Agraz (from the Consesa Group) reduces the CO₂ emissions of the fertilisation of Tomotoes for industrial use with 45 % thanks to ECOMETHOD.

Agraz (Extremadura – Spain) and BMS Micro-Nutrients (Bornem – Belgium) have managed, through a joint project, to reduce reduce the inputs of fertilizers with an average of 10-15% which resulted in the reduction of CO2 emissions linked to the fertilization by 45% compared to the tecnical specification for the Integrated Production of Tomatoes for industrial use.

  the accredited attestation of BMS Micro-Nutrients, allows through the implementation of specific Foliar Fertilisation programmes an important reduction of the amount of fertilizers applied to the soil. This results in a better and more rational and sustainable use of resources. The application of the foliar programme will be maximally combined with other treatments so that no extra applications are necessary.

After conducting an exhaustive preliminary study of the soil and water conditions of 3 different plots, and the needs of the crop and variety, the technical departments of BMS MN and of AGRAZ have designed a foliar programme using the products of the Belgian multinational which will support the plant development at all stages. In addition to being much more sustainable and respectful for the environment, the ECOMETHOD programme maintained the production high, as well in quantity as in quality.

With this, both companies are committed to a much more environmentally friendly production, and the implementation of a CERTIFICATION that provides a differential value to their final product, without giving up the highest production standards and continuing to meet all market requirements.
