“When a product works, it works.”

In the fertile region of Arles, nestled in the Bouches-du-Rhône of southern France, Jean-Paul Fargier cultivates a thriving 9-hectare market greenhouse. With 2 hectares dedicated to peppers and another 2 to eggplants, Jean-Paul is no stranger to the complexities of high-yield horticulture. His commitment to precision and profitability led him to explore innovative solutions in 2024 - one of which was the introduction of AMALGEROL.

Introducing Amalgerol

It all began with a test. Jean-Paul partnered with Mona to trial AMALGEROL on two 2000 m² plots - one for peppers in a tunnel and another for eggplants in a greenhouse. “We didn’t notice much difference in the plant growth at first,” he recalls. “I was worried it would push too much vegetative growth, but that wasn’t the case.”

Fewer Second-Grade Fruits, Bigger Return

What did stand out was fruit quality. “We immediately saw an improvement - fewer second-grade fruits,” Jean-Paul explains. That quality shift was key, but the real win came at harvest. In some cases, yields increased by up to 1 kg per square meter -an impressive gain for any grower.

Quality and Consistency

Fewer downgraded fruits meant a better-quality harvest and higher profitability. “That’s very important for me,” he emphasizes. The results made it clear: AMALGEROL wasn’t just a treatment - it was a performance booster.

From Trial to Full-Scale Confidence

For Jean-Paul, profitability is non-negotiable. “Using AMALGEROL isn’t an expense. We’re able to make it profitable,” he says, reinforcing the value of performance-based farming.

Future Plans

With such clear results, Jean-Paul isn’t looking back. “This year, for 2025, I moved from trial to full and complete use. When a product works, it works.” His full transition underscores a confidence backed by results and experience.

Conclusion

Jean-Paul Fargier’s journey illustrates how informed experimentation and the right product can translate into tangible success. By switching fully to AMALGEROL, he’s not only increasing yields but also enhancing the quality and marketability of his crops - proving that with the right tools, precision farming pays off.
