Growing Conditions<\/h2>\n

Growing during this time of year, with lower temperatures and less daylight hours, means ornamental<\/a> crops require extra attention.<\/p>\n

General feeding should still continue, but growers need to monitor watering levels, with a lower requirement needed during autumn\/winter. Having worked with growers over many years, at OMEX we understand the importance of foliar feeding during the colder months, as an essential tool in maintaining plant health and quality.<\/p>\n

The standard feeding programme at this time of year utilises the O-Mix soluble powder fertiliser range, particularly the 15-5-30 or the 20-8-20 range supplying the crop with the required ratios of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium \u2013 key to growing high quality plants.<\/p>\n

The power of bio products<\/h2>\n

Our biostimulant range of products, such as Bio 18<\/a>, Bio 20<\/a> and Kelpak<\/a>, have been tailored to deliver the most effective levels of nutrition the crop needs whilst supplying a growth boosting biostimulant.<\/p>\n

Bio 20<\/a> used at 1-2 ml per litre of water can be applied alongside agrochemicals to reduce water use and maximise efficiency within the spray programme.<\/p>\n

Bio 20<\/a> and Bio 18<\/a>+Fe, which has a high iron inclusion rate of 3%\/L (w\/v), are superb at retaining greenery, and keeping root growth at optimum levels thanks to the inclusion of the seaweed based Kelpak biostimulant.<\/p>\n

The OMEX biostimulant product range contains a high level of Trace Elements, which are key in maintaining balanced plant growth.<\/p>\n
