Margit Olle: 

A Pioneer in Sustainable Vegetable Cultivation with Remarkable Discoveries 

Throughout her accomplished talent like career, Margit Olle has authored 16 books on sustainable vegetable cultivation and made 5 significant discoveries (detailed in the video):

• Plants grown under a far-red filter contain more calcium and display fewer calcium deficiency symptoms.

• Plants cultivated under negative DIF conditions have higher calcium levels and fewer calcium deficiency symptoms.

• Effective microorganisms (EM) enhance the quality of tomato transplants, leading to compact growth and a larger stem diameter.

• Silicon (Si), in the form of silicic acid, promotes taller tomato transplants with a larger stem diameter.

• The highest protein yields were obtained from the Capella, Clara, and Kirke varieties, with a trend indicating that increasing the sowing rate boosts protein yield. 

Do you know how to increase the size of tomatoes harvested and the yield of tomatoes? It can be done by using UBP.  

UBP (Universal Bio Protector) products are concentrated organic mineral fertilizers with high-quality humic and fulvic acids and minerals bound to organic matter. The current experiment aimed to study UBP's effect on the tomato determinate variety Mato. The study looked at yield, biomass, and nutrient content in fruits.

UBP improved the yield of the determinate tomato variety Mato by 25%. The UBP treatment's yield was seen four days before the control. The UBP treatment had more root and shoot biomass than the control. The lengths of roots in both vertical and horizontal directions did not exhibit statistically significant differences. Compared to the control, the UBP treatment tomatoes contained more phosphorus. The contents of nitrogen, potassium, calcium, and magnesium in tomato fruits did not differ between treatments. The UBP treatment's fruits were bigger than the control treatment's.

In our tomato experiment, using UBP treatment led to earlier and higher yields, bigger tomatoes, more biomass (total, roots, and shoots), and higher phosphorus levels in the fruits.

How to grow cucumber transplants?

Silicon, when readily available to plants, plays a large role in their growth, mineral nutrition, mechanical strength, and resistance to fungal diseases, herbivory, and adverse chemical conditions of the medium. Other beneficial effects include overall disease and insect resistance, plant structural fortification, and regulation of the uptake of other plant nutrients. 

The video details how silicic acid enhances the quality of cucumber transplants. Cucumbers treated with silicic acid were taller, appeared greener, and had a greater stem diameter compared to the control group. Additionally, the nitrate content in raw cucumber transplants was higher in the silicic acid treatment. The levels of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Magnesium in the dry matter of cucumber transplants were also higher in the silicic acid treatment compared to the control. However, the contents of Potassium and Calcium in the dry matter did not significantly differ between the treatments. 

How to increase the quality of tomato transplants? Do you know that? The secret is inside of that video.

Here is one possible way: This study looked at how well effective microorganisms helped tomato plants grow and how they affected the nutrients in the plants. There were two groups: one with effective microorganisms (EM) and one without (control). Effective microorganisms (EM) improve the quality of tomato transplants because they remain compact with a greater stem diameter. The leaves of the plants with EM had higher levels of nutrients like nitrates, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg).
