In recent years, it has gained prominence as a strategic crop for ecological agriculture due to its low water requirement, hardiness, and growing international demand for organic products. <\/p>\n\n<p>However, to achieve high yield and quality in commercial organic chia crops, it is essential to design a specific technical program that includes:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Correct microbiological activation of the soil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Balanced nutrition in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ecological phytosanitary protection against fungi, nematodes, and thrips.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Precise biostimulation in critical phases such as flowering and achene formation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>This program has been developed by validating the <strong>official Ecoganic product catalog<\/strong>, the <strong>individual technical data sheets<\/strong>, the <strong>previous trials<\/strong> contained in the internal documents, and the website <a href=\"https:\/\/ecoganic.eu\/en\/\">ecoganic.eu<\/a>. It ensures a solid agronomic approach that is 100% compatible with the ecological regulations of the <strong>European Union (EU Regulation 848\/2018)<\/strong> and the <strong>USDA Organic Program
