Brassicas
In a competitive market achieving optimal quality of field-grown brassicas is the key to success. Whether it is to maximise weight and uniformity or to support the important processes which underpin crop health, or limit the damage from harmful, growth restricting stresses.
Timing nutrients and ensuring there is optimal supply through key growth processes will ensure brassica crops are supported through periods of peak demand and during periods of elevated stress, whether it be abiotic pressure through adverse growing conditions or biotic pressure from pests or pathogens.
Engage has over a decade of experience in brassica nutrition across the world and has developed a number of innovative products aimed at targeting key periods to keep crops healthy, so growth is of the highest quality.
These products that will aid growers in growing quality brassicas, maximising a plants genetic potential and circumventing loss through stress to ultimately assist in uniform growth, optimising quality and minimising wastage.

Top products for Brassicas
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.
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.
MAS-Power B+Mo
MAS-Power B+Mo is a unique formulation of boron designed as a premium boron foliar nutrient which is highly plant available. The 15% boron plus Engage’s MAS technology ensure the high nutrient use efficiency. Molybdenum is delivered with the boron to ensure brassica crops are fully supported through the growing process, plus, the MAS technology addresses stress factors associated with brassicas to reduce yield loss potential from abiotic and biotic stress factors.
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.
MAS-Power KS
MAS-Power KS is a unique potassium and sulphur formulation designed for use as a premium foliar nutrient spray combined with Engage’s MAS Anti Stress, assimilation system. This advanced formulatio.n maximises efficacy of the formulation by aiding the penetration, distribution and assimilation of the potassium and sulphur by the plant. MAS also aids plant health and reinforces crop stress tolerance
VerdeNT
VerdeNT is a unique nitrogen and calcium formulation combined with Arm U advanced and MAS technologies specifically designed to manage crop structure to enhance yield and quality. The nitrogen within VerdeNT is slow released by the Arm U advanced technology which for foliar use means the nitrogen is absorbed as amine which makes its use by brassicas very different.
Unlike nitrate nitrogen foliar fertiliser VerdeNT does not stimulate auxin production which promotes softer growth and diverts calcium away from developing heads. Growth is more compact and stronger, calcium is used more efficiently to enhance leaf and head strength, leaf thickness and higher quality growth.
Cypher
Cypher is a modified organic acid blend derived from plant active portions of lignin and leonhardite ore. It comprises of 100% organic acids which unlock nutrient potential for increased cereal growth and yield. Cypher is designed to condition soils which have become compacted or overloaded in bonded salts. Regular use of Cypher will help maintain good aggregate stability, strong biomass and active soil microflora and will be-bond ‘locked up’ nutrients like calcium phosphorus and sulphur to ensure potatoes can uptake these important elements at higher levels.
