Transcript T6M4 PLANT FUEL

T6M4 PLANT FUEL
• Designed to match any crops need
• Low Salt index
• Nutrients are in plant available forms
• Compatible with popular pesticides
• Easy to pump and handle
• Non- corrosive to equipment
• Easy and effectively applied
Benefits to T6M4
• Provide nutrients during peak periods of demand
• Supplying plants with certain nutrients, such as zinc and iron, that may not
be readily available for root uptake especially in high soil pH.
• Allowing flexibility in suppling nutrients related to improving the quality of
the harvest.
• Controlling nutrient losses in conditions with high potential loss.
• Providing a nutrient source during periods of stress when soil applications
are not practical.
• Giving a nutritional boost to plants at the same time that other foliar
chemicals are being applied, thereby minimizing application expenses.
• Improve Nitrogen Use Efficiency.
How to use
• Spray with herbicide and fungicide to avoid extra application costs
• Spray at 1 to 1.5 litres per acre as this is about the limit to what can be
efficiently absorbed by the plant on a single foliar application
• Many environmental factor can impact the effectiveness of foliar nutrient
application. Generally, application during early morning or evening is most
effective.
• Air temp less than 27degree C and high humidity favour nutrient
absorption thru the leaf
• Low wind speed
• Droplet size smaller the better but 100 microns is to small as drift can be a
problem
Foliar Feeding Facts
• Tests have shown that foliar feeding can be 8 to 10 times more
effective than soil feeding.
• Up to 90% of a foliar –fed solution can be found in the roots of a plant
within 1 hour of application.
• An effective way to compensate for soil deficiencies and poor soil’s
inability to transfer nutrients to the plant.
• Leaves are very efficient at absorbing nutrients and utilizing this can
enhance yield over roots alone.
Hidden Hunger
• The yield loss in a crop from nutrient deficiency without showing
physical symptoms
• Estimates that over 30% of crops affected
• Ever increasing problem as high levels of fertilizer increase yields
greater demand for all nutrients
• Top producers at the highest risk
• Large yields require more nutrients, each year more nutrients are
pulled out off the soil.
• Fertilizer is very expensive and crops yield to the level of the most
limiting nutrient.

Cost Saving Strategies
• Apply with herbicide and fungicide so no additional application cost
• Weeds boosted by the fertilizer will uptake herbicide better
• Reducing the amount of fertilizer applied at seed by the cost of the
foliar would essentially mean no extra cost.
• Improve Nitrogen Use Efficiency.
• The closer you are to harvest the fewer risks to your crop.
