Optima Vigor+

Back to product overview

Many field crops, as well as field vegetables, will benefit from calcium during the growth phase. Optima Vigor+ contains a high concentration of calcium combined with nitrogen, magnesium, manganese and trace elements that are organically complexed. Leaf quality is improved and photosynthesis is optimised.

Optima Vigor+ was initially developed by Soiltech specifically for application in sugar beet cultivation to increase sugar yields. Calcium plays a crucial role in building cell walls and tissues. Magnesium, manganese and nitrogen are necessary for the formation of chlorophyll, which is essential for sugar production. After its success in sugar beet, Optima Vigor+ soon proved effective in other crops, such as potatoes, oilseed rape and field vegetables.

Functions of calcium

Provides strong cell walls.
Increases stress tolerance.

Functions of manganese

Acts as a catalyst, making all kinds of plant processes faster
and better.
Required for the production of chlorophyll and therefore important for photosynthesis.
Plays an important role in leaf vitality.

Advantages

Leaf quality is improved and photosynthesis is optimized.
Very highly concentrated product with a high concentration of calcium.
Contains organically complexed trace elements, so that the nutrients are better absorbed by the crop.
Easy to combine in the tank mix.
Very gentle on the crop.
