Mr Paul Ollobarren, from the Agronomic Department of Congelados de Navarra was interviewed last week by the Spanish tv programme ‘Agrosfera’ on the occasion of the FIMA animal trade fair in Zaragoza, Spain, where he showed the incredible results of one of the recent trials on potato cultivation in the region of Navarre (north of Spain).
“We are carrying out several fertilization trials at the moment. In this one in particular, we used several products based on algae refined extracts. These products allowed us to complement or even replace the common fertilization practises for these potato crops in the region. The results were unbelievable: production increased to 9000 kg per hectare!”.
