Characteristics
ADOB® NPK Foliar 10-40-8 + micro is a multinutrient, multi-functional crystalline fertiliser. This fully water-soluble product is designed for foliar, fertigation, and soilless applications to arable, vegetable, floriculture and orchard crops. It supplies plants with the essential nutrients nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg) and sulphur (S), ensuring the optimal development of their aboveground parts. Due to its very high phosphorus content, ADOB® NPK Foliar 10-40-8 + micro stimulates root growth and flowering. It also contains all six micronutrients: boron (B), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), molybdenum (Mo), manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn).
All micronutrients (except boron and molybdenum) are chelated by the modern, biodegradable IDHA agent, while boron and molybdenum (which cannot be chelated) are present as water-soluble, inorganic components. As a result, all nutrients are readily and quickly available to all crop plants. This unique combination of essential nutrients ensures the optimal development of plants’ biomass, shoots, roots, flowers and fruits.
ADOB® NPK Foliar 10-40-8 + micro also boosts plants’ vigour and improves their health. It effectively prevents nutrient deficiencies, especially under occasional stressful growth conditions.
