Berries are probably one of the crops with the greatest growth in Spain, both in consumption and also in terms of production and exports. The trends in last few years are very positive and, in regions like Huelva (Spain) -one of the Europe’s largest producers-, the producers have left the single-crop farming in order to combine strawberry with other crops, such as blueberry and raspberry. These kinds of crops have a great added value and a quite innovative character.
In this framework, the fourth edition of the International Congress of Berries was held on the 20th and the 21st of June in Huelva. AlgaEnergy participated in this event, showcasing its value proposition for crops such as strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, among others. A proposal that is synthetized in an innovative and effective solution: the range of agricultural biostimulants based on microalgae, AgriAlgae®.
In fact, in its stand at the Congress where AlgaEnergy showcased its own developed technology, the biotechnology-based company also presented the results of the numerous field trials carried out in these crops. The mentioned trials show how berry crops treated with AgriAlgae® improve their performance significantly in terms of quantity and quality, compared also to other biostimulant treatments. This is translated into an increase in the profitability and a considerable return on investment when AgriAlgae® is used to biostimulate the crops.
