We have lost the relationship with plants as living creatures. Modern agriculture often views plants as machines that produce food. This point of view has had devastating effects – our crops are weak, lacking nutrition and quality, and our soils are dead. Plants are amazing biological systems as complex as human beings. And like us, […]
Time flies as our project ‘Green Production’ is almost looking at the end of the third and last semester of its primary year. CitaVerde College works together with Aptus Plant Tech to grow vegetables in the classrooms. We use very simple methods, but also innovative indoor growing systems and hydroponic systems. Take a look at […]
Each season offers a wide range of produce made available by nature. Nowadays a lot of produce in supermarkets is available all year round, which makes it easy to lose track of seasonality. Kids often don’t know better than eating strawberries year round. When we become more aware of the growing cycles of fruit and […]
To enhance growth and protect crops against pests and diseases, the use of chemical NPK fertilizers and pesticides has become commonplace in modern agriculture. This has resulted in the disappearance of soil micro-organisms, the exhaustion of carbon from the soil, the disappearance of essential micro-elements (silicon, selenium), soil acidification and it has created weak plants […]
Regulator increases the availability, mobility, and uptake of nutrients. It also benefits plants by depositing silicon in cell walls, increasing stress resistance, stimulating immune response and creating more dry weight. The mono silicic acid in Regulator is the only form of silicon that is bioavailable and works effective, independently of the other Aptus boosters. […]
