  • Generate a quality yield (+21% ref/agronomic study) and faster growth
  • Promotes quality flowering
  • Well balanced crop between vegetation and fruit-set.
  • Better shape fruit.
  • Yields uniform sizes. (better pack-out)
  • Reduces early drop or losses.
  • Accelerates maturity
  • Improves the efficacy of the fungicides. (anthracnose, powdery mildew…)
  • Improves the overall crop health.
  • Best anti stress on the market. (negative stress)

VEGRO® is not a fertilizer or fungicide, it is a natural bio stimulant which works in combination with your fungicides and fertilizers.

VEGRO® Tomatoes Program

VEGRO® helps to restore and/or to improve cell's differentiation, cell's division and cell's enlargement or, in other words, to safely grow more and better. These applications increase and secure the pre-fertilization, fertilization and post-fertilization natural processes. It is at the fertilization that all natural genetic codes are set, it is the moment that everything is getting decided, then cell's elongation or enlargement it is the process to fill the cells. The quality of the flowering, the fruit-set, this is where you will get more fruits, more sizes, better shaped fruit. VEGRO® is also very performant at cell's enlargement and promotes so nice uniform sizes and earlier maturity. VEGRO® also produces another significant effect by promoting and improving the crop’s photosynthesis activity. The result: firmer fruit and less early fruit drop with an early maturity (nutrient uptake). It also improves the efficacy of your fungicides (proven efficacy, please refer to agronomic data).
