    PRODUCING MORE. CONSUMING LESS.A NEW CONCEPT OF THE FUTURE.Eight billion. This, according to the latest estimates, will be the human population of our planet in 2025. Eight billion mouths to feed, compared with about seven billion today. Increasing cultivated land are, however, will not be able to keep up. There is not enough arable land. And a lot of it will be used to meet growing energy needs.

    The resources of our planet are not inexhaustible. Reserves of phosphorus, the most widely used fertiliser, will run out within 90 years. Even lithium, the mineral that powers the batteries of our computers and our phones will run out. And sooner or later, we will extract the last barrel of oil. We must be ready for this. Not to prepare for the worst, but to work towards, and make possible, a different future.

    According to eminent scholars of the last century, the Earth would not have had sufficient resources to feed its inhabitants by today. But they discounted scientific innovations, which have provided us with much more productive farmland.

    At Valagro, we believe in the power of nature, a power to be exploited through a scientific breakthrough that will not compromise it. Because our environment is the only one we have, and even small changes can have very serious consequences on a large scale. With this in mind, we have chosen sustainable innovation. This uses the most modern technologies to extract valuable active ingredients from nature, and returns them again to nature to produce healthier, richer, better harvests.

    We have the tools, the raw materials, the experience and the expertise to do so. We also want to have the conscientiousness to do so in alliance with the environment, with people and with cultures. We want to meet people's needs, including their desire for a greater level of food safety and wellbeing.We believe it is possible to do so thanks to a new Con-science.

    05

    At Valagro, world leaders in the production and marketing of speciality fertilisers, we put Science in the service of Nature, because we offer sustainable nutrient products. We believe it is possible to meet the needs of humanity by using fewer resources. To this end, we create innovative solutions, providing our customers with ever more effective and sustainable products, through the use of a new Con-science and ethically correct choices.

    VISION

    To meet the needs of humanity using fewer resources, thanks to a new Con-science that places science in the service of humanity through innovation, while respecting Nature.

    VALUES

    - Integrity and honesty.- Passion for our customers, our products and our work.- Responsibility towards ourselves, to others and the environment.- Cohesion and multiculturalism.- Confidence in innovation.

    MISSION

    We have always had a passion for creating innovative and effective solutions for plant nutrition and care, while respecting people and the environment.

  • SCIENCE IS IMPROVED BY NATURE.GEAPOWER INNOVATION

    At Valagro, we believe in the power of Nature: Geapower.The innovative system of technologies behind our products: for human and animal wellbeing; achieving the best quality and quantity from agricultural crops, while optimising land, water and equipment use.

    Geapower certifies a path of excellence, which is divided into four key stages:

    1. KNOWLEDGE AND ACCESS TO RAW MATERIALSWe know which raw materials to select, and exactly where to find them, while fully respecting natural cycles. From Quillaja saponaria plantations in Yucca and Norwegian seaweed, to Agave plantations: raw materials form the key ingredients for our products.

    2. SELECTED EXTRACTION METHODSFor each raw material, and for each active inside, our researchers select and refine the most effective extraction process based on the desired solution. This is made possible by our scientific expertise and advanced equipment, capable of enhancing extracted substances without altering them.

    3. IMPLEMENTATION OF RESEARCH STRATEGIESOur workshops go through the process of identification and physico-chemical classification of the substances present in the extracts we obtain from raw materials. We accurately identify the nature and quantity of a number of substances present in the vegetable extract, making use of different tools and analyses.

    4. TARGETED SOLUTIONSA thorough knowledge of the different needs of each application area allows us to go a step further: combining active components, to exploit the synergistic effect greatly improving the results. These are not solutions that are natural, but barely effective, but highly effective solutions that are in harmony with nature.

    THOSE WHO TEND THE LAND LOVE THE WEB.VALAGRO ONLINEWe believe in digital media and its ability to change society, so we want to offer our customers valuable tools, knowledge and information through this global network. We have therefore invested, and will continue to invest, in the web, cementing and expanding our dialogue with customers and consumers. We consider this essential in planning new products and strategies.

  • ACTIWAVE

    PROMOTES ABSORPTION OF NUTRIENTS.

    INCREASES THE USE OF THE NUTRIENTS IN THE SOIL. OPTIMISES MINERAL APPLICATION.ACTIWAVE contains betaine, alginic acid, and caidrine, a derivative of vitamin K1 that guarantees correct and balanced nutrition, increasing the plant's ability to absorb the nutritive elements present in the soil. The caidrine stimulates the activity of the proton gates of the root cells, accelerating the movement and the exchange between the positive ions from the inside of the root towards the rhizosphere, and of cations and anions from the rhizosphere to the inside of the roots.The action of the caidrine, and other biologically active components, bring immediate and tangible benefits: Increased productivity both in terms of quality and quantity; reduction of nitrates in leafy vegetables, and increased capacity of the plant in overcoming abiotic stress. By improving the plant's ability to absorb nutrients, ACTIWAVE reduces losses due to leaching, with positive effects also from an environmental perspective.To provide the farmer with all the advantages of ACTIWAVE, even in the absence of fertigation systems, we developed ACTIWAVE G, a granular formulation, which provides the same benefits even in large / industrial crops.

    FEATURESINGREDIENTS

    CAIDRINE BETAINE ALGINIC ACID MONOMERS / OLIGOMERS

    Increases the absorption of available nutrients

    promotes resistance to ABIOTIC stress

    Increases productivity

    DETAILS

    CAIDRINEELECTRONS ON THE MOVECaidrine, an essential element of the ACTIWAVE formulation, is a derivative of vitamin K1 and plays a key role in electron transport and redox reactions.

    Thanks to its molecule a double carbonaceous ring it enhances the movement of electrons between the inside and the outside of the cells of the roots of the plant, increasing its ability to absorb nutrients.

    The specific conformation of the caidrine molecule increases the movement of electrons, thereby activating the cell's proton gates* in order to ensure the proper balance within the cells.

    This increases the exchange and the transition between the flux of protons H+ towards the outside of the cells, and the flow of positive charges (cations, K+, Mg2+, Fe2) and negative charges (anions, NO3-, SO4 2-, PO4 3-) towards the interior of the cells.Elements with a negative charge falls into the cell along with the protons that are reabsorbed by the cells, using the co-transport (eg. H+/NO3-).

    The long carbon atom chains of the caidrine molecule is also used in the process of organication, i.e. the inclusion of nutrients in complex organic molecules

    The caidrine therefore performs three actions:

    1. Increases proton gate activity increasing the cell's ability to absorb nutrients.

    2. Helps transform the nutrients, preparing them for absorption by the cells.

    3. Enhances the insertion of nutrients in complex molecules (polysaccharides, proteins, etc..)

    * The proton gates are the structures that regulate the exchange of positive charges towards the outside of the cell, allowing nutrients to penetrate inside.

  • BENEFIT PZ+MC CREAM THE SYNERGY THAT MAKES 1+1=3!Synergy is defined as the cooperation between two or more elements in order to achieve a common result, in our case, greater fruit size.This is what happens when we apply BENEFIT PZ and MC CREAM together: the first exerts its action on cell division, the second on cell expansion.In fact, the active ingredients in the formulations of the two VALAGRO products are complementary and synergistic. BENEFIT PZ contains nucleotides, amino acids and vitamins. Nucleotides stimulate the cytokinesis of the fruit (cell division), inducing an increase in the number of cells produced over time.The higher protein needs of the plant, due to the increased cell division, is supported by the amino acids and vitamins provided by BENEFIT PZ.

    MC CREAM, on the other hand, adds the betaine, natural growth factors, and amino acids.These active phyto-ingredients facilitate the overcoming of stress, stimulate metabolic and photosynthetic activity in the plants, and encourage cell expansion.

    INCREASES FRUIT SIZE.

    BENEFIT PZ is a natural product designed to enhance and standardise the size of the fruits. BENEFIT PZ, when applied after fruiting, stimulates cell division and the consequent increase in the number of cells present in each fruit.Following the absorption of water and the normal metabolic activity of plants, a greater number of cells can then relax and stretch so as to have greater size, bringing the fruit into more profitable, higher caliber classes.BENEFIT PZ is recommended for both fruit crops (drupaceous, kiwi) and for horticultural crops with fruits (watermelon, melon, squash, cucumber, etc.). BENEFIT PZ contains nucleic acids, vitamins, proteins and free amino acids.

    INCREASES FRUIT SIZE AND IMPROVES UNIFORMITY, INCREASING FRUIT CLASS. DOES NOT ALTER THE CONSISTENCY OR LONGEVITY OF THE FRUITS.

    INCREASES FRUIT SIZE.

    BENEFIT PZ is a natural product designed to enhance and standardise the size of the fruits. BENEFIT PZ, when applied after fruiting, stimulates cell division and the consequent increase in the number of cells present in each fruit.Following the absorption of water and the normal metabolic activity of plants, a greater number of cells can then relax and stretch so as to have greater size, bringing the fruit into more profitable, higher caliber classes.BENEFIT PZ is recommended for both fruit crops (drupaceous, kiwi) and for horticultural crops with fruits (watermelon, melon, squash, cucumber, etc.). BENEFIT PZ contains nucleic acids, vitamins, proteins and free amino acids.

    INCREASES FRUIT SIZE AND IMPROVES UNIFORMITY, INCREASING FRUIT CLASS. DOES NOT ALTER THE CONSISTENCY OR LONGEVITY OF THE FRUITS.

  • ERGER

    DORMANCY AND ERGER PLANT DORMANCYPlants with multi-year cycles alternate between periods of growth, when the environmental conditions are favourable, and periods of stagnation or low metabolic activity when weather conditions become unfavorable. The slowdown or interruption of physiological activities in the plant is called dormancy. Dormancy affects any plant structure containing a meristem (tissue composed of cells capable of multiplying by division). This is a survival strategy in the plant and is controlled by the concentration of endogenous substances that are hormonal in nature, including abscisic acid and naringenin. The build-up of these substances is induced by environmental factors that influence the activity status of the buds. In particular, these factors are attributable to temperature, photoperiod (length of daylight hours), amount of light, nutrient availability and internal factors specific to the species.To overcome the unfavourable conditions that have induced a state of dormancy in the plant, a series of reactions occur that reactivate the metabolism of the plant itself.The substances that trigger the interruption of dormancy are the gibberellins that stimulate the hydrolytic enzymes (e.g., a-amylase), resulting in mobilisation of reserves and, above all, greater availability of simple sugars for respiration and cytokinins that stimulate the processes of cell division.

    ERGER'S ROLEERGER "wakes up" the plant naturally, exerting a powerful stimulating effect on the physiology of crops. The active ingredients in ERGER act on plant tissues through the activation of biochemical processes that are the basis of the physiological vegetative resumption.ERGER contains specially selected diterpenes, such as hormone precursors, that can actively stimulate the amylase hydrolysis of polysaccharide reserves, actively contributing to the availability of simple sugars for respiration. The latter process is supported by the presence of readily available mono- and polysaccharides, and calcium, an enzymatic cofactor in the plant's energy processes, both of which are contained in the product.Furthermore, it is known that the opening of the buds begins with the activation of the metabolisation of nitrogen, so the plant needs a form of nitrogen readily available at this stage.ERGER provides readily available forms of nitrogen that can stimulate the physiology of the plant bringing forward the budding process and making it more uniform.

    ERGER ensures the plant's needs are met during cold weather for table grapes and cherries, reducing deformities in budding and flowering on each and every plant. ERGER ensures: FOR CHERRIES - early and uniform ripening of the drupes; FOR VINES - early ripening and reduction of "blind" buds, with a consequent increase in production; ERGER must be used with ACTIV ERGER, or with calcium nitrate, to support the plant's increased enzymatic activity. ERGER contains inorganic nitrogen, mono-and polysaccharides, calcium and selected diterpenes.

    A VALUABLE SEAWEED.

    Ascophyllum nodosum is a brown seaweed belonging to the order of Fucaceae, characterised by its long branches with apical vesicles, and growing on rocky substrates often at the dividing line of high and low tide. Ascophyllum nodosum is found in the Arctic basin, proliferating primarily along the North Atlantic coasts of Norway and Canada.

    The extreme environmental conditions in which this special seaweed thrives means it is found completely submerged in the sea for some months of the year, and also spends time on the water for a long period of time exposed the sun and other climatic effects.

    Thanks to these unusually hostile environmental conditions, Ascophyllum nodosum has evolved a singular ability to withstand stress, thanks to the presence of some valuable substances contained in it.

    Among these there are some containing powerful anti-stress properties that, if properly extracted, can be used for the production of special fertilisers able to confer some of the properties of Ascophyllum nodosum to the treated plants.

    During 2002, Valagro integrated vertically through the acquisition of the Norwegian company Algea, the first company in the world to achieve, in 1942, a method of extraction of active ingredients from algae. Thanks to this acquisition Valagro has become a global leader in the harvesting of Ascophyllum nodosum, particularly in the extraction of active ingredients.

    GENOMIC APPROACHEXAMPLE OF APPLICATION TO PRODUCT DEVELOPMENTOur genomic research approach allows Valagro to greatly accelerate the screening process for the substances to be used in the formulation of our nutritional products.At the same time, the genomic approach allows us to use the scientific method to confirm the features assigned by VALAGRO to their nutritional products. This uses a survey technique that allows us to investigate the ability of a substance to enable the functionality of one or more genes, and thus to accelerate one or more metabolic processes. Our genomic approach uses MicroArray technology commonly known as "Gene Chip" introduced in the 90s for studying human genetic diseases, has recently been extended to research in plant physiology. This was made possible after the mapping of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome, published in 2000 in "Science".Through this technology, Valagro can understand the real contribution of each component in the formula of any product in a timely and objective manner.The table below shows the "fingerprint" for MEGAFOL.

    This table shows how the the four functions of MEGAFOL are related to the activation of genes in the plant that are involved in metabolic processes, which are involved in the synthesis of endogenous hormones (stimulating vegetative development and productivity), synthesis of proteins involved in the plant's response to stress (anti-stress), and the synthesis of membrane proteins involved in the transport of elements through the membrane itself (transmission capacity). For example, the AT1G02930.1 gene is over-expressed more than six times in MEGAFOL treated plants compared to untreated controls. So the activation of this gene will prepare the plant to respond far better in cases of severe water or oxidative stresses. The graph shows how, in the set of over-expressed genes due to the application of MEGAFOL, approximately 2/3 genes are activated in the plant's stress response.In this example, the genomic approach provides objective confirmation that MEGAFOL is a product with a strong anti-stress effect.

RADIFARM's biologically active ingredients (vitamins, amino acids and proteins, polysaccharides, betaine, saponins and trace elements) are related to its two main functions:

    1) stimulation of root development; 2) overcomes stress after transplantation.

    For KENDAL, the exclusive GEA 249 complex allows the system to support the plant, enhancing antioxidant functions within the plant cells.

    Valagro's testing has verified the existence of a synergy in the combined use of RADIFARM and KENDAL during the transplant (repotting) phase, exerting a synergistic effect between them that takes the form of:

    A) quicker end to post-transplant stress;B) rapid formation of a healthy and sturdy root system;C) greater uniformity in vegetal development.

    PACKAGING

    RADIFARM + KENDALADVANTAGES OF SYNERGYRADIFARM and KENDAL nutritional products are developed with the application of Geapower technology. RADIFARM's biologically active ingredients (vitamins, amino acids and proteins, polysaccharides, betaine, saponins and trace elements) are related to its two main functions:

    1) stimulation of root development; 2) overcomes stress after transplantation.

    For KENDAL, the exclusive GEA 249 complex allows the system to support the plant, enhancing antioxidant functions within the plant cells.

    Valagro's testing has verified the existence of a synergy in the combined use of RADIFARM and KENDAL during the transplant (repotting) phase, exerting a synergistic effect between them that takes the form of:

    A) quicker end to post-transplant stress;B) rapid formation of a healthy and sturdy root system;C) greater uniformity in vegetal development.
