Multimax is an foliar nutrient liquid that increases root growth, improves drought resistance and plays a key role in crop maturation.

THE ROLE OF POTASSIUM

• Increases root growth and improves drought resistance
• Maintains turgor, reduces water loss and wilting
• Aids in photosynthesis and food formation
• Enhances translocation of sugars & starch particularly during grain fill
• Produces grain rich in starch
• Increased protein content in plants
• Builds cellulose and reduces lodging
• Activates many enzyme systems
• Maximises N usage
• Reduces disease susceptibility

 

THE ROLE OF PHOSPHORUS

• Key role in crop maturation
• Very important in water relations along with Potassium, improved drought resistance
• Major role in energy relations and photosynthesis and therefore is vital at key growth stages
• Can increase the plants cold tolerance
• Involved with the overall health of the crop and resistance to environmental pressure. This gives improved plant nutrient health.
• Vital to maximise rooting
• Increased grain sites
• Improved rooting maximises nutrient uptake

 

NUTRIENT AVAILABILITY
There are many limitations to root and foliar uptake of both phosphate and potash

• Soil temperature
• Low soil oxygen levels e.g. increased water holding in the soil
• Low soil organic matter
• Soil texture and pH
• Other nutrient interactions
• Limited root volumes of major arable crops
