Brix Boost
Natural Sugar and Brix Enhancer
Brix Boost is a fruit-sweetening fertilizer meant to improve the overall taste of fruit through enhancing the quality of fruits and vegetables. These compounds are used to improve brix levels and enhance the quality of fruits and vegetables.
Efficacy
Effective at improving the overall quality of the crop.
Effective at enhancing the flavor, taste and overall development of fruits
Effective at supplying crops with a ratio in nutrients formulated for better taste of fruits.
Application
Use Brix Boost to enhance the sweetness and quality of crops by adding 3.8 ml (3/4 tsp) of product to one gallon (1 gal) of water to properly dilute, unless otherwise specified in the table below. This product can also be used in other quantities during the plants bloom cycle, respecting the dilution ratio of 1:1,000 product to water. After dilution, use as a foliar spray 2 - 3 times to achieve better quality fruits. Do not apply prior to excessive rains, since this may reduce product effectiveness.
Active Ingredients
Brix Boost contains ample amounts of phosphorus and potassium with natural sugars, amino acids, complex carbohydrates, and micronutrients.
Safety & Environmental Info
This product is made from naturally derived ingredients and is non-toxic. Appropriate land management practices should be used at all times with any fertilizer; this material should be prevented from entering public or private water supplies (including wells) and any lake, stream, or river.
Mode of Action
Brix Boost contains the proper ratios of macro- and micro- nutrients needed to enhance the sweetness and quality of flowers, fruits and/or vegetables. Brix Boost contains important macro elements responsible for crop development and maturation such as phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and sulfur. Mannitol is a powerful chelating compound, unlocking important elements bound in the soil. Xylose is one of the only carbohydrates that are readily absorbed into the plant without further degradation. Stevioside glycoside is the compound responsible for the sweetness of the Stevia plant and is a commercial alternative to refined sugar (sucrose) from sugar cane. This substance ranges from 50 - 300x sweeter than sucrose, naturally increasing brix levels in fruits and vegetables.
