The Fertiliser 2.0 series is a new generation of fertilisers, specifically developed for highly effective foliar feeding of plants. These products, termed Basfoliar 2.0 and ADOB 2.0, were created thanks to the close cooperation between ADOB® , Sabanci Üniversitesi in Turkey and Madrid-based Universidad Autónoma. Their chelating agent is IDHA, ADOB®’s patented biodegradable compound.
Based on the sophisticated 2.0 technology, these fertilisers have unique technical features. The most important are:
- The low surface tension of the solution, which flattens the sprayed drops and significantly increases their leaf wetting area.
- The leaf is wetted completely and evenly.
- The drops do not move after landing on the leaf.
This improved coverage increases nutrient uptake greatly. It also means the fertiliser is more cost effective.
Fertiliser 2.0 – flat drops of fertiliser, uniform and complete coverage of the leaf lamina
Fertiliser 2.0 series. Fully soluble fertilisers, adapted specifically for cutting-edge effective foliar feeding due to ultra-low surface tension, high contact area with the leaf and a very high uptake rate.

Basfoliar® 2.0 36 Extra
Standard, conventional fertiliser. Its aqueous solution has high surface tension, resulting in low contact area with the leaf and a low uptake rate

Fertilisers 2.0 – innovative, effective and safe
The high surface tension of standard fertilisers’ drops produces a high wetting angle and spherical drops
The low surface tension of Fertiliser 2.0’s drop produces a low wetting angle and a flat drop
