Folisol 16-8-24
Potassium-weighted, for the fruit filling and ripening phase.
NPK 16-8-24 + ME shifts the balance toward potassium for the phase when the crop is filling and ripening fruit. Potassium moves sugars from leaf to fruit and governs size, colour, firmness and storage life, while the moderate nitrogen keeps the canopy working without pushing soft new growth that would compete with the fruit for assimilate. Full chelated micro-element package included.
Characteristics
- Potassium-weighted 16-8-24 for the fruit filling and ripening phase
- Improves fruit size, colour, sugar content and storage life
- Moderate nitrogen maintains the canopy without forcing soft growth
- Complete chelated micro-element package included
- 100% water soluble, suitable for drip and foliar
- The natural follow-on from a balanced mid-season feed
How it works
Fully water-soluble crystalline NPK dissolves completely and feeds through the drip line or the leaf surface, so the nutrient reaches the root zone in the ratio the crop needs at that growth stage rather than the ratio the soil happens to hold. The included chelated micro-elements cover the trace demands that a straight NPK leaves unmet.
