Better plants with the Nano Fertilizers

Nano Fertilizers are an innovative way to strengthen plants, making them less susceptible to diseases and pests, improving their structure and producing increased yields per square metre. Additionally, the Nano Fertilizers are sustainable in use.

AgroArgentum® is an NK-9-6 EC fertilizer which contains 1% silver nanoparticles that keep the plant with an active metabolism. AgroCyprum® is a copper EC fertilizer solution that contains 3% copper nanoparticles. AgroFerrum® is an iron fertilizer solution that contains 15% iron nanoparticles. All these products have an optimized concentration of their ingredients and because of the reduced size of their components, are more bioavailable for the plants.​

 AgroCalcium® is a calcium EC fertilizer solution with the optimized concentration of all its ingredients. ​It contains 20% calcium, 1,5% magnesium and 1,5% silicon, made from micro fine ground rock flour and also thanks to the reduced size of its component, is more bioavailable for the plants.

For each cultivation there is a specific protocol how to use and combine the Nano Fertilizers in the best rates. The elements strengthen each other and with the correct dosage per element, the results will be optimal for your crop. Your plants and yield will benefit significant.

Multiple tests at growers worldwide have shown very positive results. Stronger crops which become more resistant and higher yields.

Mix your fertilizers with the NutriMixer pump

Hortus developed the innovative NutriMixer. This pump is able to mix the fertilizers in fertilizer stock tanks easily and cost-effectively. OneAirmix pump mixes 2 containers of 2200 liters each with air. Fertilizers are drawn evenly from the tanks and distributed evenly through irrigation systems, without sediment. The Airmix is easy to install and requires little maintenance, making it ideal for a wide range of growers and situations.
