Strong root development in palm trees before delivery
These palms were treated with Maxstim Agriculture+ and developed dense, vigorous root systems before leaving the nursery.
Insight
Biostimulant or fertiliser?
Biostimulants support plant performance, while fertilisers supply essential nutrients. Together, they help improve crop growth, resilience, and nutrient efficiency.
Insight
Why variability within a potato crop affects marketable yield
Uneven tuber sizes, variable maturity and inconsistent skin finish can significantly reduce commercial predictability.
Insight
Where onion marketable yield is really gained or lost
Commercial performance improved not simply through total yield increases, but through a greater proportion of onions reaching saleable grades.
Insight
How bioflavonoid programmes are improving consistent crop performance
Across 50 UK potato field trials conducted between 2022 and 2025, Maxstim programmes delivered an average yield increase of 3.7 t/ha.
Insight
Why harvest consistency drives commercial turf performance
The focus is not simply on faster growth. It's helping growers produce stronger, more consistent turf going forward.
Insight
Understanding plant stress responses in crops
Growing conditions are becoming more variable so managing plant response to stress is now central to protecting yield and margin.
Insight
Why some onion growers see 25% yield increases — and others don’t
Growers using the same product can see different results based on its application and distribution.
Insight
Why some potato crops never catch up after a slow start
Small differences at an early phase influence how light is captured, how growth is distributed and how evenly plants contribute to overall performance.
Insight
Why turf production is defined by consistency of performance
Turf production begins with establishment but is determined by how consistently the crop performs across the growing cycle.

Turf – How small differences become field-wide variability
This article focuses on how early differences between plants develop into field-wide variability and why that process is difficult to reverse.
