Batallón in Blueberry variety Duke

Over 250 trials on 120 different crops from over 90 countries.

Batallón

Blueberry variety Duke

Mangualde, Portugal

The plants treated with BATALLÓN show a tendency to increase production especially in the first and second harvest, in addition, a more balanced growth has been verified which culminated with an increase in the precocity of the production.

Another observation is that the plants treated with BATALLÓN showed concentrated and homogenized maturation, this implies a reduction in harvest costs since it is not necessary to pick ripe fruits within the plant, this reduces harvest times and results in higher economic performance.
