Instructions for use

  • Shake or stir well before use.
  • Store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight at 5°C to 25°C. Crystallization may occur below 5°C.
  • Due to residue formation, avoid foliar applications on visually attractive crops immediately prior to harvesting.
  • Attention: Do not mix with other products in pure, undiluted form. Not compatible with products that contain calcium and/or phosphate.
  • Optima Root is best applied early in the morning or in the evening to avoid strong sunlight. This minimises the risk of crop damage due to leaf burn. If the crop stays wet for longer, the nutrient uptake is improved. We recommend carrying out a trial application on a small area first, before applying to the entire plot.
  • The best before date is guaranteed if the product is stored according to these guidelines in the unopened original packaging.
