How it works / Technical advantages
DEFENDER combines natural organic compounds of vegetable origin with complexed zinc, manganese and copper. This formulation is designed for easy translocation, helping distribute the active nutritional and elicitor components throughout the plant.
Its dual action supports crop nutrition while stimulating plant self-defense mechanisms. This makes DEFENDER suitable for preventive programs where stronger natural resistance and balanced micronutrient nutrition are required together.
Application rates and timing
Application Guidance: For foliar use, apply 200-400 cc per 100 L of water and wet the whole plant, including the trunk. As a preventive program, make 2-3 applications throughout the vegetative cycle. For trickle irrigation, dilute in water before application and follow the specific rates below.
