3 mineral fertilizers in a liquid and modern suspension form We present 5 mineral, foliar fertilizers in a traditional liquid form and innovative suspension form. What distinguishes them is: use of modern suspension formulation, which connects properties of crystalline and liquid fertilizers and it is easy in usage, precise fragmentation of all components to nano size, what affects on higher level of absorbed nutrients by plants, addition of the highest quality adjuvants, so substances which improve properties of the working fluid. Modern suspension formulation Suspension formulation is a new solution, which connects positive properties of crystalline and liquid fertilizers, for ex.: high concentration of nutrients (like in crystalline fertilizers), very good solubility (like liquid fertilizers), easy usage (like liquid fertilizers), possibility of use even after deficit symptoms. In result, the efficiency of treatments is much more higher, what affects on lower costs of fertilization. Fertilizers comparison Property mixing with plant protection products high concentration of components high protection of fertilizing crops addition of adjuvants solubility in hard water high working fluid stability chemically pure raw materials better storage conditions read more: Crystalline fertilizers Traditional liquid fertilizers liquid fertilizers suspension fertilizers Adjuvants +EDTA Antievaporators They protect the microdrops from evaporating before they reach the leaf surface. They ensure proper retrieval and better effectiveness of the treatment. Humectants (wetting agents) Reacts the dried formulation on the leaf surface. Through this, the absorption time is longer and assimilation is better. Adgesion agents Make optimum adhesion of the solution and prevent the surface from washing off during rain or spraying. Fertilizer losses are then kept to a minimum. Surfactants (surface active agents) They provide a uniform liquid distribution. Thanks to better leaf cover, better picking and better application efficiency as well as greater safety of use. EDTA chelation Has a positive effect on the absorption of nutrients. Optimizes the reaction fluid. It protects micronutrients from hard water reactions.

4 Innovative fertilizers nanotechnology Nanoparticle Nanoparticles are very small particles, which size reaches to 9 one hundred nanometers (1nm = 10 m). They have much better biological, chemical and physical properties, in comparison to particles used in a traditional fertilizers. 100 nm Distinguishes them: much better water solubility, much higher chemical activity, more efficient absorption by plants. Uniform fragmentation of all components affects on: Optimalized absorption macro and micronutrients Higher plant resistance Higher growth of plants mass Increased quality and quantity of yields Efficiency of VitaFer fertilizers VitaFer fertilizers can be used not only preventively, but also interventionally, when deficits are visible. It is possible thanks to a foliar application, which nowodays is one of the most modern and effective methods of plants fertilization with macro and micronutrients. Key nutrients not always can be absorbed by a root system, what is caused by: unfavorable weather conditions, common efficiences of macro and micronutrients in soils, poorly developed root system, too slow absorbtion of nutrients through the root systema, especially in phases of tillering and intensive growth. Foliar feeding, in contrast to soil treatments, allows to immediate regulation of macro and microelements deficits in plants. It stimulates the development of root system, what affects on higher level of absorbtion of nutrients from the soil. Effects of VitaFer fertilizers use increase of commercial value of yields (higher quality and quantity), welldeveloped root system of a plant, higher resistance on diseases and pests, higher tolerance on stress conditions (frost, drought, excessive soil moisture, ice storm, etc.).

Increases the integrity of plant cell walls, which improves plant strength and resistance. Stimulates key pathways in the plant, which produce compounds ( *Phytoalexins ) that are responsible for defending the plant against environmental stress including pathogens. Enhances the efficiency of all plant nutrients. Phytoalexins are defense substances with important antifungal properties which are produced by plants after infection. Phytoalexins are not existing in healthy plants.

44 BIOSTIMULANT WITH MACRO AND MICRONUTRIENTS Special nitrogen fertilizer with addition of phosphite with strong fungicidal properties 18% N + 3,16% PO5 (in PO3 form) + bacteria "Bacillus amyloliquefaciens" + unmodified rhizobacteria VitaFer BacPhos is a unique coformulation of the naturally occurring soil organism Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, an unmodified rhizobacteria, with phosphite. VitaFer BacPhos is applied as a soil amendment at planting. Treated plants are better able to compensate for stress from biotic (pathogens) and abiotic factors (e.g. salt, drought). The bacteria develop with the root system, stimulating growth and shielding it from attack by pathogens. Key advantages of VitaFer BacPhos Improved germination Improved root development Improved yield Earlier harvest Improved plant health Reduced disease intensity and frequency Number of Use rate treatments (l/ha) Time of application Fruit trees 34 1,5 After petal fall (BBCH 71), at 4 weeks' intervals Strawberries 67 0,5%* 67 1,5 56 Seedlings: dip roots and middle part of leaves for 150 minutes, Autumn: after harvest (the end of September), Foliar: 34 treatments before flowering (BBCH 5157), repeat 3 times till fruit start to get colors, Fertigation: 1 treatment till beginning of fruit colouring (BBCH 7579) Vegetables 34,5 Soil application: 1 treatment directly to seeds or directly to soil (potatoes) 1,5,0 which surrounds a seed (e.g. by special applicators) Foliar application: a few treatments from the beginning of growth, at 1014 days' intervals Grapevine 3 1,5 Before flowering (BBCH 53) till maturation of grapes (BBCH 79), at 114 days' intervals * water solution

45 Natural seaweed extract suspended in microelement solution enriched with natural growth hormones 3,08% N + 1,85% KO + 0,5% CaO +,54 SO3 + microelements + Ascophyllum Nodosum seaweed extract + natural growth hormones + amino acids + vitamins + iodine VitaFer Algi is extremely effective suspension of micronutrients and seaweed extract from the north sea (the best available on the market). Because of that it contains natural vitamins and growth hormones. Addition of mineral nutrients and adjuvant properties of the seaweeds increases effectiveness of pesticides, in the same time reducing stress of pesticide treatment or poor weather conditions like frost, hale or sun burns. BIOSTIMULANT WITH MACRO AND MICRONUTRIENTS Key advantages of VitaFer Algi Great efficiency guaranteed by high quality of seaweed Ascophyllum Nodosum extract and modern technology of mild extraction which preserves full activity of natural, biological substances, Can be applied by foliar or soil application as well as through watering systems, Stimulates plant biochemical processes and growth, Significantly increases development of advanced root system, Preparation of the crop for winter period, Regeneration capabilities of the plant supported and increased.
