Soil wellness is an indispensable requirement to obtain fruits and vegetables with finest quality and with high
yields. To the purpose, periodical administrations of nutrients, as well as phytostrengtheners could be
required. Crucial goals to maximize the economic and environmental sustainability of the whole cultivation are
the decrease of the dosages number together with the increase of the active substance availability within the
soil. With these aims a controlled release phytostrengtheners encapsulated in a granular Hydroxypropyl
methylcellulose matrix has been developed exploiting the wet granulation process. The granular product has
been analyzed in terms of Particle Size Distribution (PSD), morphology and flowability. The results showed the
effectiveness of the granulation process and the good flowability of the granules, highly desirable features for
the product handling and commercialization
