It requires constant adaptation, consistent management, and decisions that help maintain crop quality even when conditions change.<\/p>\n<p>Located in Cartago, Costa Rica, Grupo MZ Agropecuario has spent more than 40 years building a production model focused primarily on carrots and potatoes, supplying both local and export markets through a production system that combines generations of farming experience, technical expertise, and modern agricultural technologies.<\/p>\n<p>The company began under the leadership of its founder through a conventional farming model focused primarily on carrot production. Today, a new generation led by Otto and Federico Montero continues that legacy by integrating new tools and management practices aimed at sustaining productivity, quality, and long-term operational stability.<\/p>\n<p>For them, carrying the family business forward is about much more than earning a living. It also means honoring years of effort, protecting what has been built, and continuing to evolve the way they farm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor us, carrying the legacy forward is not only how we make a living, but also a way to honor all the work and effort invested over many years,\u201d says Federico Montero.<\/p>\n<p>Sustainability is part of the decisions they make every day. The company strives to maintain a balance between productivity, environmental responsibility, the well-being of the people involved in the operation, and the economic sustainability that allows the business to keep moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Grupo MZ Agropecuario uses GotaBlanca 500 from planting through harvest as part of a preventive management strategy focused on mitigating and reducing disease pressure in both soil and foliage.<\/p>\n<p>Applied at 2 liters per hectare, GotaBlanca 500 helps support the crop throughout the season while reducing chemical load and providing an additional layer of protection for quality, productivity, and long-term crop performance.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond a single application, their management approach focuses on sustaining a farming system capable of remaining productive over time while responding to both operational demands and the need to care for the environment where production takes place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we take care of the environment, the people involved, and the crop itself, the result is a quality product,\u201d explains Otto Montero.<\/p>\n<p>The experience of Grupo MZ Agropecuario shows how decisions guided by knowledge, experience, and a long-term vision can directly influence crop quality and the sustainability of production.<\/p>\n<p>Because in farming, good decisions are also harvested.<\/p>\n<p>Use GotaBlanca 500 in your next planting season.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/clearagro.com\/cr\/contacto\/\">Find your nearest authorized distributor:<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><p>Watch the full testimonial here:<\/p><\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%;\"><iframe style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" title=\"Testimonio de Ariel Castillo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oJwJWRYn7b8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<hr \/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Producir durante todo el a\u00f1o en cultivos hort\u00edcolas exige mucho m\u00e1s que mantener un programa agr\u00edcola activo.
