PHIT MZ
Systemic Phosphite Nutrition with Manganese and Zinc for Stronger, Better-Protected Crops
PHIT MZ combines phosphorus with manganese and zinc in a readily available formulation suitable for both foliar and soil applications. The product is designed to correct or prevent nutritional deficiencies associated with insufficient uptake or imbalances of manganese and zinc—two micronutrients involved in photosynthesis, enzyme activity, chlorophyll formation and normal crop development.
Thanks to its high solubility, PHIT MZ is rapidly absorbed through leaves, stems and roots and incorporated into the plant’s sap flow. Its phosphite component also promotes the production of phytoalexins and other natural defence responses, strengthening the plant from the root system to the aerial tissues. The formulation is recommended for horticultural crops, fruit trees, citrus, vines, strawberries and ornamental plants.

Origin and Certifications
PHIT MZ is manufactured in Spain by TANGEL INV under strict quality standards intended to ensure consistent composition, solubility and agronomic performance across different crops.
The available technical datasheet does not specify a named third-party certification. Product registration, classification and permitted claims may vary by country, so users should always consult the locally approved label and applicable agricultural regulations before use.
Multi-Benefits
PHIT MZ offers a combined nutritional and crop-strengthening strategy. It supplies phosphorus, manganese and zinc, corrects micronutrient imbalances, encourages natural plant defence mechanisms and reinforces roots, crowns, trunks and branches.
Its systemic uptake allows the nutrients and phosphite fraction to move efficiently through plant tissues. This makes the product suitable for preventive nutrition programmes, periods of rapid vegetative growth and situations in which plants are exposed to conditions favourable to root, crown or foliar diseases.

Technical Advantages
Balanced Phosphite and Micronutrient Composition
The combination of phosphite phosphorus with manganese and zinc provides both macronutrient and micronutrient support. Phosphorus contributes to energy transfer, root activity and general crop development, while manganese and zinc participate in essential metabolic and enzymatic processes.
Rapid and Systemic Uptake
PHIT MZ has excellent solubility, facilitating rapid absorption through roots and aerial tissues. Once absorbed, the formulation is incorporated into the sap flow and distributed within the plant.
Natural Defence Activation
The phosphite fraction stimulates plant self-defence mechanisms, including phytoalexin production. This response helps strengthen tissues and improve the crop’s capacity to withstand biotic stress.
Flexible Application
The product can be used through foliar spraying, fertigation and soil application. It may also be used as a transplant immersion treatment or as a concentrated trunk-and-branch painting treatment where recommended.
No Adjuvant Normally Required
The datasheet indicates that an additional adjuvant is not necessary under normal application conditions, simplifying preparation of the spray or fertigation solution.

Features and Properties
PHIT MZ is a highly soluble liquid fertilizer formulated with 14.5% phosphorus expressed as P₂O₅, 5.0% zinc and 3.0% manganese, with a density of 1.3 g/cc at 20°C. Its phosphite-based composition is designed to provide phosphorus and correct manganese and zinc deficiencies or assimilation imbalances, supporting balanced nutrition and healthy vegetative development in a wide range of crops.
The product can be absorbed through roots, stems and leaves and rapidly incorporated into the plant’s sap flow. It is suitable for foliar spraying, soil application, fertigation, transplant immersion and professional trunk painting. PHIT MZ also stimulates natural defence mechanisms, including phytoalexin production, helping reinforce roots, crowns, trunks, stems and branches. It is recommended for citrus, fruit trees, vegetables, strawberries, vines and ornamental crops, and is available in 1 kg, 2 kg, 5 kg and 20 kg formats.
Recommended Crops and Timing of Application
Citrus and Fruit Trees
Apply PHIT MZ during periods of maximum vegetative development, particularly when the crop requires additional manganese and zinc or when environmental conditions increase pressure on roots, crowns or foliage. Two consecutive applications at intervals of seven to nine days are recommended in the technical sheet.
Vegetables
Use during active vegetative growth, after transplant establishment or when plants display symptoms consistent with manganese or zinc deficiency. Repeat applications may be integrated into the nutritional programme every seven to ten days.
Strawberries
Apply during periods of rapid canopy and root development. Foliar or root-zone treatments may be used according to the cultivation system and crop condition.
Grapevines and Climbing Vines
Foliar application is recommended during strong vegetative development. Ensure uniform canopy coverage and adjust the concentration according to the sensitivity and condition of the crop.
Ornamental Crops and Floriculture
PHIT MZ may be used to support balanced growth and correct manganese or zinc deficiencies in ornamental plants. It is particularly suitable during active growth and after periods of environmental stress.
Saplings and Transplants
Use as an immersion treatment immediately before transplanting fruit trees, citrus plants, strawberries, vegetables and ornamentals. The treatment is intended to provide early nutritional support around establishment.
Compatibility and Precautions
Do not mix PHIT MZ with oils, copper compounds or products with an alkaline reaction. When combining it with fungicides, insecticides, organic products or other agricultural inputs, conduct a small compatibility test before preparing the full tank mixture.
Use gloves and suitable eye protection when handling and applying the product. In case of eye contact or prolonged skin exposure, rinse the affected area thoroughly with clean water. In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical assistance and provide the product label or safety information to healthcare personnel.
FAQ
What is PHIT MZ used for?
PHIT MZ is used to supply phosphorus, manganese and zinc, correct nutritional deficiencies and stimulate the plant’s natural defence mechanisms. It is suitable for both foliar and root-zone applications.
Which nutrients does PHIT MZ contain?
The formulation contains 14.5% phosphorus expressed as P₂O₅, 5% zinc and 3% manganese, all expressed as weight by weight.
Can PHIT MZ correct manganese and zinc deficiencies?
Yes. It is specifically formulated to correct deficiencies or assimilation imbalances involving manganese and zinc. For the best result, the cause of the deficiency should also be investigated, including soil pH, root health, irrigation management and nutrient interactions.
Is PHIT MZ a systemic product?
The technical sheet describes rapid incorporation into the plant’s sap flow following absorption through roots, stems and leaves. This allows the formulation to act throughout the treated plant rather than only on the application surface.
Can it be applied through fertigation?
Yes. PHIT MZ can be applied through the irrigation system at a general rate of 4–9 L/ha. It should preferably be introduced towards the end of the irrigation cycle.
Does PHIT MZ require an adjuvant?
An adjuvant is not normally required according to the product datasheet. Water quality, crop characteristics and tank-mixture partners should nevertheless be considered before application.
Can PHIT MZ be mixed with copper?
No. The technical sheet advises against mixing PHIT MZ with copper compounds, oils or alkaline products.
Can it be mixed with fungicides or insecticides?
Potential mixtures should first be tested on a small scale to confirm physical and crop compatibility. Always follow the labels of every product included in the mixture.
Is PHIT MZ a fungicide?
The technical datasheet positions PHIT MZ as having fungicide-related action through phosphite nutrition and activation of plant self-defence. However, its legal classification and the disease-control claims that may be made depend on national registration. It should only be presented or used as a plant-protection product where that use is expressly authorized.
Which crops are recommended?
PHIT MZ is recommended for citrus, fruit trees, vegetables, strawberries, grapevines, climbing vines, ornamentals, floriculture crops, saplings and transplant material.
When should PHIT MZ be applied?
The most suitable timing is during active or maximum vegetative development, when micronutrient demand is high, or as part of a preventive crop-strengthening programme. Application timing should be adapted to crop stage, nutritional analysis and local agronomic conditions.
