Plants for Plants® is a new generation of plant-based biostimulants, fully controlled from the source to the final product. It is organic and safe for users, consumers, and the planet as it is a 100% natural product following a food-grade process.
During a period of about 10 years LandLab jointly with Van Iperen International has been working on researching, developing, and field testing, backed by scientific data, the effectiveness of the Plants for Plants® concept in promoting sustainable plant nutrition in agriculture. In 2022, Van Iperen International launched the first three products of the Plants for Plants® range:
- P4P 4-Vita, targeting Water Use Efficiency for foliar applications
- P4P 4-Good, targeting Nutrient Use Efficiency also for foliar applications
- P4P 4-Terra, targeting Nutrient Use Efficiency for fertigation
