The following trial, established in Spain, assessed the performance of Ruter AA® on the production of cucumber crops cultivated under glass. This product is particularly indicated to favour rooting and to stimulate growth in horticultural crops during the first stages of the crop cycle.

The results of this test, as can be seen in figure 1, show an 8% increase in the yield with Ruter AA as opposed to the control.

This increase is explained by the fact that the product shows a complete and balanced composition, with a high content of organic matter (18% w/v) and active L-α-amino acids, arginine and methionine in particular, which have an important effect on root development.

The product includes EDDHA- and EDTA-chelated stable micronutrients (Fe, Mn and Zn), and macronutrients, among which the high phosphorous content stands out, which is an essential macro-element during the first stages of growth.
