How to support your plantations?

Advices  |  28/05/2025

Why do some plantations struggle to establish?

Some plantations struggle to establish properly due to unfavourable climatic conditions such as frost, drought, or water stress, which weaken young plants from the very first weeks. Added to this are soils that are often depleted or unbalanced, failing to provide the nutrients necessary for optimal growth. Young plants also face difficulties in developing a root system that is sufficiently dense and deep to anchor effectively and absorb water and nutrients. Finally, the lack of active micro-organisms in the soil greatly limits the biological life essential for proper nutrient assimilation and vigorous establishment.

Success relies on a living, balanced soil and support for young plants during their early stages.

Best practices to implement

To encourage successful establishment of plantations, it is essential to begin by preparing a soil rich in organic matter to ensure optimal structure and fertility. The addition of processed organic matter then helps to sustainably nourish the soil and improve nutrient availability for plants. Regular watering, without excess, helps maintain good water balance without suffocating the roots. Finally, stimulating soil microbial life and root development is a key lever for strengthening plant vitality and their ability to establish sustainably.

The importance of natural biostimulants

A targeted application can:

  • accelerate root growth,
  • improve nutrient assimilation,
  • strengthen soil biodiversity,
  • support the plant during phases of high energy demand (photosynthesis, flowering, fruiting).

Bring life back to your soils and energise your plantations

To support the growth and vitality of your crops, it is essential to stimulate the biological fertility of the soil. Dopactif, rich in organic matter and active micro-organisms, promotes root development, improves nutrient availability, and strengthens soil biodiversity. Trials carried out with Dopactif have shown significant results: up to a 52% increase in soil respiration and an additional 7% of ammoniacal nitrogen in musts, confirming its effectiveness for healthier and more productive plantations.
