Fertile Boost
Advanced Soluble Calcium and Boron Fertilizer Supplement
Fertile Boost is a fertilizer composed of macro and secondary elements that stimulate foliage and stem growth, root development, and enzyme stimulation. This proprietary blend of nitrogen, calcium, and boron enables Fertile Boost to enhance the production and transportation of carbohydrates and proteins, resulting in accelerated plant growth.
Efficacy
Effective against “bitter-pit” in apples, “black heart” in celery, lettuce & beet roots, “blossom-end-rot” in tomatoes, and “tip-burn” in peppers & strawberries.
Improves the hardness & quality of fruit and regulates the amount of calcium inside the fruit.
Effective against cracking in citrus and physiological disorders in many crops.
Application
Use Fertile Boost to stimulate plant growth by adding 11.4 ml (1 1/3 tsp) to one gallon (1 gal) of water to properly dilute, unless otherwise specified in the table below. Do not apply prior to excessive rains, since this may reduce product effectiveness.
Active Ingredients
Fertile Boost is a formulation with calcium and boron sources. Fertile Boost improves plant health and fruit quality, as well as the storage life of fruits. It also regulates calcium distribution inside the fruit and helps to avoid fruit cracking.
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
Fertile Boost can be applied to leaves, fruit, and soil. Studies and field tests have shown benefits to many crops by relieving deficiencies of calcium and boron. Calcium is involved in root growth and influences the transportation of carbohydrates and proteins. Improves the germination of pollen tubes and pollen fertility, and mediates carbohydrate production.
