Get manganese where it’s needed quickly

Optima Leaf-Mn+ is a liquid foliar-fertiliser based on manganese that has been 100% complexed with hepta gluconic acid (HGA). Manganese deficiency is often common at high pH levels in the soil. Treating the soil with manganese is not effective in this case. There is often sufficient manganese, but its uptake is impossible. In this case, the only effective treatment is foliar treatment. Manganese is an important trace element that is essential for the formation of chloroplasts.

Benefits of Optima Leaf-Mn+

Delivers manganese in an organically complexed form.

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