Saltex Plus
is a liquid fertiliser based on a concentrated salt solution, containing sodium chloride and a powerful wetting agent.For many years, Dendritic Salt was used for foliar application on sugar beet along with a non-ionic wetting agent. The crystals of salt in the product were elongated and this made the product easier to dissolve than conventional fine salt. Effective mixing of the product in the sprayer remained a problem, however, and excessive pump wear and incomplete dissolving were major problems. Saltex Plus overcomes these mixing problems and is conveniently supplied in bulk.

Saltex Plus is applied undiluted through conventional sprayers. Apply 1123 litres/ha (100 gallons/ac) of undiluted Saltex Plus. The application should be split into 2 doses of 562 litres/ha up until mid/late June or made as a single dose for later applications.
Weather Conditions
