HaifaStim™ Combat is an organic copper fertilizer combined with heptagluconic acid, a natural substance that helps keep copper in a form that plants can easily use.
HaifaStim™ Combat increases the crop’s physiological resistance, supporting the plant’s metabolic processes and photosynthesis. It is recommended to apply according to each crop’s needs, starting with the intense growth and nutrient requirements stages and increasing applications after adverse seasonal events and food deficiencies. We use it for both drip irrigation and foliar applications.
Benefits
Heptagluconic acid is a glucose derivative that allows complexes with divalent ions. Copper (Cu) combined with HGA stays stable in a wide pH range of 2-12, and plants easily take up the HGA molecule because it is small and moves around inside the plant. In short, it is the most efficient way to deliver this essential microelement to crops. The innovative formula of HaifaStim™ Combat contributes to effectively delivering crucial nutrients to crops.
- It helps photosynthesis and related processes increase resistance to abiotic stresses.
- It promotes lignification by stimulating the activity of phenol oxidase.
- It prevents copper deficiency by facilitating rapid translocation within plant tissues.
- HaifaStim™ Combat allows the plant to directly absorb nutrients, thereby preventing the leaching action caused by rainwater.
Copper fertilizer solution compounded with heptagluconic acid (HGA)
| Copper (Cu) water-soluble | 6.0% |
| Copper (Cu) in the form of HGA chelated complex | 6.0% |
Chemical Agent: Heptagluconic acid (HGA), a fully chelated complex. Copper (Cu) complexed with HGA has a practical stability range in aqueous pH 2-12 solution.
Suggested crops and dosages
