MÆRIT^®

• Increased root mass
• Improved plant health
• Increased plant vigour
• Increase stress resistance
• Improved nutrient uptake
• Increased yield potential

MÆRIT^® is a natural biostimulant for use in all crops to maximise plant growth and enhance uptake of water, fertiliser and micronutrients from growing media or soil.

By encouraging stronger root systems and more effective symbiotic relationships with rhizosphere biology, the plant's nutrient gathering abilities are enhanced. As a result, plants make more effective and economic use of all available and locked up resources reducing dependence on applied fertilisers.

Incorporating MÆRIT^® in the crop management plan will:

• Aid the rapid establishment of all crops
• Maximise root development, enhancing nutrient uptake and utilisation
• Encourage the development of strong plant structures
• Reduce crop stress
• Maintain green leaf retention to maximise crop potential

 

TIMING

The timing of MÆRIT^® usually relates to important stages in the plant's development. Correct timing, particularly at the early stages, maximizes the benefits of MÆRIT^®.

 

CROP ESTABLISHMENT

MÆRIT^® applied early in a crop's life will encourage root development, improved nutrient uptake, increased nitrogen efficiency and better establishment.

 

STRESS

Stressed and backward crops can benefit from an application of MÆRIT^® at any time during the growing season. By stimulating the development of the plants root system MÆRIT^® encourages plants overcome check by improving access to nutrients and moisture in the soil.

 

FILTRATION

Filters must be no finer than 100 mesh throughout.

 

COMPATIBILITY

MÆRIT^® is compatible with most products and for convenience they are often applied together.

DO NOT mix MAERIT^® and other products where instructions advise that the different products applied may not be used with stickers, welters or any other adjuvants. Adhere to recommended spray intervals when spraying in sequence.

 

DILUTION INSTRUCTIONS

In general, use more water rather than less, however, MÆRIT^® is quite suited to low volume sprayers. When mixing, half fill the tank with water, commence agitation and add MÆRIT^® . Continue to agitate whilst adding remainder of water and spray chemicals.

 

NON-HAZARDOUS

MÆRIT^® is wholly derived from natural Ascophyllum marine plants and is manufactured with a low heat low pressure process that preserves product activity. The product supplied in this sealed container, when used as instructed, is bio-degradable, non-toxic, non-polluting and non­hazardous to humans, animals, birds or plants.

 

ORGANIC STANDARDS

MÆRIT^® complies with Approved Organic Standards and should be used in accordance with the requirements of the certifying body.

 

STORAGE

Must be stored in a dry, frost free store.
