Higher yields of French fries potatoes with DCM VIVISOL®-AGRI

DCM VIVISOL®-AGRI allows to obtain more uniform plants and higher yields of better quality, with minimal investment. Its added value has already been proven for numerous arable crops. Field trials on potatoes and onions show that applying 30 kg/ha DCM VIVISOL®-AGRI with a microgranule spreader leads to yield increases of up to 25%.

DCM VIVISOL®-AGRI is an organic soil improver for arable crops. It creates an active and diverse soil life, allowing soil processes to run optimally, which ensures optimal health of roots and plants.

The soil life, stimulated by DCM VIVISOL®-AGRI, converts organic matter into plant nutrients. During this process, humic and fulvic acids are produced, which stimulate the roots and promote nutrient uptake. The added bacteria (Bacillus sp.) colonize the rhizosphere and release phosphorus from the soil, making it available for the plant roots.

DCM VIVISOL®-AGRI is also suitable for use in organic agriculture.

A satisfied customer

Akkerbouwer Kees Vrolijk: ‘The foliage of the plants on the two plots that received DCM VIVISOL®-AGRI was healthier and more vigorous, even during the growing season. The final result was a significant yield increase.’ Kees Vrolijk will continue to apply DCM VIVISOL®-AGRI: ‘It is easy to apply with a microgranule spreader and significantly increases yield’.’
