Products for Wine Grapes
Aqualatus
Aqualatus (also known as Integrate) is the leading soil surfactant formulation of four soil applied liquid polymers with outstanding qualities to benefit soils across the world so save water and optimise fruit tree nutrition. Its formula, unique to Engage, supports the maximum distribution of root applied nutrients to aid root functions and nutrient uptake.
Most importantly regular use of Aqualatus remove water runoff, suface evaporation and will slow the natural gravitational movement of water and nutrients including nitrates. These amazing qualities reduce the overall requirement of water and nutrients for soil grown crops. Proven in over 10 years of independent trials and commercial sales across the world, Aqualtus water and nutrient reduction has be been consistently 40-50% whilst maintaining optimal 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 tree health and reduce yield loss. With programmed application, Fortify Cu will aid vascular flow, support root growth, maximise copper transport within the tree.
Fortify Cu will support and maintain established yield and limit susceptibility to fruiting vegetable disease infections such as stem canker, wilts and root rots.
Bio-Chel Ca
One of the worlds most concentrated calcium chelate liquids, Bio-Chel Ca 10% CaO) is organically formulated from a sustainable, renewable resource and is 100% available calcium. Being pure calcium and organically chelated means calcium acceptance by Vine crops could not be higher, so efficacy is assured.
The strong organic chelation within Bio-Chel Ca is important as it makes the product non-reactive and therefore ideal for application within all nutrient and foliar plant protection sprays. Used regularly Bio-Chel Ca will optimise bud growth, flowering and fruit set and will deliver optimal levels of calcium to developing apples to ensure longer storage potential and no calcium related disorders.
Sion
The overuse of inorganic fertilisers and pesticides has massively reduced soil biology to the point where the need for silicon nutrition has been established. Plants only take up one specific form of silicon which is silicic acid. To address this Engage developed Sion. At 21% Silicon, Sion is highest available liquid silicon in the world and delivers silicon at such high levels its use rate is only required 0.25-1.0L per hectare. In Vines using Sion regularly will support the optimal growth to strengthen all plant tissues to reduce susceptibility to any stress and reduce susceptibility from pathogen infection, especially powdery mildew and reduce damage from insect predation. Most importantly it works in conjunction with calcium to ensure fruit flesh is dense and the skins develop optimal firmness.
VerdeNT
VerdeNT is a unique nitrogen and calcium formulation combined with Arm U advanced and MAS technologies specifically designed to fruit tree structure to enhance yield and quality. The nitrogen within VerdeNT is in amine form and slow released which for foliar use means its use by fruit trees is very different.
Unlike nitrate nitrogen foliar fertiliser VerdeNT does not stimulate auxin production which promotes longer, weaker internodes and extended growth which diverts calcium away from developing fruits. Bush habit is more compact and stronger to bear more fruit load and ensures continued calcium avilability to build stronger fruit.
MAS-Power Active Frost
Many vine crops are grown in regions of the world where, during flowering and set fruit, frost events often occur. Frost can be extremely damaging to vine fruit buds, flowers and young fruits and can cause damage or even failure in the formation of fruit, seriously effecting yield potential. MAS-Power Active Frost is a sophisticated blend of nutrients, amino acids and anti-stress compounds and is proven in three years of trials to reduce the damage frost events directly create in vine crop tissues and in managing the cold stress process to minimise fruit loss.
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 fruit tree growth and yield.
Cypher is designed to condition soils which have become compacted, overloaded in bonded salts or have a higher than optimal pH. Regular use of Cypher will help maintain aggregate stability, optimal pH and active soil microflora and will debond ‘locked up’ nutrients such as calcium and phosphorus to ensure vines can access the important nutrients they require at higher levels.
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 critical the cititcal growth stages of growth.
MAS-Power foliars maximise foliar nutrient uptake and assimilation to allow application rates to be lower yet just as effective. MAS technology also improves the metabolism of the tree and will promote overall tree health and vigour. Each element within the Mas Power foliar range has a support pack designed to aid penetration, distribution and assimilation to ensure nutrient efficacy is always at its highest.
Fortify Maxx
The latest edition to the Fortify Platform, Engage launch Fortify Maxx for 2023 and introduces a brand new technology, Phenophites. Fortify Maxx is a package of 3 chelated micronutrients and unique to Engage, plant extracts called ‘Phenophites’ taken from specific plant species naturally attuned to withstanding higher levels of abiotic and biotic stress. Used via irrigation or foliarly applied the nutritional/phenophite package works in combination to increase the natural production of phenolic compounds from secondary pathways to significantly limit a plants susceptibility to stress of any kind.
Unlike inorganic secondary pathway stimulants, Fortify Maxx does not create a residue as all the formulation is used by the growing crop.
