PECOS® is a fertilizer obtained trough the blending of organic elements and the subsequent reaction with other nutritive elements; it is innovative because, in a single product, it satisfies the resolution of the main issues of Italian fields: lack of Iron (Fe), alkaline pH, lack of Boron (B) and lack of organic matter.

Features
  • Physical state: homogeneous cylindrical pellet with a medium diameter of 3 - 4 mm and a medium lenght of 5 - 7 mm.
  • The richness of the product PECOS® is completed by the remarkable presence of soluble Magnesium that, in synergy with Sulfur and Iron, helps increase and highlight every quality. Furthermore, it helps improve organoleptic characteristics like taste and conservation.
  • Thanks to its original and innovative formulation, PECOS® shows an intense fertilizer activity. The presence of Humified Organic Matter, Sulfur and Iron sulfate improves the fertility (allocation of nutrients) towards phenomena like “fatigue of the soil”, continuous cropping or soils that are too much treated. In addition to that, it enhances the biological state of the area of development of radical apparatuses and allows the rigeneration of active bacterial flora. It is recommended for the application after seeding or transplant. Particularly positive effects have been seen on horticultural crops such as watermelon, melon (cucurbits), tomato and potato (solanaceae).

Applications & Uses

PECOS® / As a Nutrient
  • PECOS® is recommended for specialized viticulture: it provides all the elements that facilitate the increase of grape quality (humified organic substance, macroelements and microelements that affect the formation of flavors).
  • PECOS® is applied on open field horticultural crops such as industrial tomato, melon, watermelon, onion, garlic; and it is applied in greenhouses as well on strawberries, table tomato, eggplant and the whole area of Baby Leaf coltures (IV Gamma).
  • The usage of PECOS® on coltures where fertigation has been applied allows a perfect synergy between roots and pedosphere.
  • PECOS® creates an optimal zone for the partial acidification of the soil, adding humic substances which increase the capacity of cationic exchange (CSC) and the availability of mesoelements in the form of soluble salts. The open field spreading of the product must take place at a minimum depth of 2cm and a maximum depth of 15cm; the usage on arboreal crops must foresee a distance from the trunk of 18/20cm and a depth of 10/15cm.
