Plantmax
Plantmax’s concentrated form contains 21% amino acids and enzymes in a 20% fulvic acid solution.
Heightens grass vigour, colour and early sward density
Regulates growth in times of increased stress (close mowing, wet or dry/hot conditions)
Lifts uptake of potassium and calcium, whilst suppressing leaf ‘water’ build up.
Plantmax contains digested seaweed and food residue extracts full of oligosacchorides, amino acids, enzymes and fulvic acids + additional humic acid and casein protein for enhanced rhizosphere microbiology.
1. Spring to early Summer programme
Use Plantmax Spring to early Autumn ahead of stress periods to:
Regulate nutrient balance and water uptake within the plant
Stimulate photosynthesis and new leaf development
Promote root extension rather than leaf elongation
Application: 2, 3 or 4 treatments 21 days apart
20 to 30 litres/hectare (more is better with Plantmax)
In hot conditions 4 to 6 applications, 15 days apart at 10lts/ha.
2. Late season stress treatment
Use Plantmax late season (Autumn) to extend grass performance:
Provide complexed natural acids for grass density
Stimulate photosynthesis and extend colour
Application: 1 treatment at 20 to 30lts/ha
3. Liquid feed additive
Add Plantmax to liquid and soluble feeds to:
Decrease required liquid feed application rates by 20%
Increase foliar absorption and chelation of liquid foliar nutrients
Build in added plant growth regulators
Application: 10 litres/hectare
*Plantmax may be tank mixed with other nutrient materials
Application rate: 10-30 lts/ha
Dilution: 1:10+ litres water
Recommended Period of Use:
Spring to Autumn
Digested organic matter in PLANTMAX
The digestion process bio-converts vegetable and animal matter (food residue) into their plant value parts:
Minerals and vitamins – the bulk plant growth needs
Carbohydrates – (alginates) which are broken down into short chain oligosacchorides, a key to plant energy, development and disease immunity
Protein – which breaks down into amino acid plant building blocks and enzymes to assist plant utilisation of minerals and vitamins
Polyphenols – which break down into humic and fulvic acid links for plant nutrients
Phytohormones – Vegetable and animal matter contains a very small amount of Phytohormones. A digestate liquid extract would typically contain:
20–30ppm Auxins
2–10ppm Gibberrellins
20–30ppm Cytokinins
30–40ppm Ethylene
30–40ppm Bscicis Acid (ABA)
Whilst the Phytohormone content is beneficial, the majority of the benefit comes from the oligosacchorides, amino acids and humic acids content of the mix. The quality and quantity of these valuable materials will depend on the source and extraction process used.
“Plantmax helps maintain grass colour and sward density and allows us to reduce our total yearly nitrogen input.”
