Stimulating soil life around the roots and improves vegetative growth
Packaging:Vidi Fortum is sold as liquid formulation in 1 litre, 5 litre or 20 litre jerry cans (country specific)
A natural biostimulant that contains several seaweed species (including Ascophyllum nodosum and Fucus vesiculosus) and plant extracts, plus Humic and Fulvic acids. Vidi Fortum resembles the composition of the root exudates. Therefore, it will significantly improve crop performance and health due to applications substantially enhancing soil microbial activity and function. Specifically focused on creating and maintaining a positive rhizosphere which directly leads to improved root growth. Further, there is improvment in nutrient uptake and above-ground vegetative growth with higher levels of chlorophyll.
During periods of an increased demand for assimilates or in stressful conditions, the roots may experience an exudate deficiency in all growing media and soil grown crops. This deficit leads to physiological and nutritional disorders, as well as a greater susceptibility to stress and pathogens, irrespective of inputs. Vidi Fortum optimizes the survival and function of the soil microbial biomass around the plant roots by providing essential nutrients to these microbes. The absorption of essential elements increases significantly when the root environment improves, this results in improved plant growth and strength.
As the relationship between the plant and the growing media improves, there is a positive chain effect, leading to cell division, increased populations of disease suppressing substances, the formation of proteins, carbohydrates and chlorophyll.
It is the organic compound with targeted application to support the microbial processes around the roots. This strengthens the roots ability to function, making substances and disease-suppressing components available to the plant.

All components comply with EU regulations 834/2007 and 889/2008 for organic farming. This product is EKO-certified by Control Union Certifications under number CU 803627. This product is not a fertilizer or a pesticide and is exempt from legal registration requirements.
Non-toxic and completely safe to use. No micro-organisms are added to the extract, nor are any animal by-products or artificial hormones employed. No synthetic or harmful chemicals have been used in the extraction process. The extraction is water based without using alcohol or other chemical solvents. That is why this product is rich in all natural substances that can be found in seaweeds, including natural plant hormones, betains, alginates, amino acids, carbohydrates and vitamins. Such elements are not found in normal fertilizers, while they are essential for a good crop growth.
