Soil Quality: Key to sustainable agricultural production

Soil is much more than a support system for crops: it is a living ecosystem that determines the health and productivity of plants. However, soil degradation is one of the greatest challenges facing modern agriculture. Preserving and improving soil quality is essential to ensure the sustainability of the agricultural sector and global food security.

At Altinco, we understand that caring for the soil is the first step toward a more sustainable agricultural future. That is why our solutions are designed to nourish, protect, and enhance soils, respecting their biodiversity and ensuring healthier, more productive crops.

What does soil quality mean?

 

Soil quality is defined by its ability to:

  1. Support plant growth: Providing the essential nutrients, water, and physical support that crops need.
  2. Foster biodiversity: Hosting beneficial microorganisms that improve soil structure and decompose organic matter.
  3. Resist and recover from external impacts: Such as compaction, erosion, or contamination.
 

High-quality soil is the foundation of sustainable agricultural production, enabling maximum yields without compromising the health of the ecosystem.

Biostimulants for fruit set: keys to improving crop productivity

Environmental conditions can compromise the success of fruit set, one of the most critical stages in the cycle of fruit and vegetable crops. During this process, the fertilized flower begins its transformation into fruit, defining the yield of the harvest. Factors such as extreme temperatures or water stress can reduce both the quantity and quality of production. Biostimulants are the key to optimizing this process, helping plants overcome these challenges and ensuring a more stable and profitable harvest.

Altinco’s 2024 year-end review

The importance of wood treatments

In winter, during the dormancy period, while fruit trees rest, a crucial stage begins to ensure the health and productivity of deciduous crops in spring. It is the perfect time to act proactively, protect the wood, and prevent infections that could compromise crop development. Protect your crops in winter with sustainable wood treatments.
