Nutri-Key Manganese Shuttle™

Timing is the trick with trace mineral applications. Manganese is a reproduction booster and timing should reflect that feature.

Manganese is often termed the seed energiser and it is an important element for seed germination and seed formation. Manganese Shuttle™ offers chelated manganese in a balanced formulation which covers the full spectrum of 'background nutrition'.

Packaging.

  • 1 litre (1.61kg), 5 litres (7.9kg), 20 litres (32kg), 200 litres (328kg), 1000 litres (1605kg).

Information:

  • Provides high-analyis, cost-effective manganese correction.
  • Delivers all of the standard Shuttle benefits, including microbial stimulation.

The Functions of Manganese

  • Often called the element of life. It electrically charges the seed, enabling the subsequent magnetic attraction of other elements into the seed.
  • Accelerates and improves germination.
  • Required for chlorophyll production.
  • It is a critical enzyme activator.
  • Essential for carbohydrate and nitrogen metabolism.
  • Accelerates maturity.
  • Participates in the oxygen evolving system of photosynthesis.
  • Required for optimal seed formation in all crops.
