Cucumber
An innovative and highly effective plant activator based on purified plant molecules. Through application of Croptimum the plant photosynthesis, capacity for shoot formation and crop resilience improves.
At Crop Health Vision (CHV) we believe that the best stimulants for cucumber production can be found in the natural abundance of active molecules in plants.

Product results
Consistent results at growers, supported by independent research results, are measured in several cucumber crops and varieties;
- Crop characteristics are being reported as healthier, more active and more balanced(vegetative / generative).
- Plants carry up to 12% more fruits.
- An average of 12% more yield is experienced.
- Increased quality parameters.
- The average ROI of using Croptimum in cucumber is experienced 12 times.
Cucumber production cumulative increase (kg/ha)
Through independent research institutes and reputable growers unquestionable results were observed at various production locations. Across a wide variety fruit and vegetable crops, better yields and quality was measured. Grower results with cucumbers proved that the application of Croptimum significantly increases the harvested weight of the final product. An increase of + 12% in harvested weight was observed.
Mode of action
The technology applied to crops by CHV is unique in crop health improvement methods. Our understanding of plant science has resulted in in a specific formula containing plant derived molecules. Croptimum provides two new distinct mode of actions in crop management;
| FEATURE | BENEFIT |
|---|---|
| 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 performance increased. During moments of high plant load or difficult growing conditions Croptimum enables the plant to respirate better and ensures continuous growth and fruit formation. | • Raised chlorophyll levels • Optimized photosynthesis • Increased respiration • Elevated uptake of essential nutrients • Boosted fruit formation • Improved fruit quality of harvested fruits |
| Root activation | |
| Croptimum improves root health and enhances the uptake of nutrients supporting better crop growth. Raised levels of vital nutrients help any plant with improved chlorophyll production, formation of new fruits and resilience against abiotic stress. | • Healthier and sturdier roots • Raised levels of vital nutrients:(Iron, Calcium, Boron, Chlorine) • Improved rhizosphere conditions |
Dosing and use
Recommended dosage for cucumbers:
| Product | Croptimum dosage litre/ha | Interval of appli-cations suggested | Start of the application | Last application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cucumber | 0,6 | 7-10 days | 2-3 weeks after transplant | 2-3 weeks before the last harvest |
Product application
Croptimum is ideally applied directly to the roots through a drip / drench irrigation system. Best results are obtained when Croptimum is applied via a sperate dosing pump, alternatively Croptimum can be mixed in the fertigation mixing tank in the central fertigation unit for the day of use (after tanks A and B are mixed). When no other option is available, diluted Croptimum can be directly added to tank B as long as the complete tank is used within one day.
For optimum effect of Croptimum:
- The recommended dose of Croptimum should be applied in 1 pulse.
- For the best uptake Croptimum should be applied when there is little to no drain.
- Croptimum is to mixed well with water before applying to the irrigation system.
- Croptimum solution is ideally applied in ± 1 litre of water / m2. In heavier soil, such as clay, please apply with your stand-ard irrigation volume (l/m2).
- Do not mix Croptimum directly with amino-, humic- or fulvic acids (a 24 hour interval is advised).
- Do not apply simultaneously with hypochlorite or chlorine.
