Description
Key effects:
Natural Microbial Barrier
Bacillus bacteria colonise the leaf surface, forming a biofilm that acts as a physical and biochemical barrier against fungal pathogens and helps reduce disease pressure.
Induction of Systemic Resistance (ISR)
Activation of plant defence genes and natural resistance mechanisms increases tolerance to infections and abiotic stress without placing an additional burden on plant metabolism.
Biostimulation and Regeneration
Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed extract provides phytohormones, amino acids, and polysaccharides that support metabolism, photosynthesis, and tissue recovery after stress.
Reduced Crop Protection Costs
Preventive application of the product (2–8 treatments at 2–3 l/ha every 10 days) helps reduce the need for synthetic fungicide applications and supports the market value of the crop.
Compatibility with Integrated Farming and Eco-Schemes
The natural formulation supports the principles of integrated farming and strategies aimed at reducing chemical inputs in crop protection programmes.

The role of the microbiological plate in cultures
The formula, enriched with Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed extract, supports metabolism, photosynthetic activity and the plants’ natural regenerative processes. As a result, Strong helps maintain the vitality, balanced growth and physiological stability of plantations under the demanding conditions of the growing season.
Disruptions to the biological balance of plants
Regular application of VitaFer® Strong supports beneficial phyllosphere microflora, helps maintain plants’ metabolic activity and strengthens their natural physiological resistance to adverse environmental conditions. The product complies with the principles of integrated farming and is eligible for eco-scheme programmes.
Dosage and timing of application:
| Crop | Dosage (l/ha) | Number and Timing of Applications |
|---|---|---|
| All crops | 2-3 | 2–8 times during the growing season, depending on reports of fungal diseases and the level of infection pressure. The product may be used in combination with insecticides and fungicides following a compatibility test. Preventative use is recommended. Recommended application following the use of copper oxychloride and H₂O₂: as a preventative measure against secondary fungal infections. |
