Fruit growing

In Europe, orchards and plantations cover a considerable area of over 1.6 million hectares and are crucial for the production of a variety of fruit, from pome fruit such as apples and pears to citrus and stone fruit. These growing areas produce millions of tons of fruit every year, which not only plays an essential role in food security, but also contributes to biodiversity and the aesthetics of the landscape. Climate change also poses a threat to native orchards and meadow orchards.

In view of the ongoing climate change, which is characterized by water shortages and rising temperatures, fruit growers are facing growing challenges. Increasing pressure on water resources and changing growing conditions require innovative solutions to ensure the vitality and productivity of orchards.

 

Polygrain is one such innovation. This highly developed water-storing granulate, which can store up to 200 times its own weight in water, offers crucial support for fruit growers. It consists of several components and combines the functions of a water reservoir and a fertilizer. It can be used to bridge dry periods and support root growth and the long-term health of the plants.

Polysorb offers an ideal solution for existing plantings or cases where no fertilizer is required. It consists exclusively of a superabsorbent that can store up to 400 times its own weight in water. Polysorb is cost-effective and focuses on water retention and supports plant growth, especially during prolonged dry periods.

The use of our water-retaining granules (hydrogels) not only increases the survival rate of young plants in dry periods, but also improves the efficiency of water use, contributing to the long-term sustainability and resilience of the orchards.
