Features & Benefits

Performance

Chelates are complex compounds in which the appropriate organic compound is tied to a metal ion.

L-Actipol EDTA Co-4 means:

• Fully chelated cobalt,
• Immediate availability of cobalt to plants,
• Perfect solubility,
• Stability over a broad range of pH,
• Full dose of cobalt for the plant.

Do not exceed the dose of 2.8 ml of L-Actipol EDTA Co-4 per 1 liter of water

Preparation of Working Solution

Apply separately or jointly with urea, magnesium sulfate monohydrate, or plant protection agent.

Directly before the spraying, fill up the sprayer with water up to 2/3 of the capacity and turn the mixer on; add in the order specified: urea, monohydrate magnesium sulfate, L-Actipol EDTA Co-4, plant protection agent according to appli-cation instruction (if envisaged and recommended for mixing by the manufacturer), adjuvant; fill up with water and start spraying. Do not exceed the recommended doses of L-Actipol EDTA Co-4.

Technical Details & Test Data

Cobalt and Its Significance

Cobalt is a component of vitamin B12 and remains indispensible in the process of nitrogen bonding in the plant. With appropriate supplies of water and nutrients, application of the cobalt chelate has direct impact on the growth and metabolism of plants at different development stages. It improves the protein content in the plant and increases the yield of root plants.

Consequences of Cobalt Deficiency

•    Disrupted speed of formation of root papillae (legumes), which impairs the intensity of nitrogen bonding.
