Features
- Produced using the highest grade raw materials
- Small particle size
- Tank mixability with Flexi-N and pesticides
- Product concentration and stability
- Agronomic effectiveness and crop safety
- Can be banded in the soil or applied as a post-emergent foliar application
- StrataSol Zinc and StrataSol Zinc Manganese are also able to be applied as a seed dressing
Advantages
- Designed to give maximum flexibility
- Greater efficiency as trace elements allows you to vary your rate according to target soil types, production zones and paddock history
- Trace element program can be specially formulated through the use of plant testing to achieve maximum benefit for trace element expenditure
- Designed to be applied through liquid banding equipment
- Trace elements supplied through a liquid strem have significantly improved uptake compared to granular alternatives
Benefits
- Manufactured to ensure the particle size fits within strict product quality standards to maximise plant uptake by both roots and leaves
- Reduced hassle at seeding
- Improved cost management through superior nutrient targeting
- Improved crop yields through specific targeting of trace elements and improved trace element uptake
- Specifically formulated for application with Flexi-N to enable you to minimise the number of passes required over a paddock and avoid costly down time resulting from mixing issues
- Formulated to enable the highest loading of trace elements possible, while maintaining product stability to ensure the product can be mixed with other products and does not settle out in storage
- Oxides and carbonate forms of trace elements are generally recognised to have improved crop safety compared to other forms of trace elements, such as sulphates
Application
Seed Treatments:
Zinc is needed for early root development during crop establishment. Seed dressings of StrataSol Zinc and StrataSol Zinc Manganese are commonly used to supply zinc close to the roots to promote early crop establishment.
Soil (Banded) Applications:
As most trace elements are immobile in the soil, uptake by plant roots is dependant on roots intercepting the fertiliser particles in the soil. Liquid trace elements can be banded with
Flexi-N below the seed where plant roots are most likely to be active. A liquid band gives improved distribution or a greater number of active sites) and thus more effective uptake than granular trace element sources. Banding StrataSol products at seeding also provides insurance against yield losses that may arise before postemergent
foliar sprays.
Foliar Applications:
Foliar applications give you the ability to manage trace element supply in season after requirements are better understood (ie.'to play the season’). To ensure maximum uptake of foliar applied trace elements, it is particularly important to use a quality liquid product with small particle size, such as StrataSol. StrataSol products are formulated to allow growers to apply StrataSol with
Flexi-N, as well as a wide range of pesticides. Spraying with high water
rates (50-100L/ha) will improve help improve coverage over plant leaf surfaces and enhance uptake of the trace element.
Use it with
StrataSol was specifically formulated for application with CSBP Flexi-N due to the high quality raw materials used therefore less impurities are present than in other forms of liquid trace elements. StrataSol is also compatible with a wide range of commonly used pesticides, contact your local area manager to find out more.
