Higher yield in organic potatoes with DCM VIVISOL®-AGRI

DCM VIVISOL®-AGRI delivers a more uniform crop with higher yields and improved quality, all with a minimal investment. This added value has already been proven in numerous arable crops. Practical field trials in potatoes and onions show that applying 30 kg/ha with a microgranule spreader can result in yield increases of up to 25%.

DCM VIVISOL®-AGRI is an organic soil improver for arable crops. It stimulates diversity and activity within soil life, enabling soil processes to function optimally and promoting strong root development and overall plant health.

By activating soil life, DCM VIVISOL®-AGRI supports the conversion of organic matter into nutrients that are readily available to plants. During this process, humic and fulvic acids are formed, enhancing root stimulation and nutrient uptake. The added beneficial bacteria (Bacillus sp.) colonise the rhizosphere and release soil-bound phosphorus, making it available for uptake by plant roots.

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