  • -Premixed in careful controlled ratios so that the crop receives the essential nutrients specific to its growth stage.
  • -Completely soluble and plant available, delivering the required amounts of nutrients with low application rates
  • -High concentration reduces quantity of product needed and saves on packaging and freight cost
