| | If you love your plants, you’ll love ICL’s Universol range | |
| | Offering reliability and great value for money, this range has become the standard in ornamental water-soluble fertilisers for pot, bedding and container nursery stock. As the industry faces rising input cost, now more than ever, it is prudent to ensure nutrition programmes are carefully tailored to crops – delivering the right balance of nutrients for different growth phases. | |
| | Hard & soft water options
A simple and versatile range of powerful fertilisers, Universol products are tailored to every crop growth phase. Uniquely colour coded to make choice and application easy, each product contains a balanced NPK formula with Magnesium and trace elements. The range includes options for hard and soft water fertilisers helping to minimise water issues and deliver healthier plants and easier cultivation. | |
| | Eliminating errors
Some growers find manually calculating plant nutrition programmes for different crops and growth stages daunting. Saving precious management time while helping eliminate any errors in nutrient calculations, ICL’s precision nutrition AngelaWeb 3.0 software tool helps growers get it right - so optimising plant quality, while avoiding wastage.
| |
| | Costs are rising across all industries, with raw materials, transportation and factories all being affected. It is more important now to maximise the return on any investment made in a crop, this applies to fertiliser use too. Apply too little and plant quality suffers. Conversely, apply too much and money is wasted, the environment suffers and growers may even fall foul of the new water framework directive. | |
