5L Manganese Liquid Fertiliser

This manganese (17.30%) 5 L product is a chelated liquid manganese feed for turf. Manganese plays a part in substances that drive a wide range of plant metabolic functions, so keeping levels sufficient helps grass cope with environmental stress and resist disease.

Key Features

• Contains 17.30% manganese (Mn)
• Adequate manganese levels raise tolerance to environmental stresses such as cold and drought
• Improves the plant's resistance to pathogen attack – in particular Take-all Patch (Gaeumannomyces graminis) – as part of an integrated turf management approach
• Chelated nutrient, protected from precipitation for more efficient uptake through roots and leaves

How to Use

• Half fill the sprayer with clean water, add the concentrate as required, then keep mixing thoroughly while topping up with the remaining water.
• Use a suitably calibrated sprayer and apply evenly, taking care not to overlap or miss areas.
• Irrigate the treated area thoroughly if no rain falls within 2 days of application.
• Do not apply during hot, dry weather or in frosty conditions.

What is a Chelate?

The word chelate (pronounced 'key-late') comes from the Greek χηλή (chele), meaning claw, because the chelating molecule wraps around the central molecule much like a lobster's claws. In practice, a chelating agent is an organic molecule that encapsulates a plant nutrient molecule and stops it from precipitating out, which would otherwise make the nutrient unavailable. The change in surface properties of the chelated molecule makes the encapsulated ions far more likely to be absorbed through the roots and leaf tissue, so the applied nutrient is used more efficiently.
