Arevo

Arevo offers entirely unique biostimulants and plant nutrition products that simplify cultivation and promote sustainable growth of trees and other plants. arGrow® products are used in forestry for nurturing and planting of mainly pine and spruce, and development is underway to adapt to more plant species in forestry, horticulture and agriculture. Arevo's activities are based on Professor Torgny Näsholm's award-winning research on plant nutrient uptake. The products are based on pioneering knowledge about how plants can use the amino acid arginine as a natural source of nitrogen. Arginine is absorbed quickly by plants, binds tightly to soil particles and is gentle on the micro-life in the soil, which enables strong growth of roots, very low leakage of nitrogen and good soil health. Simple, efficient and climate smart.
