Osmo-Regulator
FruitGuard
SEAWEED-BASED PLANT PROTECTION
FruitGuard is a formulated biostimulant and osmoprotectant based on fresh, wild-harvested seaweed. It provides crucial micronutrients and bioactive compounds for a healthy development and protects your fruit from splitting as a result of abiotic stress such as drought, salinity, and heat.
This carefully formulated product is suitable for conventional and organic farming operations that aim towards healthy crops and high yields through supply of important micronutrients, amino acids, and bioactive substances. Promote plant stress resilience during periods of drought, frost, salinity, and heat and prevent fruit splitting.
Suitable for foliar, soil and fertigation applications and can be used in conjunction with spray programs to reduce application passes.

NOTE:
Avoid applying in slow drying conditions, excessive heat, in combination or close proximity to copper fungicides or other mineral products such as Manganese Sulphate or Zinc Sulphate, and on crops at risk of fruit marking such as Kiwifruit or Apples when fruit is present. FruitGuard may enhance up-take of these materials and increase risk of fruit marking. Do not apply during flowering stage.
Mixing:
Suitable for all common sprayers and spray nozzles and is compatible with most standard crop protection treatments. Please see our mixing guide for further information.
