Fertilising, strengthening, protecting – what do plants really need?

With the right care, plant strengthening and balanced fertilisation, ideal conditions are created for healthy, robust plants – without the use of harmful chemicals. We show the difference between plant strengthening and fertilisation and the advantages they offer compared to the use of pesticides.

The same applies to all living things: a strong system is more resistant to external influences. This also applies to plants – healthy plants are more robust against pests, diseases and environmental stress factors. But how can you optimally support your plants? With the right care and regular strengthening, acute problems will occur much less frequently. Below, you will learn the difference between fertilisation, plant strengthening and pesticides, and the role these measures play in the health of your plants.

Plant strengthening – natural support for strong plants

Plant fortifiers, such as the products from Multikraft, activate the natural defences of your plants. Targeted support makes them more resistant to diseases, pests and extreme weather conditions - without any chemical contamination of the soil and environment.
The biggest advantage: plant fortification has a preventative effect. Healthy plants require fewer pesticides and are much better at overcoming stress factors. Nutrient absorption is also improved, making fertiliser more efficient and protecting the soil in the long term.
Combining plant strengthening agents such as Roots, Plants or Flowers from Multikraft with a balanced fertiliser creates the ideal conditions for healthy, resilient plants – with no harmful side effects for people or the natural world.

Fertilisation – the perfect nutrient supply

Fertilisation ensures that your plants are supplied with essential nutrients – and thus forms the basis for healthy growth. Regular and balanced fertilisation strengthens plants, promotes their development and ensures a rich harvest.

Acute problems – use plant protection products sparingly and in a targeted manner

Pesticides should only be used when pests or diseases pose an acute problem. Although they are often very effective, they also pollute the environment. Targeted and sparing use is therefore important to minimise negative effects on humans, soil and beneficial insects. Combine plant strengthening with balanced fertilisation and you will create the best conditions for healthy, resilient plants – without any harmful side effects for people or nature.

An overview of the differences between plant strengthening, fertilisation and pesticides (plant protection)

plant stabiliser fertilisation plant protection
target Strengthening the natural defences via the leaves and roots Supply of essential nutrients to the plant Control of pests and fungal diseases by chemical or biological means
mode of action Activation of natural processes, promotion of plant health, link between fertiliser and root Support for plant growth and nutrient absorption Direct control of pests or fungi using chemical or biological agents
deployment time Regularly for prevention As needed, depending on the plant's nutrient requirements In the event of an acute pest or disease infestation
Sustainability Environmentally friendly and organic Sustainable when used in the right dosage and with organic fertilisation Often harmful to the environment and living things
long-term effect Yes Yes No, mostly short-term effect
Examples of products Organic agents such as plant extracts and essential oils; mineral substances such as rock dust; microbiological preparations with fungi and bacteria compost, bokashi, Terrabest, sheep's wool, liquid plant fertiliser Insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, growth inhibitors

Create the ideal conditions for healthy, resilient plants with plant fortifiers and the right dosage of fertiliser – without any harmful side effects for people or nature. Care for your plants regularly and pay attention to their needs, and they will thank you with vigorous growth and a rich harvest.

Beneficial insects in the organic garden: a key to biodiversity and healthy harvests

The aim of a biogarden is not just to harvest delicious homegrown fruit and vegetables – it is also about the interaction between plants, animals and microorganisms. Beneficial organisms are a particularly important part of this natural ecosystem. These little helpers – from insects to birds to soil organisms – play a crucial role in promoting the health of your garden and creating a balance that does not require the use of chemicals. But why are beneficial insects so important, how can you encourage them, and why is this also important for wild biodiversity?
