The study was made with Arbequina olive tree variety

■ Place: Fyton Nursery. Fuente del Pino, Jumilla, Murcia.

■ Age: 10-month old plants multiplied using the budwood grafting technique

■ Dose: 300 ml/l of Terra-Sorb® complex was sprayed to the leaves

■ Evaluation of the sprouts after three weeks of treatment, including the number and length of the new leaves, as well as nutrients content. Comparison was with control samples.

Results show that application of Terra-Sorb® complex has a double effect. There is a bio stimulating effect caused by the action of amino acids on the plant. In addition, there is a nutritional effect due to the large percentage of micro nutrients in the Terra-Sorb® formula.
