Sustainable and Resilient Farming with Biota Nutri

More and more strawberry growers are switching from open-field cultivation to substrate cultivation. This gives them greater control over water, nutrients, and growth factors. This cultivation method offers an efficient alternative to traditional open-field cultivation and helps achieve more stable production of strawberry plants with higher quality and yield. However, successful substrate cultivation depends entirely on a well-tailored fertilization plan. By precisely matching nutrient application to the plant’s needs, cultivation remains manageable and profitable, even as environmental regulations become increasingly stringent.

Biota Nutri supports conventional growers as well as growers interested in organic products. Our (organic) fertilizers and biostimulants are specially formulated for substrate systems in strawberry cultivation. Our products help improve nutrient uptake, stimulate root development, and increase resistance to diseases, drought, and other stress factors. In short, a practical solution for growers striving for resilient cultivation, with fewer chemicals and more organic matter in their growing system.

Biota Nutri products for strawberries grown in substrate

For those looking for fertilizers suitable for strawberry cultivation in a controlled environment such as a greenhouse, Biota Nutri offers a range of powerful solutions. These products are specifically tailored to the plant’s challenging growth stages as well as the characteristics of popular growing media. Plus, they’re organic. Below is a selection of our solutions:

Biota Calcium

Biota Calcium is a liquid, organic fertilizer based on natural calcium. It strengthens the cell walls of fruit crops, making them more resistant to transport, storage, and stress. The formula is fully compatible with irrigation systems and foliar application.

  • It is safe to use in combination with crop protection products
  • It increases the shelf life and firmness of the fruit
  • It is more easily absorbed than chemical sources of calcium

Biota Iron

Biota Iron is an organically stabilized iron powder that promotes chlorophyll production and prevents iron deficiencies. It results in greener, more vigorous crops with increased photosynthesis and higher yields. Thanks to its natural chelated form, the iron is highly bioavailable, even at higher pH levels. This product:

  • Increases chlorophyll content and photosynthesis.
  • Improves crop resistance.
  • Is highly soluble and UV-resistant.

Why grow strawberries in potting mix?

For those wondering whether you can grow strawberries in a greenhouse, using hydroponics, or in CEA systems: the answer is a resounding yes. The techniques for growing strawberries in substrate offer growers more control, greater predictability, and higher-quality yields.

Advantages of substrate cultivation:

  • Reduced risk of disease thanks to sterile or stabilized substrate
  • Controlled nutrient supply via fertigation and recirculation
  • Consistent quality due to minimal fluctuations in water and nutrients
  • Improved root development and oxygen supply
  • Flexible cultivation in greenhouses, tunnels, and vertical systems

Substrates such as coconut coir are often chosen for their good water retention and aeration. We recommend that customers add some peat to coconut coir, as this increases the substrate’s nitrification capacity. Because substrate cultivation requires precise nutrient strategies for each growth stage, a good fertilization plan is essential.

Why choose our approach?

At Biota Nutri, we develop products that are circular, plant-based, and effective. Our fertilizers are made from byproducts of the food industry (such as corn or potato products) and are free of sodium and chlorides. This makes them gentle on the growing medium, safe for the crop, and tailored to the needs of modern organic growers.

Our approach aligns perfectly with growers who strive for:

  • Resilient Farming with Healthy, Stress-Resistant Plants
  • Fewer chemicals, and therefore fewer residues and less environmental impact
  • More organic matter in the growing system for long-term fertility
  • Precise nutrition tailored to each growth stage with less leaching
  • Better balance between input costs and crop quality

Our approach is supported by practical results at home and abroad. Feel free to ask about our experience with similar crops.
