Stress-busting benefits of Albatross biostimulant confirmed in replicated field trials 2021
Potato productivity is greatly reduced with temperatures above the optimum of 20oC. The earlier in the season heat stress occurs, the more negative the impact on growth and yield. Previous research commissioned by Interagro has shown the positive effects of biostimulants on potato crops which experience heat /drought stress during the growing season. Replicated field trials conducted by Greencrop Information in 2021, showed that new seaweed biostimulant Albatross, is just as effective in helping to minimise the effect of temperature stress on the potato crop, with significant yield increases achieved as a result.
