all for joining.

Our Almond cultivation results are in from an accredited field trial agency [7/63 - 2024 results] showing a decrease in water usage and increase in yield ✅ 🔬 Trial Details: From March to November 2024, we tested StimBlue+ on almonds under standard and drought-stress conditions in Turkey. The results highlight a potential breakthrough for farmers navigating increasing water scarcity. 📣 Why this matters for Farmers: With climate change intensifying water shortages, efficient resource use has become essential. StimBlue+ showed remarkable potential to support farmers by significantly reducing water needs while maintaining yield. 🥇 Water Savings: Almond plots treated with StimBlue+ required 30% less water than control plots, yet showed only a yield difference of 10%. This translates to a water saving of 28,000 liters per hectare (!). 👉The question that arises is, does it make sense for farmers to pay for 28K liters of water for only a +10% yield increase? 🥇 Higher Yields: StimBlue+ improved the number and weight of almonds per tree, leading to a 15–17% increase in yield compared to control plots under normal conditions. In drought-stressed plots, yield gains were still notable at 8–15%. 🥇 Economic Impact: Farmers using StimBlue+ saw additional revenue of $1,500–$1,600 per hectare, showcasing its value as both a productivity and profitability enhancer. 🥇 Seed Vigor: Seeds treated with StimBlue+ demonstrated improved vigor compared to both control and competitor products. Stronger seed vigor translates to better germination, resilience, and overall crop performance—essential for long-term productivity. 👉 Reach out to us via the website if you haven't tested StimBlue+ on your almonds yet: https://lnkd.in/ebJ89_wZ 📩 📖 Want to dive deeper into the data?
