Photo Finish™

Silica is the cell-strengthener that can harden the cell walls, making the leaf surface less attractive to insects.

A multidimensional foliar fertiliser which features the cell-strengthening and brix-building benefits of silicon - the neglected nutrient. Photo Finish™ also includes kelp, humic acid, fulvic acid, selected trace elements and several growth stimulating plant extracts. The product also provides a significant potassium boost.

Packaging.

  • 1 litre, (1.31kg), 5 litres (6.43kg), 20 litres (26.21kg), 200 litres (266kg).
    Weight per volume: 1.25

Information:

  • Promotes more efficient photosynthesis, increasing sugar and mineral levels (brix) in all plants, particularly orchard and vine crops.
  • Produces an armour-like protective layer in the outer cell wall which can:
    - prevent lodging in cereal crops,
    - reduce the palatability of the leaf surface,
    - aid in the recovery of pathogen damaged plants,
    - minimise the effects of manganese, aluminium and sodium toxicities,
    - improve plant growth, lifting yield and quality,
    - enhance reproduction improving pollination and increasing pollen fertility.

Application Rates:

  • Foliar Small crops: 3 - 5 litres per hectare.
    Orchards: 5 - 7 litres per hectare.
    Grapes: 5 litres per hectare.
    Broadacre: 2 - 3 litres per hectare in 70 - 100 litres water per hectare.
  • Dilution rate: Minimum 1:100

Note:

  • As silicon is not readily transported within the plant more than one application will be required per season to ensure the full benefits.
  • This dense liquid is particularly heavy and should be handled with care to avoid back injury.
  • Photo Finish™ is very alkaline and recommended rates should never be exceeded to avoid possible plant damage.
