Description

Photo-Finish™

Silica is the cell-strengthener that can harden the cell walls, making the leaf tissue less palatable to herbivorous insects.

A multidimensional foliar fertiliser that features the cell-strengthening and brix-building benefits of silicon – the neglected nutrient. Photo-Finish™ also includes kelp and humic acid, and supplies a significant potassium boost.

Benefits

• • • – Australian Certified Organic (ACO) Registered Farm
      Input 456AI.
    • – Promotes more efficient photosynthesis, increasing
      sugar and mineral levels (brix) in all plants,
      particularly orchard and vine crops.
    • – Produces an armour-like protective layer in the outer
      cell wall, which can :
    • 1.  Prevent lodging in cereal crops.
    • 2. Aid in the recovery of previously affected pathogen
      damaged plants.
    • 3. Minimise the effects of manganese, aluminium and
      sodium toxicities.
    • 4. Improve plant growth, lifting yield and quality.
    • 5. Enhance reproduction, improve pollination and
      increase pollen fertility.

Application Rates

Foliar Spray :

Vegetables : 0.5 L per 100 L water up to 3 L/ha equivalent
Apply every 2 weeks or as required

Orchards & Vineyards : 0.5 L per 100 L water up to 5 L/ha equivalent
Apply every 4 weeks or as required

Ornamentals & Turf : 0.5 L per 100 L water up to 3 L/ha equivalent
Apply every 4 weeks or as required

Spot-Spraying : 25 mL per 10 L water
Apply as required

Important

– Do not spray during flowering.

– Avoid spraying close to harvest if produce is
susceptible to staining.

– Not compatible with acidic inputs. Photo-Finish™ is
very alkaline and recommended rates should never be
exceeded to avoid possible plant damage.

– As silicon is not readily transported within the plant
more than one application will be required per season
to ensure the full benefits.

Instructions

Shake or stir well before use. Where higher water rates
are required for good foliar coverage, do not exceed
maximum product rate per hectare. Sensitive foliage
or plants should be test sprayed prior to full scale
application. Frequencies are a guideline only and
can be adjusted according to farm practices and/or
in conjunction with crop monitoring. Ensure suitable
spray conditions (e.g. temperature, humidity, windspeed),
prior to foliar application. Compatibility and/or
performance cannot be guaranteed when combined with
other products. Jar test for compatibility and spray test
on small area before wide-spread use.

Storage & Handling

– Read safety directions before use.

– Store in a cool dry area out of direct sunlight. This
product has been tested to store safely down to 5ºC.
Crystallisation or sedimentation may occur below 5ºC.

– Do not pre-mix or store in diluted form. Seal lid/cap
immediately after use.
