Agriculture has never been more advanced, with drip systems that self-correct, machines that steer themselves and seeds engineered for resilience. Yet plant nutrition remains a weak link in an otherwise high-tech farm.
Plenan closes this gap with high-purity liquid fertilisers designed for precise, trouble-free integration into today’s fertigation and automated injection systems. Field use indicates that low-salt index formulations with readily available nutrients support smoother system operation and more consistent nutrient delivery, helping growers boost productivity across fruits, vegetables, and flowers with greater precision.
“Customers stay with us because they see the results in the field and feel the difference in practice, and it is this consistency that sustains trust and brand loyalty,” says Henrique Barbosa, commercial director.
The Formula Designed for Modern Irrigation
The company’s distinction comes from its formulation science. Most liquid fertilisers on the market are simple dilutions of raw materials, often limited to a single nutrient, such as potassium, phosphorus or nitrogen. In field operations, this approach requires manual mixing, increases the risk of compatibility issues and interrupts fertigation when precipitation or clogging occurs. This slows down the process and creates more variability than control.
Plenan follows a different path. Its formulations are created through true chemical reactions, not simple blending. This provides each product with stability and a natural synergy between macro- and micronutrients, including nickel, which supports key metabolic processes. The controlled chemistry helps nutrients remain active for longer, limiting precipitation and unwanted reactions and improving plant uptake efficiency.

A balanced relationship between cations and anions further supports nutrient availability, allowing irrigation water to deliver nutrients more effectively to the root zone.
“Our solutions are true formulations designed to simplify management, reduce operational costs and boost field productivity,” says Junior Basseto, planning director.
Field results clearly illustrate this impact. A citrus grower managing 44 hectares required 4 days of fertigation because the mineral salts required manual mixing and frequent unclogging. After adopting Plenan’s liquid formulations, the work was completed in a single day. The time gained carried through the season, and productivity increased by about 20 percent. Fruit uniformity also improved.
Growers report that this is not an isolated result. From tomatoes and strawberries to peppers, cucumbers and coffee, similar outcomes are being observed when nutrition is engineered to operate in step with modern irrigation systems.
Turning Harsh Conditions into Productive Fields
The science was developed to overcome the harsh agricultural conditions in Latin America that limit crop yields year after year. Water often shifts toward alkalinity, soils compact under salinity and microbiota weaken under constant stress. These changes reduce yield potential and disrupt the natural rhythm of the plant.
Plenan’s low salt index helps reduce salinity stress in the root zone, supporting soil recovery over time. Roots settle into a healthier environment, absorb nutrients more efficiently, and carry that strength throughout the plant. Growth becomes steadier, and quality becomes more uniform across the cycle.
Plenan treats environmental responsibility and resource optimisation as core principles that guide the development and use of its products. It supports distributors and producers with ongoing technical guidance, ensuring that every nutrient solution is used correctly for the crop and the irrigation setup.
Its teams invest heavily in technical training, practical workshops and regular field monitoring, helping to match dosage and nutrient solution volumes with real field conditions. This approach supports more efficient use of water and fertilisers, contributing to strong agronomic performance with reduced environmental impact.
Plenan views sustainability as the outcome of applied science, technical guidance and conscious management, shaping each step from product development to field application.
For the upcoming year, Plenan plans to introduce innovative formulations that further strengthen its commitment to sustainable, high-performance nutrition.
