Functions and action of Ferti-Vital

Ferti-Vital reduces the impact of stress. Its use does not increase yield but prevents yield loss. Ferti-Vital improves plant resistance to abiotic and biotic stress.

  • Biotic stress: insects, fungi, bacteria, etc.
  • A-biotic stress: heat, drought, cold, wet conditions, hail, wind, mechanical damage by machinery.

It turns on the plant's defense mechanism, stimulates production of amino acids by the plant itself and increases its resistance to diseases, pests, drought and damage, etc..

After a herbicide spray, the photosynthesis activity of a crop drops dramatically and it can take up to 7 to 10 days for a crop to recover and reach its previous level. This means growth retardation and yield loss. By adding Ferti-Vital to the herbicide mix, the crop is much less sensitive to the adverse effects of herbicide spraying and the plant recovers much faster. Sometimes even within one to two days. The crop thus gains 5 to 8 days of growth!

The same applies to damage caused by hail, extreme rainfall or cold stress. By spraying the plant with Ferti-Vital, the crop recovers faster and easier from the damage suffered.

Adding Ferti-Vital to every spraying (1 ltr/ha), gives a more resilient plant and helps to grow resilient crops. Another option is to spray 2 ltr/ha of Ferti-Vital once every 2 to 3 weeks in combination with an N-xt foliar fertilizer. Both products, Ferti-Vital and the N-xt foliar fertilizer, reinforce each other's effect. It thereby contributes substantially to a healthy crop with fruitful results.

Key features and benefits at a glance:

  • Efficient and rapid absorption of the entire biostimulant through the leaf

  • Consists of a blend of trace, 100% plant L-amino acids, seaweed and plant extracts

  • Activates enzymes in the plant and soil

  • Increases the resilience of all crops

  • Limits phytotox from (disease) sprays on the crop

Experiences in practice

Onion grower from Zeeland

"Ferti-Vital does work well! When I normally spray Starane in the onions I always see that the onions lie flat and curl for 2 or 3 days. Now with 2 ltr of Ferti-Vital added to the herbicide spray I see they stay upright nicely."

Contractor from Friesland

"Thanks to the addition of Ferti-Vital to the herbicide mix, I can reduce herbicide use in corn by 10-15%. This has no visible negative effect on weed control, but a positive effect on yield and crop health. Starch content is higher with the application of Ferti-Vital to the herbicide mix. Thanks to lower herbicide use, spraying costs are not higher, but the yield is better."

Recommended dosages of Ferti-Vital

Ferti-Vital can actually be sprayed in all crops. This can be done as a separate spray, but it also has great advantages as an addition in a mix of herbicides, fungicides and foliar fertilizers.

Application

Dosage

Single application (cold stress) 2 to 3 ltr/ha
In mixture herbicides/fungicides 2 ltr/ha
Weekly with N-xt foliar fertilizer 1 to 1.5 ltr/ha

Ferti-Vital for cold stress in winter cereals

(right treated 2 ltr/ha - left untreated)
