Fact Sheet 9-4-6  

Active Ingredients:    9-4-6 is a general purpose foliar fertiliser containing  9% Nitrogen, 4% Phosphorus and 6% Potassium in a w/w formulation.

It also contains 10 mineral trace elements in chelate form and depending on preference also contains either Seaweed (Ascophyllum nodusum), Potassium / Sodium Humate, or a mixture of both.

Purpose:  Quickly correct nutrient imbalances and increase photosynthesis.

Advantages/Benefits:

• 9-4-6 foliar nutrients are mobilised directly into plant leaves,  increasing the rate of photosynthesis.
• The readily-available nutrients are 10 - 100 times more easily utilised than soil applied fertiliser.
• Increases the availability of the major elements applied in solid form by stimulating root uptake.
• By far the most effective way to apply micro nutrients or trace elements.
• Used in conjunction with solid type fertiliser can correct deficiencies, strengthen weak or damaged crops, speed growth and grow better plants.
• Excess carbohydrate produced are excreted by the root hairs which stimulate microbial colonies on the root.
• Humic substances in 9-4-6 contains up to 5,000 calories per gram, and increases the protein and mineral contents of most crops.
• 9-4-6 chelating agents are true organic substances which break down into carbon dioxide and water, once their 'passenger' has been released.
• 9-4-6 foliar fertiliser has been researched for 4 years and field trialled for 2 years and gives outstanding results if used as intended.
• Contains a natural balance of major and minor nutrients, enzymes, amino acids and humate substances totalling over 60 elements.

Hints:

• Rates of application may change, but generally in the range of 10 - 15  litres per hectare.
• The most critical times to apply are during periods of great growth activity.
• Apply in sufficient water for good coverage preferably in early morning when humidity is up and leaves are wet.
• Always mix the spray thoroughly and apply in as fine a mist as possible.
• Take care to avoid leaf burning when spraying in direct sunlight.
• The use of a quality wetting agent, will prevent formation of droplets on the leaves.
• May be mixed with most common herbicides.
