Micro Boost
Micronutrients with Essential Trace Elements
Micro Boost is a liquid fertilizer used to address minor element deficiencies for all crops and to meet a specific nutrient need. This product contains important macro, secondary, and micronutrients that are necessary for healthy, robust plant growth and proper enzymatic function. These essential elements are readily available, through the addition of chelating and complexing agents, for plants that require quick assimilation of micronutrients.
Efficacy
Effective at combating micronutrient deficiencies
Effective at promoting fruit set
Effective at improving resistance against plant stress caused by environment, disease, etc.
Application
Micro Boost is composed of the necessary micronutrients, minor elements, chelating agents, and natural sugars required for robust plants.
Active Ingredients
Nematode Control uses the natural extract geraniol as the active ingredient to reach the highest level of efficacy, while greatly reducing the environmental impact of using this product. Geraniol is our best recommendation for natural control of plant parasitic nematodes.
Safety & Environmental Info
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
Micro Boost contains five necessary micronutrients that aid in stress resistance, pollination, and in correcting micronutrient deficiencies. Micro Boost helps the movement of calcium and promotes crop development through the absorption of inorganic nutrients trapped in soil. This allows the plants roots to absorb micronutrients in the soil, alleviating micronutrient deficiencies and physiological disorders.
Boron has an important role in the circulation of sugars, primarily saccharose. Copper promotes photosynthesis in plants and is beneficial to building enzymes. Iron takes part in the respiratory processes of the plant and contributes to the formation of proteins. Molybdenum is an essential element in the plants for the synthesis of amino acids from nitrogen absorbed. Zinc acts as an activator of some important functions in plants and participates in the the formation of auxins and growth hormones.
