Nutri-Key Shuttle Seven™

Complete coverage in chelated form - 7 macros and 7 micros - the ultimate in liquid mineral management.

A balanced blend of chelated trace elements featuring the revolutionary sequester/chelator- Shuttle™. High concentrations of seven micronutrients are supported by seven major elements, saponins and fulvic acid which add a further growth-enhancing dimension to an exceptional liquid fertiliser.
The Shuttle™ Story:

The Shuttle™ system, developed by South African industrial chemist, David Menne, is a major breakthrough in chelation nutrition. In conventional chelation chemistry, agents like EDTA or Ligno-Sulphonates carry the desired trace element through the outer cell walls into the plant. By contrast, the Shuttle™ system involves much more than a one-way journey, and the chelator never actually enters the plant. A suite of natural, polysaccharide-based agents are utilised in a two-step process where the selected elements are sequestered (held in reserve) in structures called nano-clusters. A shuttle ligand chelator then transports the nutrients to the plant surface where it docks and unloads its cargo before returning to the pool of sequestered clusters to repeat the exercise again and again. The net effect is a greatly enhanced uptake of the applied nutrients.

Information:

  • Sequesters, chelates and delivers more nutrition than previously possible.
  • Small molecular size increases chelation speed.
  • Reduced stability problems.
  • In soil situations, Shuttle™ can continue to operate beyond the original quantity dosed, complexing and converting other dormant cations into useable plant foods (especially in soils with low microbial activity).
  • Also serves as a carbohydrate-based microbial stimulant.

Note: trace element supplementation will be most beneficial in the following conditions:

  • Poor soils deficient in micro-nutrients. Light soils with low storage capacity. High pH soils where trace element availability is reduced. Low pH soils where trace element availability is reduced. In high-yielding crops, which require maximum nutrition.
  • When lock-ups in the soil hinder nutrient uptake.
  • All of the Shuttle™ range including the Shuttle Seven™ contain background nutrients to avoid the problems which can occur when the correction of one shortage triggers other shortage due to the antagonistic effect of trace elements.
  • A completely natural product (but not certified organic).
