Two innovative new foliar fertilizers – Agroleaf Liquid Calcium+ and Total+ − will be showcased on the ICL Specialty Fertilizers (formerly Everris) stand 354 at Fruit Focus next month.
Due to its popularity last year, the stand will again feature a free hog roast. “Fortified with three technologies to boost absorption, Calcium+ is an innovative new superior foliar product that provides a highly cost effective solution to avoiding calcium (Ca) deficiencies in fruit and vegetable crops,” explains Scott Garnett, specialty agriculture manager for UK and Ireland at ICL Specialty Fertilizers.
“Calcium+ contains a blend of Ca combined with amino acids, plant sugars and an industry leading surfactant - all helping to facilitate absorption through the leaf epidermis. Total+ is a new balanced nutrient and plant biostimulant formulated to provide targeted stress relief, just when plants need it most.”
During periods of stress, caused by both environmental factors and pesticide application, Total+ provides plants with NPK along with chelated zinc and manganese and a seaweed extract biostimulant.
Other highlights of the ICL stand include two new Lallemand products - Cilus Plus and IntraCell. “Containing plant growth promoting rhizobacteria, Cilus Plus helps fruit crops mine the soil unlocking phosphorus,” explains Scott. “A powerful new osmoprotectant, IntraCell enables plant cells to naturally defend themselves against a wide range of stresses helping to optimise crop performance.”
Agronomists and growers visiting stand 354 can also find out more about ICL’s sophisticated AngelaWeb precision nutrition programme and the company’s proven foliar, fertigation and controlled release products portfolio – which includes Agrolution, Agroleaf Power, Solinure and Agroblen as well as the Select range of ‘single source’ straight fertilizers.
