Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ๐ฑGrowth support: Designed to support crop production by helping the plant express its growth potential.
- โ๏ธMetabolic support: Helps stimulate normal plant metabolism, the processes that sustain plant growth.
- ๐ฆ๏ธStress support: Helps reduce the impact of stress on plant production; it does not replace irrigation or good crop management.
- ๐Crop-quality focus: Supports crop quality as well as yield potential, without promising a fixed increase in harvest.
- ๐Fits conventional spraying: The diluted product can be applied evenly over foliage using conventional spraying equipment.

How It Works
CropMax is made using a multi-stage fermentation process and supports plant functions rather than controlling insects, weeds or crop diseases.
- Fermentation-derived components: The blend includes fermentation metabolites, marine algae extracts, protein hydrolysates and complexed or chelated micronutrients.
- Support for plant metabolism: The product is intended to stimulate the plantโs metabolic processes and help it use its growth potential.
- Growth and stress response: This support can help reduce the impact of stress on production and contribute to crop yield and quality.
Responses depend on crop condition, weather and management. Continue the normal fertiliser and irrigation programme; a biostimulant is not a complete replacement for either.
