Record-Breaking Blueberries in Val di Non: The Story of Azienda Sforzena
A High-Altitude Excellence with Biolchim Biostimulants
Nestled in the stunning mountains of Val di Non, over 1,000 meters above sea level, Azienda Agricola Sforzena has turned high-altitude blueberry farming into an exceptional success.
Through passion, innovation, and cutting-edge agronomic management, Federico Facinelli and Elena Battelli have partnered with Biolchim to nourish their plants and enhance the value of their production.
A Complex Challenge: Balancing Quality and Quantity
Growing blueberries at high altitudes demands precise solutions and techniques, especially in an environment where climate change poses significant challenges.
Federico and Elena cultivate blueberries on 4,000 square meters of container-grown fertigation systems. Their goal for each plant is to produce between 5 and 6 kg of berries with a diameter of over 20 mm, offering ideal crunchiness and sugar content (°Brix).
Thanks to Biolchim, these goals have not only been met but surpassed.
The Strategy to Maximize Blueberry Plant Potential
1. Autumn Regeneration with NUTRI-GEMMA B-Zn™
After harvesting, two foliar treatments with NUTRI-GEMMA B-Zn™ restored optimal nutrient levels in plant tissues, ensuring fertile buds and an ideal vegetative awakening.
2. Perfect Fruit Set with FOLICIST® and NUTRI-GEMMA B-ZN™
During flowering, the combined application of these specialized products improved floral fertility and ensured optimal fruit set. The innovative formulation of FOLICIST®, featuring plant extracts, folic acid, glycine betaine, and specific amino acids, stimulated plant metabolism, enhancing production potential.
3. Size Enhancement with KRISS®
Two post-fruit-set treatments with KRISS® stimulated cell growth in young fruits, significantly increasing berry size without compromising shelf life.
4. Fertigation with NOV@® for Strong, Productive Plants
NOV@® helped plants develop a robust root system and improved their vegetative and productive balance through hormonal regulation and enhanced nutrient and water uptake.
5. Final Quality Boost with RIZAMMINA® 42
The use of RIZAMMINA®42 in the final stages optimized photosynthesis and fruit consistency, enabling the farmers to achieve a product of exceptional quality.
