WHERE HIGH - INPUT TECHNIQUES ARE USED

The base enzymatic protein complexes are manufactured by bacterial fermentation processes in laboratory conditions and have proven records the world over.

Application Techniques

In order to achieve the best results from this product the following techniques should be observed:

1. Ensure the plant is at the correct growth stage.

This may vary with crop and the reason the product is being used.

2. ONLY apply the product when the plant is actively growing.

Plant dormancy or existing stress does not allow proper utilisation of the product. (However, a degree of stress recovery will be achieved if applied using criteria 3.)

3. ONLY apply the product when there is no heat stress.

e.g. In the evening after the main heat of the day or during a cooler, more overcast day when there will then be a period of coolness during which time the plant can absorb the product.

Experience has shown that better results are obtained from applying the product in cool, good growing conditions - even in light drizzle - than in hot, bright, dry conditions

*************************************

USE in CONJUNCTION with

REDUCED FERTILISER and FUNGICIDE application

This product is designed to enhance the growth characteristics of the plant.

It will help the plant make better use of available nutrients by improving root structure and by maintaining cell activity.

The plant is therefore Stronger, Healthier, Hardier and Better Able to cope with Disease and Stress conditions caused by Drought, Heat, etc.

This results in a better quality (within grade) crop of heavier individual weight
