Soil conditioning

(Case Study)

Porous Alpha realized water saving, fertilizer saving and
increasing yield for agriculture in arid zone.

Morocco

Realized saving water and fertilizer, increasing yield
for these cultures of Tomato, Green beans and Pepper

We established a subsidiary in Agadir, Morocco to solve a agricultural issues
such as a water shortage and/or farm management

<Result mentioned following articles>

Result show the comparison between 2 condition about ‘with Porous Alpha’ and ‘without Porous Alpha’.
Irrigation volume and fertilizer volume designates actual input volume, and yield was compared by fresh weight.
