Plant nutrition
at the heart of our vision of
agronomy
AXSO aims to emphasize and provide more value to fertilization, and more generally to plant nutrition, one of the pillars of plant health.
To do this, we created the Agronomic Commission. This commission represents a real place for exchanges and sharing of technical and environmental know how. Indeed, nowadays one needs to be more and more innovative to meet its market expectations.
AXSO is responsible for monitoring and sourcing both conventional and alternative bio solutions. We want to be proactive so as to catch all types of innovations. The power of all the agronomic services combined allows us to evaluate and qualify the latest market appearances. Our territory, which covers the so-called Great South of France, includes a great cultures diversity. The relevance and efficiency of the experimented solutions can have broad variability.
Therefore, for each situation we do find the best technical and economic compromise.
