Foliar nutrition boosts
plant performance
As a pioneer in foliar fertilizers for over 60 years, we provide you and your customers with cutting-edge solutions for optimal plant nutrition. Our comprehensive product portfolio represents the pinnacle of foliar application technology. Through continuous innovation and research, we develop formulations that set new standards in nutrient efficiency and plant response.
The science of
foliar nutrition
Foliar nutrition is one of the most efficient methods of plant nutrition, delivering nutrients directly to where plants can utilize them most effectively. By applying dissolved nutrients directly to the leaf surface, this technology enables rapid uptake and immediate availability for essential plant processes.
Foliar nutrition has globally proven its superior efficiency compared to traditional soil applications. While soil-based fertilization remains fundamental, foliar nutrition plays a crucial role in meeting specific plant requirements, especially regarding micronutrient supply and during periods of peak nutrient demand.
The particular advantage of foliar nutrition lies in its independence from soil conditions and root uptake capabilities. This makes it an invaluable tool when soil conditions are suboptimal or during periods of environmental stress. Additionally, effective foliar nutrition contributes to stronger root development, creating a positive cycle of improved overall plant health.
Foliar nutrition is especially necessary in the following conditions:
- Visible and latent nutrient deficiencies
- High nutrient demand and insufficient root absorption
- Insufficient nutrient distribution in the plant
- Physiological stress conditions (extreme weather conditions, i.e. frost, drought damage, pesticide sprays and much more)
Foliar fertilization
is much more efficient
Foliar fertilizers are not only easy to use, they also nourish the plants much more efficiently
1 unit of fertilizer applied to foliage has the same effect as ...
... 20 to 100 units of fertilizer applied to the soil.
Advanced
formulation technology
In foliar nutrition, the effectiveness of nutrient delivery depends heavily on formulation quality. We've perfected our formulation technology through decades of research and development, creating products that maximize every aspect of nutrient delivery and uptake. Each component in our innovative formulations is carefully selected and tested to ensure optimal performance, from the choice of raw materials to our specialized additive packages. They are also optimized for special applications, for example drone spraying.
Our product formulations are engineered to optimize every aspect of foliar nutrition:
- Complete nutrient solubility for maximum availability
- Advanced adhesion technology and optimal leaf coverage
- Specialized additives that enhance nutrient uptake
- Premium chelation for improved micronutrient efficiency
- Buffer systems that ensure optimal pH for absorption
- Compatibility with most crop protection products
- Advanced suspension technology for highest nutrient concentrations
