4. Conclusion
I have made one application of Sanbio PLANTA fertilizer and two applications of the Sanbio EPSOMIT fertilizer. After few days I noticed a very good development of the plants at the level of the growth, vegetation, vigor and mass of the roots. Thanks to these two fertilizers we increased the production of five tons and improved the quality of the fruits. I recommend these two fertilizers and I will use them in the production of potatoes.” Mohsen Jenzri, 2017
