Spinach is particularly sensitive to saturated soil conditions.
Crop Stage | Products | Dosage | Method Of Application | Benefits |
---|---|---|---|---|
2-3 weeks after sowing | Geoxol (Liq.) | 10 ml per liter of water | Soil Drenching | Improves soil properties and promotes root development |
3-4 weeks after sowing | PeakMAX | 2 ml per liter of water | Foliar Application | Reduces disease pressure Rejuvenates plant growth quickly |
3-4 weeks after sowing | Nutrin Combo | 1 ml per liter of water | Foliar Application | Optimizing nutritional status |
2 weeks before harvesting | Silixol OSA WP | 2 g / ml per liter of water | Foliar Application | Improves quality of leaves , reduces incidence of abiotic stress |
Deficiency of Iron | Nutrin Fe 12% | 650 g / hectare / application, if soil Fe (less than 4.5 ppm),repeat application is recommended based on deficiency. Suitable for foliar sprays for crops grown on all types of soil. | Foliar spray | Corrects Iron deficiency |
Deficiency of Iron | Nutrin Fe EDDHA 6% | 2.5-5.0 kg / hectare / application, if soil Fe (less than 4.5 ppm),repeat application is recommended based on deficiency. Suitable for calcerous soils with pH above 7.5 | Soil application | Corrects Iron deficiency |
Deficiency of Boron | Nutrin Boron 20% | 650 g / hectare / application, if soil Fe (less than 25 ppm),repeat application is recommended based on deficiency | Foliar spray | Corrects Boron deficiency |
After 15-20 days of crop establishment | Mycoxol 4G | 500 g/hectare/application, if soil pH (less than or equal to 7.5) and availble P (more than 15 kg/ha) - if fertigation is available | Soil application | Reduces incidence of soil borne diseases, improves availability of phosphorous and other micronutrients |
After 15-20 days of crop establishment | Mycoxol Granules | 10-20 Kg/ha/application, depending upon soil properties - if crop is on flood irrigation | Soil application | Reduces incidence of soil borne diseases, improves availability of phosphorous and other micronutrients |
