Agro-100’s Expert Program brings together farmers who put our biostimulants to the test in their own fields. They share their experiences, observations and results across different crops and production conditions.
Discover how local farmers use Agro-100 biostimulants under their own production conditions, what they observe in the field and why they continue to put them to the test.

A field trial evaluates how a crop responds to a product under real production conditions. Observations may include plant vigor and development, tolerance to certain environmental stresses, and yield.
Many factors can influence a crop’s response: weather conditions, soil type, the variety grown, the application stage, fertilization, crop protection treatments and the level of stress experienced by the plants. Trial results should therefore be interpreted in light of the overall agronomic context.
The farmer brings essential knowledge of their fields and farming practices. Their observations help put the results in context and document how the crop responds over the season.
CropBooster, activated by Oligo Prime (OP), is a biostimulant formulated with four technologies. It is used in a variety of crops to support plants throughout their development and help them better cope with abiotic stress.
