Funrex

Corrects copper, manganese and zinc deficiencies and makes plants disease-resistant.

What it's for: Solution of copper (2.8%), manganese and zinc complexed with heptagluconic acid. Being a natural sugar derivative it is metabolised quickly, whether by leaf or root. The complexing agent keeps the metal ions from reacting with the soil, even on acid or calcareous ground.

Best for: Crops short of copper, manganese or zinc, and as a defence boost during a risk period.

When to apply: On detecting a deficiency, or preventively during the cycle.

How often: Every 15 days, minimum 2 treatments.

Dose: Foliar spray 2 ml/l (curative) or 1 ml/l (preventive).

How to apply: Spray at the end of the day or at dawn, avoiding high temperatures.

Worth knowing: Results visible 10-12 days after application. Highly soluble — it will not clog drip irrigation.
