Recovery from frost event

AMALGEROL allows fast frost recovery

good recovery 6 months after frost damage
high quality harvest

This is a farmer experience with an orange plantation in Valencia region, Spain.
The temperature dropped below the limit for citrus crops for several days (up to minus 6°C).

The trees got damaged and seemed to be nearly dead.

In February, the farmer gave 6 l/ha AMALGEROL into the irrigation system and let it run for 2 hours. 15 days later (when the trees began to sprout) he repeated the treatment.

Impressively, the trees resprouted vigorously and 6 months later already looked normal again. The harvest had a high quality with a good fruit size and a high number of fruits.
