Rize Agricultural Chamber has initiated an organic fertilizer study with Hungary to increase tea yield. The pilot application started in Rize at a sample garden.
Rize Agricultural Chamber, in collaboration with the Hungarian Export Promotion Agency HEPA Turkey and the Hungarian company Agrobio, has initiated a trial study on organic fertilizer in Rize. The pilot application started at the exemplary garden of Rize Agricultural Chamber as part of the project to increase the quality and yield of tea. Zoltan Daoda, the owner of the Hungarian company Agrobio, along with Zsolt Imre Pinter and Judit Virag from the Agrobio distributor Scytenergy, Seda Hewitt from the Hungarian Export Promotion Agency HEPA Turkey, and Resul Okumuş, a tea industry representative from Rize, attended the program led by Bünyamin Arslan, the President of Rize Agricultural Chamber, where the first fertilizers were applied to the trial garden.
Alongside Hungary, Agrobio, a trusted and preferred name in agricultural practices in Eastern Europe, Switzerland, and Spain, has introduced organic fertilizers for Turkish tea cultivation. The aim is to enhance tea yield by utilizing Algafix (a biostimulant) and Bactofil B (microbial soil fertilizer). Algafix, derived from a type of algae grown in Lake Balaton, is an organic liquid that, when applied to plant leaves, acts as a natural growth hormone, aiding in rapid plant development. On the other hand, Bactofil B, when mixed with soil, is a bacterial blend that facilitates the easy absorption of potassium and phosphorus minerals by plants from the soil. It also has a soil-enhancing effect, improving soil structure and quality with regular use. Trial applications of these two new organic fertilizers will continue periodically in the experimental garden. It is hoped that these applications will further enhance agricultural cooperation between Turkey and Hungary.
