Phyto C (Cold)
0-0-6
A liquid potassium, calcium, zinc, magnesium and boron fertilizer to promote cold tolerance (containing 6% potassium, 1.8% calcium, 2% zinc, 0.6% magnesium, 0.25% boron)
Role of Potassium in the Plant:
- Essential for enzyme activation
- Improves sugar levels and flavour
- Improves drought resistance and stress tolerance
- Increases resistance to disease
- Controls stomatal openings and influences transpirational activity
Role of Boron in the Plant:
- Encourages the uptake and movement of cation nutrients (K, Mg, Ca) within the plant
- Transports sugars through the plant
- Essential for seed, pollen development, seed set
Role of Calcium in the Plant:
- Cell division and cell wall strength
- Deficiencies cause cells to collapse resulting in internal disorders and retards terminal growth
Role of Zinc in the Plant:
- Helps winterize perennial crops
- Necessary for auxin production (growth regulators)
Role of Magnesium in the Plant:
- Forms the nucleus of the chlorophyll molecule which promotes healthy green growth
- Aids the plant in increasing natural resistance to harmful environmental conditions (drought and disease)
Advantages of Phyto C
