Description
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
