Bio 20 is a globally successful foliar fertiliser, boosting plant health, quality in yields in crops across the world. Numerous trials have supported it’s use in potatoes. The powerful foliar feed contains 20% Nitrogen, 20% Phosphorus and 20% Potassium plus a naturally occuring seaweed biostimulant and micro nutrition. Its crucial to maintain optimal levels of nutrition through the bulking phase to optimise tuber quantity, size and quality. During bulking, potato plants are more responsive to foliar application of key nutrients. Foliar nitrogen (N) and phosphate (P) will play an important role in tuber size and quality, Potassium (K) is in high demand and will improve dry matter content and yield, while nutrients such as sulphur and magnesium will help maintain tuber quality. All of these key nutrients for potato growth are available in high concentrations in Bio 20, giving the potato crop the boost it needs to maximise its potential. Bio 20 will also have the added benefit of helping the potato plant deal with abiotic stress (particularly dry, hot summer days) through the addition of highly effective seaweed biostimulants.   Bio 20 on potatoes trial OMEX
