Cut Flowers
This large crop sector covers both field grown and flower crops grown under protection. Due to the huge plethora of species grown and regions of the world where flower production takes place, production come with many challenges.
The biggest medium to long term risk to production comes from climate change and water scarcity and quality plus other environmental pressures like soil degradation, permaculture issues, pest and pathogen pressure, and varied nutritional requirements
Engage have number of products to support the growing requirements of flower crops with environmental support products and products to limit the flower crop susceptibility to plant stress, infection from diseases and pest predation.

Aqualatus
Aqualatus is the world’s leading soil water saving technology with outstanding qualities to benefit soil water management, aggregation and growth. Its formula, unique to Engage, makes it an essential technology for the areas of the world where water availability is an issue.
Aqualatus’ unique formula is proven (300+ trials, over 12 years of data) to reduce water loss to crops by eradicating surface run off, dramatically reducing surface evaporation and slowing the natural gravitational movement of water. The saving of water loss means that water application to crops can be reduced by 40-60% without any loss of crop development, yield and quality.
Fortify Cu
Fortify Cu (7-16-0+1.5% Cu) is a unique formulation of nitrogen phosphorus, copper and halide ions which complement each other to support plant growth, support crop health and reduce yield loss. With programmed application Fortify Cu will aid vascular flow, support root growth, maintain established yield and reduce susceptibility to cereal disease infection.
MAS-Power Foliars
MAS-Power Foliars are unique nutrient formulations, containing both trace elements and Engage’s MAS technology designed to rapidly address specific nutrient requirements and stresses, during the crititcal growth stages of flower crops.
MAS-Power Foliars maximise foliar nutrient uptake and assimilation to allow application rates to be lower. MAS technology also Improve the metabolism of the flowers and will promote overall plant health and vigour. Each element within the MAS-Power Foliar range has a support pack designed to aid penetration, distribution and assimilation of that applied nutrient efficacy is always at its highest
Sentinel
Sentinel is a 10% targeted foliar Silicon is based upon the delivery of mono-silicic and salicylic acid to the crop. This is the only form of silicon plants will accept and its affects are highly beneficial to all cereals. Once applied it is stored by the plants help to build resilient cells which act as a physical barrier for the crop to help reduce both susceptibility to disease infection and predation from insect pests.
Pure-Mix
A range of high quality water soluble N:P:K, secondary and trace elements blends specifically created to meet the needs of irrigated crops using only the purest ingredients and blended to the highest standards for use in all irrigation types.
Pure-Mix offers a range of analysis to cater for all crops and all growing conditions and comes in two forms, standard nd water tuned (acid), to optimise soil and growing media pH and nutrient availability.
The Pure-Mix range is extensive with multiple standard/acid analyses bespoke analyses upon request and trace element mixes. All are created without the need for help in dissolution and come without dye unless required.
Bio-Chel Ca
The worlds most concentrated calcium chelate is completely organically formulated from a sustainable, renewable resource and is 100% pure available calcium.
Being 100% calcium and organic means its acceptance by plants could not be higher so application efficacy is ensured. Also due to the strong organic chelation of Bio-Chel Ca is non-reactive making is ideal for application within all nutrient and foliar plant protection products.
Bio-Chel also contains natural surface active compounds which breakdown surface tension of water allowing even distribution across the leaf surface removing the need for adjuvants in sprays where Bio-Chel Ca is used.
