Features & Benefits

Agrochemicals Features: Maximum Micronutrient Availability
Viscofol Technology: Manufactured to pesticide standards of quality

The foliar nutrition equivalent of pesticide SC

Finely milled particles give better leaf coverage

Better leaf coverage plus smaller particles gives better uptake by the crop

High nutrient loading

Super tank-mix ability

Stable with long shelf life
Stable & Rainfast: The finely milled particles give a uniform layer on the leaf, allowing a much increased surface area for absorption.

This uniform layer+ our unique adjuvant system gives faster uptake and allows the product to be rainfast within 30 minutes.
