Product Type
Phosphite fertilizer with zinc and manganese
PHIT MZ
Phosphite fertilizer with manganese and zinc for Mn-Zn deficiency correction, balanced phosphorus nutrition and support of natural plant defenses.
PHIT MZ is a soluble liquid phosphite fertilizer containing phosphorus, zinc and manganese. It is designed to supply Mn and Zn and to correct deficiencies or assimilation imbalances of these micronutrients in crops.
The formulation is rapidly incorporated into plant sap through roots, stems and leaves. The source also describes stimulation of phytoalexin-based self-defense mechanisms, helping reinforce trunks, crowns and roots while providing balanced phosphorus nutrition during vegetative development.

Key benefits and agronomic effects
- Corrects manganese and zinc deficiencies or assimilation imbalances.
- Provides balanced phosphorus nutrition throughout vegetative development.
- Supports natural self-defense mechanisms associated with phytoalexin production.
- Helps reinforce roots, crowns, trunks and stems.
- Offers rapid incorporation through roots, stems and leaves.
- Can be used foliarly, through the root zone, by immersion and as a trunk-painting treatment.
How it works / Technical advantages
PHIT MZ combines phosphites with manganese and zinc in a highly soluble liquid formulation. The source states that the product is rapidly incorporated into plant sap through roots, stems and leaves, and that adjuvants are not necessary for the recommended applications.
The technical document also attributes stimulation of phytoalexin-based self-defense mechanisms to the formulation and describes an inhibitory effect on the reproductive cycle of fungi, alongside its nutritional role in correcting Mn and Zn deficiencies.
Application rates and timing
Application Guidance: Use the crop- and method-specific programmes below. PHIT MZ is recommended for foliar and root-zone use; the source also provides immersion and trunk-painting applications. Adjuvants are stated as unnecessary.
Soil application
| Crops | Timing | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Citrus and fruit crops | Period of maximum vegetative development | 4-9 L/ha | Apply at the end of irrigation. Make 2 treatments at 7-9 day intervals. |
| Vegetables, strawberries and ornamental crops | Period of higher vegetative development | 4-9 L/ha | Apply at the end of irrigation. Make 2-5 applications at 7-10 day intervals. |
Foliar application
| Crops | Timing | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Citrus and fruit crops | Period of maximum vegetative development | 3-4 cc/L | Make 2 treatments at 7-9 day intervals. |
| Vegetables, strawberries and ornamental crops | Period of higher vegetative development | 3-4 cc/L | Make 2-5 applications at 7-10 day intervals. |
| Climbing vines and vines | Period of higher vegetative development | 1.5-3 cc/L |
Other applications
| Crops | Timing | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saplings and transplants: fruit trees, citrus, strawberries, vegetables and ornamentals | Before or at transplanting | 1.5 cc/L | Application method: Immersion treatment. |
| Affected trunks and branches | On affected areas | 500 cc/L | Application method: Trunk/branch painting and impregnation. |
Additional technical information
Target problem / deficiency symptoms
PHIT MZ is intended to correct manganese and zinc deficiencies or assimilation imbalances while supplying phosphorus. The source also positions the product for support of natural plant self-defense mechanisms and reinforcement of roots, crowns, trunks and stems.
Mixing & compatibility
Do not mix PHIT MZ with oils, copper compounds or products with an alkaline reaction. When combining with fungicides, insecticides, organic products or other agricultural inputs, perform a compatibility test before preparing the full mixture.
Precautions & storage
Use normal application precautions, including gloves and eye protection. If the product contacts the eyes or remains on the skin for a prolonged period, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water. In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical attention.
