On this page, you can find specific information for growers of fruit vegetables about our innovative solution Croptimum.
What is Croptimum?
Croptimum is the new standard in stimulating plant health. Croptimum’s revolutionary mode of action delivers a unique combination of results in growing vegetables and fruit. CHV’s technology is based on carefully selected and purified plant substances. Our natural products are purified to maximize product hygiene and use through irrigation. We understand plant science. With the use of specific plant derived molecules we stimulate plant and root activation.
Plant activation
Croptimum triggers a response with glutathione which is involved in many plant processes. Through regular application oxidative and abiotic stress is reduced, and plant’s performance increased. This results in higher chlorophyll levels and more efficient photosynthesis. Improved stomatal enables plants to grow better and increases capacity for flower and fruit formation.
Root activation
Croptimum improves root health which improves the uptake of nutrients and supports better crop growth. Improved nutrient levels are measured after regular application. Nutrients such as Iron, Calcium, Boron, Sulphur, and Chlorine help any plant with improved chlorophyl production and formation of fruits. The optimized health of plants leads to fruits and produce of excellent quality.
Enhancement Crop Programs
During application of Croptimum it is observed that the uptake of other inputs improves. With good management of Croptimum and other inputs an increase of the rentability and efficiency of crop inputs can be achieved.
Application made easy
Croptimum is easy to apply and designed to provide growers ‘peace of mind’. Croptimum is designed to apply efficiently through drench and drip irrigation systems.
Benefits & Results
The use of Croptimum provides tangible results and benefits:
- Increased plant and root activity increasing capacity for photosynthesis, fruit formation and improved nutrient uptake.
- Sustainable increased in yields.
- Increase of quality and grades resulting in lower % non-marketable products.
Observations & Results
Through independent research institutes unquestionable results were observed at various production locations in the North (such as the Netherlands) and South of Europe (such as Spain) across a wide variety of crops, such as tomato, pepper, zucchini, cucumber and melons.
Observations (see above) in general were healthier and more resilient crop:
- Better growth
- More flower production and higher number of fruits formated
Observations (see above):
- Better growth
- Better flower formation
- Better and faster fruit development
Higher yields were observed in all crops. The increase in yields was achieved by increase in fruit weight, but especially by a significant increase in number of fruits harvested. Also melons treated with Croptimum showed a very strong increase in yield and quality. Adding to the benefits of using Croptimum was a much lower percentage unmarketable fruits as the quality and grade of fruits harvest from the various crops treated with Croptimum was better.
In addition to increased yields, the following positive effects were noted:
- Lower total salt (up to 7%)
- Higher levels of calcium (up to 20%)
- Increase of Brix (up to 8%)
- Increase of skin hardiness (up to 11%)
- Increased chlorophyll levels (up to 5%)
- Increased stomatal conduction (up to 6%
