We are a young, innovative company that translates knowledge, experience and inventive ideas into practical solutions for the agriculture and horticulture sectors. We have developed several plant-enhancing fertilizers that have been tested on various crops and production systems and brought to market.
Whenever infected by a virus, bacteria and/or biotrophic fungi, plants start producing salicylic acid. This is a plant hormone, not an antibody, and triggers initiation of the production of defence proteins. Proteins, for example, that can stop bacterial growth. For this to be possible, the concentration of salicylic acid in the plant must reach a certain level. At this level, the ‘switch’ is turned on in the plant. By adding salicylic acid to the plant from the outside, either by spraying the leaves or administering through the roots (in inert substrates only), the concentration of salicylic acid increases throughout the plant. Salicylic acid is 100% systemic. Should the plant be infected after this treatment it only has to produce a very small additional amount of salicylic acid to start up its own immune response. The plant therefore has a much quicker and more effective response to infections.
PlantoSys develops products to strengthen the plant’s own defence system in various crops and production systems, inside and out. We do this using salicylic acid, sometimes combined with
colloidal silver, micro copper or micro manganese and micro zinc. This stimulates the plant’s natural immune system so that it can respond more quickly and more effectively to a bacterial and/or fungal infection. And all without the use of chemicals!
We have developed, tested and marketed various products that we have adapted wherever possible to specific crops, production systems and application methods. We now have experience, for example, in greenhouse vegetables, cut flowers, bulb cultivation, tree cultivation, herb cultivation, soft fruit and seed potatoes.
Our products are available for order directly or through our dealers.
