Fosto
Fosto is a liquid fertilizer suitable for usage during the entire vegetation of the plant. Phosphorus, Magnesium,
Zinc and Manganese fertilizer with amino acids has a complex effect on plants and soil. It is a source of energy, a connection between a plant and soil, water retention in a plant and soil.
Phosphorus is responsible for nutrient uptake, photosynthesis and energy metabolism, strengthening the immune system of a plant. Phosphorus pentoxide is effective against diseases caused by Oomycetes fungi (mold,
Phytium, Phytophthora). Phosphorus is energy, which is part of the phospholipids of cell membranes. It is especially important that there would not be a deficiency of phosphorus in plants in the early stages of growth.
Magnesium stimulates carbohydrate metabolism, accelerates maturation, and increases the amount of dry matter in the seeds. It decreases the efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers.
Manganese stimulates the development of the root system, formation of new shoots, sugar production in leaves and transportation to roots, improves the assimilation of iron from the soil and reduces the likelihood of chlorosis.
Zinc, like phosphorus and manganese, is essential at the beginning of vegetation. Zinc is an essential component of enzymes in photosynthesis, and is significant for grain formation. There is usually a lack of it in soil with a pH below 6.5 and when a pH is above 7.
Amino acids are essential for plant growth and development. They act as building blocks for proteins and affect various physiological processes. Formulating amino acids provides plants with an accessible source of these critical compounds. This promotes better nutrient absorption and stress tolerance, improving plant overall health.
ADVANTAGES:
- stimulates root development in the early stages of growth,
- stimulates the formation of root hair,
- affects the formation of productive stems,
- activates the synthesis of proteins, carbohydrates and fats,
- improves grain ripening and their hardness,
- improves the resistance of plants to adverse environmental
- conditions and diseases,
- stimulates photosynthesis, energy and metabolism,
- has an effective prevention of fungal diseases,
- plants grow healthier and stronger,
- accelerates maturation, and improves yield quality.

COMPATIBILITY
Fosto can be used in mixtures with many fertilizers and pesticides (insecticides, fungicides). Do not use with products containing high amounts of copper (Cu), sulphur (S), mineral oils and with alkaline products (pH > 8), with herbicides and with seed treatment where the label states “do not mix with fertilizers“. Before mixing it is recommended to make a small amount of the mixture in order to check whether there is no sediment. It is recommended to spray in a small area in order to check whether there are no phytotoxic effects on plants.
