TechnologyOur MicroGo chelates make the difference in foliar nutrition!

Foliar fertilizer with micronutrients tailored to the needs of my crop

Unpredictable and extreme weather conditions are an increasing challenge to crop production. Prices for key nutrients have exploded. New regulations demand the reduction of fertilizers. But we want to harvest good quality, secure yields and remain profitable. Phytoplanta's approach to plant nutrition aims to better exploit the genetic potential of crops by a most efficient micronutrient formulation tailored to crop needs and growth stimulation in one.

Plants need micronutrients via the leaf to support them for optimum growth and yield formation when:
- root uptake is insufficient, e.g. due to soil moisture and pH value.
- peak requirements during mass growth and differentiation of the yield components are not covered

Micronutrients play a central role in the metabolism of plants and micronutrient applications are increasingly used as a fundamental strategy to achieve high crop yields. The amino acid glycine supports plants in the synthesis of chlorophyll and in the production of vegetative tissue, also under stress conditions. We offer both in one.

Foliar fertilization shortens the path to where the nutrients are needed. Foliar fertilization avoids interactions with other elements present in the soil that could hinder the absorption of micronutrients by the plant. Thus, foliar fertilization is also recommended for areas with unfavourable soil conditions, such as sandy soils or soils with acidic or alkaline pH values, when micronutrients in the soil are not available to the plant. In addition to essential plant nutrition, foliar fertilizers are an acute aid for correcting deficiency symptoms, especially during periods of rapid plant growth or in stressful situations when high levels of nutrients are required.

Green On – makes the difference by optimizing plant nutrition

Green On is the next generation foliar fertilizer that better exploits the genetic potential of your plants. The highly effective foliar fertilizer supplies the plant with fully water-soluble MicroGo chelates, in which the micronutrients manganese, zinc, copper or iron are bound together with the smallest amino acid glycine and a sulphur residue. MicroGo chelates are highly concentrated and completely water-soluble. This means that they can be easily applied together with plant protection products without additional application costs. Its pH-lowering effect further supports the efficacy of plant protection measures.

MicroGo – Technology that works

The MicroGo technology in Green On combines the amino acid glycine and the micronutrients manganese, zinc, copper or iron to form together chemically precisely definable molecules as stable chelates.
The key advantages of the MicroGo technology are small, stable and neutral molecules, which are easily and quickly absorbed through the leaves of the plant.
MicroGo chelates of our Green On products are produced in our factory located in Neuendettelsau, Germany. They are also known as glycinates and University research has revealed superior uptake and translocation of micronutrients from MicroGo chelates which triggers a greener, higher yielding crop.

The MicroGo chelates

are absorbed extremely fast via the leaf.
arrive exactly where they are needed for growth and yield formation.
are completely available to the plant.
are precisely formulated for critical growth stages.

Fast foliar absorption and translocation in the plant ensure a high concentration of precisely those nutrients that make the difference for intensive and healthy plant growth at certain growth stages. In contrast to synthetic chelates, all components of MicroGo chelates are used directly for the plant's metabolism and any product that ends up in the soil is either absorbed via roots or incorporated into microbial biomass without leaving any residue.

Green On products are precisely formulated to meet the different micronutrient requirements of the crop plants. This gives your crops more energy for growth, vigor and yield! The results are greener, higher yielding crops.

MicroGo chelates are absorbed 2 - 6 times better into the leaf tissue than conventional foliar fertilizers (e.g. EDTA chelates).

More energy for growth and yield formation through targeted promotion of chlorophyll formation and photosynthesis.

Green On ingredients arrive: the micronutrients (e.g. zinc) are translocated to where they are needed in the plant, right up to the grain.

Increased yield and quality in the field through improved nutrient efficiency.

The user-friendly application concept

User-friendliness starts with the packaging! All Green On products are supplied in packaging units of sachets (Green On Growth and Green On Yield) or in 250 g stand-up pouches (Green On Zinc).
The dust-free, water-soluble granules can be easily dosed by volume per rai e.g. using a measuring spoon. Information on exact and safe dosing can be found on the back of the Green On packages and online on the respective product page. Dissolve and put Green On products as first product in the backpack sprayer. Green On products are compatible with almost all common plant protection products and can easily be tank-mixed with pesticides.
Please use the usual protective equipment for plant protection during application. Simply dosed correctly!

Green On – mixes well in the spray tank

Green On products are excellently compatible with plants and can be mixed well with standard crop protection products.
For best miscibility, we recommend the usual sequence when adding mixing partners: Always add Green On products as the first mixing partner in the tank half-filled with water, with the agitator switched on and only add further products after complete dissolution.
