Optima Root

Back to product overview

Optima Root is a special combination of nutrients, various biostimulants and trace elements that stimulate root growth and shoot development.

Function of the (nutrient) substances in Optima Root

Seaweeds are naturally rich in alginates and complex sugars, which makes them resistant to the extreme conditions of the sea. Optima Root thus supports crops during periods of stress.

The humic acids in Optima Root ensure that nutrients are better absorbed.

The nutrients in Optima Root are very important for root development. By applying Optima Root, you provide optimum support for root growth.

Instructions for use

Shake or stir well before use.
Store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight at 5°C to 25°C. Crystallization may occur below 5°C.
Due to residue formation, avoid foliar applications on visually attractive crops immediately prior to harvesting.
Attention: Do not mix with other products in pure, undiluted form. Not compatible with products that contain calcium and/or phosphate.
Optima Root is best applied early in the morning or in the evening to avoid strong sunlight. This minimises the risk of crop damage due to leaf burn. If the crop stays wet for longer, the nutrient uptake is improved. We recommend carrying out a trial application on a small area first, before applying to the entire plot.
The best before date is guaranteed if the product is stored according to these guidelines in the unopened original packaging.
