When to use Fortofol?
Use Fortofol during the early stages of plant growth and before/during situations of abiotic stress.
How does Fortofol work?
The fulvic acids in Fortofol increase the permeability of the cell membranes. This results in a better transportation of nutrients to the parts of the plant where they are needed. This means the plant can absorb and utilise the available nutrients more efficiently. This brings the photosynthetic cycle to a higher level and results in better growth.
