Alexin

Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium & Boron

A premium liquid carbohydrate chelated calcium, potassium, magnesium and boron nutrient complex containing salicylic acid for the promotion of plant health

w/v - Potassium salicylate 15.2g/L

w/v - Magnesium (Mg) 10.2g/L

w/v - Potassium (K) 83.0g/L

w/v - Calcium (Ca) 30.2g/L

w/v - Boron (B) 2.5g/L

Role of Potassium in the Plant

• Essential for enzyme activation
• Improves sugar levels and flavour
• Improves drought resistance and stress tolerance
• Increases resistance to disease
• Controls stomatal openings and influences transpirational activity

Role of Boron in the Plant:

• Encourages the uptake and movement of cation nutrients (K, Mg, Ca) within the plant
• Transports sugars through the plant
• Essential for seed, pollen development, seed set

Role of Calcium in the Plant:

• Cell division and cell wall strength
• Deficiencies cause cells to collapse resulting in internal disorders and retards terminal growth

Role of Magnesium in the Plant:

• Forms the nucleus of the chlorophyll molecule which promotes healthy green growth
• Aids the plant in increasing natural resistance to harmful environmental conditions (drought and disease)
