For improved fruit quality

Optima Leaf-Fe+ is a liquid foliar fertiliser based on iron that has been 100% complexed with hepta gluconic acid (HGA). Iron deficiency is often common at high pH levels in the soil. Treating the soil with iron is not effective in this case. There is often an abundance of iron, but the uptake of iron is prevented by the high pH. In this case, the only effective treatment is with foliar nutrients. Iron plays a major role in chlorophyll production.

Benefits of Optima Leaf-Fe+

Delivers iron in an organically complexed form.

Ensures efficient uptake and translocation of iron.

Product approved for organic agriculture and horticulture in compliance with regulations EC 2018-848 & EC 2021-1165.
