In times of climate change, farmers around the world are facing ever greater challenges: Heat stress, UV damage and maintaining soil fertility are increasingly becoming critical factors for successful harvests. To meet these challenges, Lithos Crop Protect has two ground-breaking products in its range - Vitisol® and Biocult® ML45. These solutions offer innovative, sustainable approaches to increasing plant health and yield and are ideal for use in organic and conventional farming.
Vitisol®: Natural protection against heat stress and sunburn
Heat stress and sunburn are among the greatest threats to plant health and crop quality. Vitisol® (formerly Lithoplant) has been specially developed to counteract these dangers. This product is of 100% natural origin and is based on clinoptilolite zeolite, a mineral substance characterised by its excellent protective properties
Advantages of Vitisol®:
Reduces heat stress and protects against sunburn:
Vitisol® forms a physical protective layer on the leaves and fruit that lowers the surface temperature and reflects harmful UV light. At the same time, the light that is important for photosynthesis remains available.
Optimised water management
Thanks to its buffering effect, Vitisol® binds water to the surface of leaves and fruit and slowly releases it again, making a significant contribution to plant health
Yield increase and fruit quality:
Supports the plants in fruit development, enables optimum CO2 uptake and increases the yield. Thanks to its excellent buffering effect, it binds water to the surface of the fruit and leaves and releases it slowly.
Suitable for organic farming:
Vitisol® is environmentally friendly and is suitable for use in organic and biodynamic cultivation methods.
Areas of application:
Vitisol® can be used in viticulture and fruit growing as well as in vegetable and arable farming to protect plants from heat stress and sunburn weather conditions. It offers an effective, sustainable solution to ensure the yield and quality of the harvest.
Biocult® ML45: The power of mycorrhiza for maximum yields and top quality.
With Biocult® ML45, we are launching a highly effective product that utilises the natural power of mycorrhizal fungi. These symbiotic fungi expand the root system of plants, increase nutrient uptake and improve soil structure.
Advantages of Biocult® ML45:
Extension of the root system:
Mycorrhizal fungi enlarge the root system, enabling the plants to absorb nutrients that are difficult to access, such as phosphorus, magnesium and calcium, more efficiently.
Reduced fertiliser requirement:
The increased availability of nutrients reduces the use of chemical fertilisers, which not only lowers costs but also benefits the environment.
Resistance to stress factors:
Biocult® ML45 increases the tolerance of plants to abiotic stress factors such as drought and nutrient deficiency and stabilises the soil structure through the formation of soil aggregates.
Long-lasting effect
Thanks to the robust, in-vivo cultivated mycorrhiza spores, Biocult® ML45 works three times longer than conventional mycorrhiza products.
Areas of application:
Whether planting vines, fruit trees, cereals or potatoes - Biocult® ML45 increases the vitality and yield potential of the plants. It is particularly effective for new plantings in the first year of vegetation and promotes rapid, healthy growth
Sustainable solutions for the agriculture of tomorrow
Both Vitisol® and Biocult® ML45 epitomise our commitment to sustainable agriculture. They offer natural, effective solutions to protect plants from extreme weather conditions while improving soil fertility and yield quality. Both products are approved for organic farming and offer farmers the opportunity to increase yields while protecting the environment.
