Optimising potato growth with minimal inputs

More yield, less input – the smart farming revolution

Fertiliser and water are two of the biggest costs in potato farming. But what if you could get higher yields without increasing inputs?

That’s exactly what Maxstim’s flavonoid-based biostimulant, Agriculture+, achieved in recent trials. In field studies, total potato yield increased by 5.2%, with no additional fertiliser or irrigation required. In controlled experiments, tuber weight rose by 33%, demonstrating the efficiency of flavonoid-driven nutrient use.

How does it work?

Agriculture+ doesn’t replace fertilisers or irrigation—it makes the plant better at using them. In this study, Agriculture+ optimised:

Nutrient uptake – Reducing waste and improving fertiliser efficiency
Water-use efficiency – Helping plants cope with drier conditions
Root development – Strengthening plants from the ground up

As fertiliser costs rise and climate change creates unpredictable growing conditions, the ability to produce more with less is critical. Agriculture+ is the future of sustainable farming—delivering higher returns while lowering input dependency.
