Fulvic acid products a boost for seed potatoes and yield
Dutch potato farmers indicate there are fewer potatoes on the ridges this year. However, land which has been sprayed with Ful-Power shows a higher yield and a better homogeneity (uniformity) in the potatoes. Ful-Power is a product based on fulvic acid, which is extracted from agricultural grade humate (harvested specifically to be high value for crops) and is sprayed along with other treatments.
Multi-year trials in the Dutch provinces of Flevoland and Groningen have shown that the use of Ful-Power leads to a 12 to 21 percent higher yield of seed potatoes.
Ful-Power ensures an improved absorption of nutrients from the soil and release into the plant. In addition to the (financial) advantage of a higher yield, the use of Ful-Power also results in a much larger share of seed potatoes in the desired size 35/55.
Fulvic acid is a natural product that is extracted from humate deposits. Bioag Europe extracts fulvic acid from old humus layers that originate from freshwater sources. Ful-Power ensures healthy crops with higher disease resistance. We deduce from this that potatoes are less susceptible to phytophthora. Ful-Power is a supplement to the existing spraying plan and has a positive influence on the quality of the soil. Unlike fulvine products from other producers, no chemicals or preservatives are added to Ful-Power.

Research results

Research on sand and clay with seed potatoes using Ful-Power has shown higher yields for three years in a row. Test rotations show 9-14% more total yield and 4-19% more yield in size 35-55.
The first test harvesting for consumption and starch potatoes shows 5% more yield and 11% more yield in size 45-60+.
The results shown here come from a study in August 2013, in which the dimensions for the trial harvesting of seed potatoes were investigated.
The numbers represent the number of kilograms of potatoes that were produced per hectare.

Financial advantages

Ful-Power must be sprayed, mixed with other plant protection products, every four weeks in a dosage of 1 liter per hectare. Converted per hectare the investment is € 43 (2x spraying) to € 65 (3x spraying). A minimum investment for a maximum return!
