Spiragro validated by the LIFE ALGAR‑BBE: improved fruit quality

At Neoalgae, we aim to transform agriculture through natural, effective and sustainable solutions. Today we can proudly share scientific data that validates this vision: Spiragro delivers measurable, high‑impact results.

Part of the field trials were carried out within the EU LIFE ALGAR‑BBE project, led by Neoalgae in partnership with CTAEX (Agri‑Food Technological Centre of Extremadura).

The full results have been published in the scientific journal Sustainability: https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/18/8/3958

Field‑proven improvements in tomato performance

Large-scale trials in Spain (CTAEX) and Portugal delivered exceptional outcomes:

+51.9% increase in total yield

The combined drip + foliar application was the most effective, significantly outperforming the control.

Heavier fruits: +2 to +9 g per fruit

A direct improvement in marketable quality and processing value.

Strong reduction in blossom‑end rot (BER)

The formulation improved physiological stability and reduced losses.

Enhanced plant nutrition

Foliar analysis revealed:

P: +52.9%
Ca: +36.5%
Fe: +60.4%
Cu: +71.3%

Lower reliance on chemical inputs

Crop health was maintained without increasing pesticide or fungicide usage.
