Using VigorSeed in the furrows when planting potato seeds will give your crop a head start, maximizing the chances of obtaining higher yields and optimal quality.”

VigorSeed: results of trials on potatoes

“VigorSeed is a fertilizer specially formulated for the treatment of seeds. Thanks to its specific zinc and manganese content easily assimilated by the plant, the use of VigorSeed when sowing helps guarantee an excellent start for potato crops during the critical germination phase."

"Trials carried out over the past 4 years in the Netherlands have shown that VigorSeed is an excellent tool a) to increase yields with just a single treatment; b) to ensure a fast and uniform development of germination.”

“The results of treatments on different varieties such as Agria, Fontane, Innovator, Jelly and Markies have confirmed that treatment with VigorSeed has improved yields for all potato varieties with significant differences, from 12.9% to 29.5% compared to the control plot.”
