Berkshire, England: Not all liquids are true foliar feeds. One of the key benefits of a true foliar feed is that the nutrients are absorbed through the leaf of the plant and by-pass the root system, even in high stress conditions.

This not only maximises nutrient uptake, but also reduces leaching of nutrients into the environment, unlike conventional liquid fertilisers.

“Solar foliar feeds penetrate the epidermis and transcuticular pores on the foliage which are open virtually all the time compared to stomata,” said Brian Croose, ASEAN Regional Manager at Indigrow, a Full Business Member of the Asian Golf Industry Federation.

The Indigrow Solar range of activated foliar feeds has been developed to include proprietary complexing agents, surfactants and other formulation aids to provide enhanced uptake and utilisation whilst reducing leaching and volatilisation.

The range uses a blend of organic acids, carbohydrates, and other natural organic formulants to achieve optimum leaf uptake and nutrient translocation.

Among other major benefits to using Indigrow Solar foliar feeds are:

• Nutrients taken up by the leaf
• Minimal nutrient leaching
• Reduce salt build up in the rootzone
• Added surfactants for improved nutrient uptake.
