Indiactive HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUIDS
IndiActive liquids are based on proven technology which has been used in foliar fertilisation of agricultural and horticultural crops for over 10 years. These advanced formulations are able to rapidly penetrate the leaf and quickly alleviate deficiency symptoms. Because of their efficiency, relatively low amounts of nutrients are required to achieve the same effects as unformulated products and the interval between repeat sprays can be extended.

IndiActive - The Complete Formulation
The Complete formulation has to take into account the factors listed below. When recommending a particular product or making comparisons between products, assessments of how they satisfy these factors should be made.
- Long term storage stability
- Compatibility with other products in the sprayer
- Ability to cover the leaf surface, adhesion and rainfastness
- Cuticle penetration and leaf uptake
- Mobility and translocation within the plant
In order to satisfy the above criteria a number of individual surfactants and surfactant systems have to be developed and proved in practice. These adjuvants, along with other additives for buffering spraying water pH and removing unwanted ions from hard water, ensure optimal technical performance in the field.
Long term storage stability
IndiActive Formulations are manufactured using a specifically selected high grade of inorganic salts which is very low in impurities. During the manufacturing process the liquefied raw material is allowed to settle for 24 hours and is passed through a fine filter, so reducing any remaining impurities to a minimum.
Mixing, miscibility or dissolution in spray water
The IndiActive formulations are very “heavy” with a specific gravity often over 1.35 due to the high amounts of other formulants in the product. The can should be shaken well, as there can be some settling of the formulants. However once they have been added to the spray tank they are 100% soluble in the water. Within the formulation the is an acidifying component which not only helps with the mixing and compatibility but also nutrient uptake.
Compatibility with other products in the sprayer
The complexing agents within the formulation ensure that the ‘nutrient’ element is protected from adverse chemical reactions with any pesticides which may be added to the tank mix
Coverage of the leaf surface and adhesion
Carefully chosen surfactants reduce the surface tension of the spray droplet allowing for optimum spread and contact with the leaf surface, whilst at the same time giving a degree of rainfastness.
Uptake
The efficiency of uptake of many nutrient elements is enhanced by an acidic solution and where possible, all IndiActive formulations are buffered to take account of this. The spreading action of the surfactants allows uptake though the cuticle of the leaf and does not limit penetration to the stomata.

Translocation
Whilst most major nutrients are fairly mobile within the plant, micronutrients are inherently difficult to move around the plant away from the point off application. The addition of specific humic acids aid in the translocation of these nutrients.

Use with Pesticides
These fully formulated products exhibit excellent compatibility with a full range of pesticides particularly in complex multi-product mixes. The formulants within the Indiplex range also ensure that the efficacy of particular actives is maintained particularly when spraying conditions are difficult due to cold weather. These increases in yield are often found in the absence of nutrient deficiency
