SKU 37759-cOptycal Intermag – foliar calcium activator
Optycal Intermag is an innovative foliar calcium activator that improves the size, quality and storage properties of the yield.
Description
Optycal Intermag – foliar activator for larger and better quality yields
Optycal is an innovative, water-soluble foliar calcium activator that improves the size, quality and storage properties of the yield.
Optycal Intermag, as a calcium activator, is one of the elements of the Stress Control System (SCS) strategy supporting the natural resistance of plants.
Optycal Intermag supplies plants with calcium in two ways:
- stimulates calcium uptake from the soil and its transport to the youngest parts of the plants (auxin-calcium pump effect),
- provides easily assimilable organic calcium directly in the foliar treatment.
Additional advantages of the Optycal Intermag activator:
- does not contain nitrates – can be used during periods when plants are sensitive to excess nitrogen in nitrate form,
- does not contain chlorides,
- unique composition and stable formulation ensure compatibility with other agrochemicals and effective and efficient action of the product.
Composition of Optycal Intermag:
- Calcium oxide (CaO) - 350 g/kg (35.0% w/w),
- Formate - 560 g/kg (56.0% w/w),
- Boron (B) - 1.0 g/kg (0.100% w/w),
- Copper (Cu) chelated by EDTA - 0.5 g/kg (0.050% w/w),
- Iron (Fe) chelated by EDTA - 1.5 g/kg (0.150% w/w),
- Manganese (Mn) chelated by EDTA - 0.7 g/kg (0.070% w/w),
- Molybdenum (Mo) - 0.02 g/kg (0.002% w/w),
- Zinc (Zn) chelated by EDTA - 2.0 g/kg (0.200% w/w),
Optycal Intermag uses INT technology, which makes it exceptionally effective:
The INT technology applied in the Optycal preparation increases the speed and efficiency of uptake, transport and assimilation of nutrients and stimulating substances in the plant. These effects are achieved thanks to appropriately developed organic components.
How to use the Optycal Intermag activator?
Optycal should be applied foliarly as an aqueous solution. It can be used together with other preparations after conducting a test confirming compatibility.
Doses can be modified taking into account the individual needs of plants and cultivation conditions.
