Nutri-Phite® P+K is developed by the University of California at Riverside, Nutri-Phite® sets the standard in phosphite nutrition. It enhances nutrient uptake to improve plant health and vigor, resulting in better plant nutrition, higher fruit solid content and improved stand opportunity and emergence, leading to increased yield potential and production. Nutri-Phite’s patented organic acids help to slow the conversion – or oxidation – of PO3, making more phosphorus available to the plant and reducing the chances of phytotoxicity. By stabilizing the phosphorous acid phosphite molecule with a proprietary formulation that includes organic acid, Nutri-Phite inhibits reactions with other elements — particularly cations commonly found in tank mixes, such as zinc, iron and manganese — making Nutri-Phite stable in solution, a key advantage for tank-mix compatibility with micronutrients and pesticides. Studies have shown that compared to generic phosphites, Nutri-Phite causes less oxidation, one of the challenges in spray applications of phosphite.
