Eco-sustainability in agriculture refers to farming practices and technical means that aim to preserve and improve ecosystem (plant-soil-microorganism) health, while maintaining an economic and social balance. This approach is based on methods that minimize the environmental impact...

Dehydration of the berry normally occurs on the portion of the grape exposed to sunlight. In fact, excessive exposure to heat is precisely the cause of the loss of water...

The grape ripening phase will start shortly. The winemakers must now provide the latest nutritional inputs that are essential to achieve not only a good production but also an excellent quality product...

t is called MACRILS@ and is ILSA's new all-vegetable biostimulant, a novelty in the Italian company's extensive category of specific-action products. ILSA's first true algae-based formulation comes after years of field trials that have established its absolute...

In summer, when peaches, apricots and cherries are already on the markets, only the earliest varieties of apples and pears are ready to be traded. For them, this is the beginning of the most important phase for their optimal growth...

What is Millerandage? The term “millerandage” indicates an uneven development of the grapes in the bunch. The number and size of the berries are the product of the delicate phase of flowering and fruit set. In this phase...

The last productive years have tested farmers who grow cherries, peaches, apricots and other stone fruits. Environmental stresses have caused many concerns due to mild winters and springs with heavy hailstorms, persistent rains and even snowfalls. This increased the risk of...

The enzymatic hydrolysis FCEH completely controlled, a unique process designed by ILSA from which Gelamin^®, is obtained...

In recent years, the areas dedicated to hazelnut tree cultivation are becoming established and expanding not only in traditional regions such as...

During all its development phases, the olive tree is subject to many environmental, climatic and nutritional factors, which regulate its vegetative-productive behaviour. The ILSA method has sought to improve these development phases by using bio-stimulants and nutritional specialties...

It is by now a well-known fact that fertilisation represents a fundamental agronomic technique to allow a correct vegetative-productive development of the olive tree and of arboreal plants in general...

The first stages of vine development, as well as of other herbaceous and arboreal crops, are among the most delicate. ILSA developed nutritional and biostimulant products that...

Drawing on ILSA’s extensive experience comes an innovative nutritional product, 100% of plant origin, “GMO free”, slow release, ideal for farmers who engage in organic farming and have chosen to follow specific production standards, such as Demeter...

Topics such as food safety, pollution reduction and ecosystem protection are gaining increasing attention. ILSA, the first Italian company to propose fertilization techniques with low environmental impact, offers a wide range of fertilizers allowed in organic farming...

What is hydrolysis and what are protein hydrolysates?
The hydrolysis process enables obtaining the so-called "protein hydrolysates". Hydrolysis is the action of separating the bonds forming an organic or inorganic compound in an aqueous environment and allows obtainin ...

The complete and integrated agronomic management of actinidia is the best solution to obtain great productions. In addition to the size as much as possible uniform, it is necessary to guarantee in the fruits, when harvesting, a good dry substance content and a consistency such as to allow a longer shelf-life...

To provide an answer to these new challenges, the ILSA team of agronomists, biotechnologists, chemists and engineers has succeeded in creating the VIRIDEM^® program, a series of bio stimulants of natural origin that help the…

Bio-stimulants represent a vibrant growth sector. It is much discussed and there are many companies who view bio-stimulants as a market opportunity...

It is increasingly important to collect fruits with a degree of ripeness that meets the high aesthetic and quality standards required by the market. ILSA nutritional specialties based on bioavailable potassium are a solution to achieve objectives such as uniform coloring, a good sugar content ...
