12 Years of Success on a 2-Hectare Kiwi Farm in Greece
During a visit to a 2-hectare kiwi farm in Greece, our sales team and Manager Hanspeter Hueter met Christos Ganaras and his son, Giannis, who have been cultivating kiwifruit since 2012. Their farm, protected by a net against hail, has relied on AMALGEROL as their primary biostimulant for over 12 years.
“We have never switched to another product, we are very satisfied with AMALGEROL”

Long-term Use and Satisfaction
Christos Ganaras shared that since starting kiwi cultivation, they have never switched to another activator. They have found AMALGEROL to be a critical component of their farming success, using it consistently every year. Christos emphasized that the product's reliability is one of the key reasons for this long-term commitment. He mentioned, “The advantages we see is that we have new rhizomes, which is very, very, very important in kiwis."

Key Benefits Observed by the Ganaras Family
-
New Rhizome Development: One of the most significant benefits they have experienced is the continuous development of new rhizomes, which is vital for kiwi farming. These new root systems allow the plant to regenerate and absorb nutrients more efficiently, promoting better overall health and yield.
-
Fruit Uniformity: An additional reason Christos continues to use AMALGEROL is the uniformity of the fruits, which is crucial for commercial farming. Having a consistent size and quality in their fruit is important for meeting market standards and achieving better pricing. This uniformity makes AMALGEROL a reliable tool for achieving higher yields of marketable produce.
-
Improved Trunk and Fruit Health: AMALGEROL also supports the overall structure of the kiwi plants, improving trunk strength and boosting fruit development. The result is larger, healthier kiwifruit that meets high-quality standards.
Why Biostimulants Work in Kiwi Cultivation
AMALGEROL, like other biostimulants, works by enhancing the natural processes within the plant. In kiwi cultivation, it promotes root development, making the plants more resilient to stress and improving their ability to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. This helps farmers, especially in challenging environments, achieve optimal growth. The increased nutrient uptake also translates into improved fruit quality, ensuring that the kiwifruit is uniform in size and rich in nutrients.
“We have never switched to another activator,” Christos confirmed, underscoring his trust in the product. The family’s success story reflects how long-term, consistent use of biostimulants like AMALGEROL can help kiwi farmers maximize their crop potential and achieve higher-quality yields.
