HAVANA , Cuba, April 23 (acn) The joint application of bioactive products and micro organisms in the fertilization and production processes allows Cuba to produce tomatoes 100 percent organic.
Doctor in Sciences Elein Terry, from the Phytotecnic Department at the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences (INCA), has combined concentrated doses of a micro organism, Azospirilum brasilense, with HMA Glomus (a fungus) and Biogras 16, a crop stimulant, to help reduce
fertilization using nitrogen.
The combination insures the growth of healthier and better plants ready for transplantation between 20 to 24 days after germination. It also helps increase the production by acting beneficially on the plants nutrition.
This combination guarantees an eco-friendly produce, while saving hard currency for the country, which usually needs to import nitrogen from foreign markets.
Terry explained this product was the result of joint research with Salta University, in Argentina, and added that it is already been used for different crops with great results in Brazil, Mexico and Colombia, among other nations. Some countries has leased the technology and set up
plants to produce it under the advice given by INCA.
