Soiltech - Model Optima Leaf-Mn+ -Liquid Foliar Fertiliser
Optima Leaf-Mn+ is a liquid foliar-fertiliser based on manganese that has been 100% complexed with hepta gluconic acid (HGA). Manganese deficiency is often common at high pH levels in the soil. Treating the soil with manganese is not effective in this case. There is often sufficient manganese, but its uptake is impossible. In this case, the only effective treatment is foliar treatment. Manganese is an important trace element that is essential for the formation of chloroplasts.
Optima Leaf+ -Range
Optima Leaf-Mn+ is part of the Optima Leaf range, a line of foliar fertilisers that are efficiently absorbed by the plant. The `+` stands for the presence of supplement trace elements. These prevent one-sided fertilisation and demonstrably increase the effectiveness of the product.
Functions of manganese
- As a catalyst, ensures that all kinds of plant processes proceed faster and better.
- Necessary for chlorophyll production and therefore important for photosynthesis.
- Required for optimal seed formation in all crops.
Possible causes of manganese deficiency in the plant
- High soil pH.
- Low manganese levels in the soil.
- High calcium, copper and iron levels can inhibit the uptake of manganese.
- Soils that have been frequently tilled/worked. (open structure)
- Delivers manganese in an organically complexed form.
- Ensures efficient uptake and translocation of manganese.
- Product approved for organic agriculture and horticulture in compliance with regulations EC 2018-848 & EC 2021-1165.
