Plant Stimulants
It is well known that environmentally stressed plants are more susceptible to pest and disease attack. Regular use of plant stimulants help stimulate root growth, foliage development and crop production, making the crop less susceptible to environmental stress caused by heat and evaporation loss.

OMEX DP98
Liquid Foliar Feed (Phosphite)
Phosphorous is a critical element for plant health influencing many of the plants vital functions.
However, even when no distinctive deficiency symptoms are present crop yield losses can still occur, a condition referred to as "hidden hunger." Plants suffering from hidden hunger will be less efficient at utilising available water, be more susceptible to yield- and quality-depressing diseases, take longer to mature, be more susceptible to cold temperatures and have lower nutritional values.
DP98 is a totally new source of phosphorous for plants. Sometimes referred to as 'biologically active', the phosphorous source is based on phosphite (PO3 ), which is more easily absorbed and utilised by plants than conventional phosphate (PO4).
Benefits
- Improved uptake of cations (such as Ca, Mg and Mn)
- Increased cation mobility within the plant
- Stimulates plant phytoalexin production
- Promotes plant health
- Increased effectiveness of calcium based feeds when used at the same time
Nutritional data
Nitrogen 4.0 %
Phosphate P 2 O 5 28 % (141 g/L as phosphite)
Potassium 13 %
DP98 is suitable for a wide range of horticultural and arable crops including soft fruit, field vegetables, salad crops, arable crops.
