Wood vinegar:

  • Improves abiotic stress tolerance to salinity and drought.
  • Stimulates growth by improving absorption through roots.
  • Supports nutrient uptake & prolongs the shelf life.
  • Enhances soil conditions for greater root mass.
  • Improves efficiency of applied fertilizers.
  • Increases tolerance to sodium (Na).
  • Increases nutrient use efficiency.

Please Note:

  • Wood vinegar should not be considered as a stand-alone direct replacement for other fertilizers. It is more beneficial to use wood vinegar as an “enhancer and penetrant.” This will improve the uptakes of other existing fertilizers and thus reduce the doses.
  • Wood Vinegar increases penetration and improves plant uptake, which ultimately reduces the volume of the existing agrochemical. 
  • Relying solely on wood vinegar can improve potential uptake and deliver better results than using existing agrochemicals alone at a lower cost.
  • It is recommended to use wood vinegar alone as a stimulant for seed germination to increase the strike rate in a short time.
  • Regular and longer-term use show proven signs of much-improved plant health and the ability to protect themselves naturally.

Product Usage Notice:

  • Overdose can cause crop injury ranging from minimal to complete crop loss or plant kill.
  • When applying, try to reach a correct balance to achieve the desired outcomes.
  • Spraying is recommended to be done in the early morning or late afternoon.
  • Recommended to be applied before or after flowering.
  • Must not be used or mixed with alkaline chemicals.
  • Do not store any wood vinegar after dilution.
  • Store in a cool and dry place.
