Stoller Technology in the cultivation of onions and potatoes

Stoller Europe produces and distributes plant nutrients based on an extensive and in-depth knowledge of plant physiology. Due to an increasing demand for integrated cultivation measures, the demand for solutions based on other techniques and insights is increasing.

Stoller focuses on internal processes of the plant that can be controlled by using the Stoller Technology† The aim is to achieve the highest possible yield from the maximum genetic potential of the plant during the growing season. Less favorable growing conditions and an imbalance in hormones can reduce the yield achieved during the season.

Based on the hormone balance of a plant, it is known that during the subsequent growth phases of a plant, hormones and (trace) elements play an important role. Hormones largely determine which growth process a plant spends its produced energy on. By directing and monitoring this hormone balance during the different growth phases of the plant, we support the plant towards the highest possible yield.

In the cultivation of onions and potatoes, Stoller has developed the VIGOR SEED developed. A liquid product (miscible with most common fungicides and fertilizers) that can be easily applied during seeding and planting to achieve accelerated initial growth, increased stolons, improved root system and even emergence.

Fast, even and even emergence is important in onion cultivation. The chemical weed control options, especially in the young stage of the crop, are limited due to the disappearance of a number of crucial herbicides. An even position ensures less loss due to the use of herbicides, so that spraying can now be done at the most optimal moment. By spraying STIMULANT PLUS from 10 centimeters onion length, we give any remaining ones a chance to catch up quickly, which will ultimately result in a more even crop position.

In potato cultivation it is important that sufficient stolons are formed that also develop into a marketable size. To achieve this, crop spraying can be carried out shortly after emergence with CITOCALCIUM which reduces the risk of abortion (i.e. more numbers) and ensures a good internal quality of the newly formed potatoes.
