Derived from phosphorous acid, more commonly known as phosphite, these formulations are extremely soluble and readily absorbed via the roots and foliar tissue. Phosphites chemically heighten a crop’s resistance to stress by triggering the plants own immune system, increasing a plants metabolism, stimulating root development and plant vigor for healthier more productive crops. Studies have shown phosphites enhance the activity of fungicides when jointly applied. Phosphites have also been shown to increase the utilization of other nutrients when mixed and applied together as a supplement to a well- balanced fertilizer program. FORTI-PHITE 0-28-26 contains 4.08 pounds of phosphorous acid per gallon and has a low use rate of 1-4 pints per acre. FORTI-PHITE FORTI-PHITE 0-28-26 is an excellent tank mix partner with PHOSPHITES: most known agricultural products. • Increase metabolism • Increase stress resistance FORTI-PHITE 2-40-16 contains 5.84 pounds of phosphorous • Increase nutrient utilization acid per gallon and has a low use rate of 1-4 pints per acre. • Increase plant immune defenses FORTI-PHITE 2-40-16 is a more concentrated solution APPLICATIONS: of phosphite designed to maximize the phosphorous acid • Foliar application delivery to the plant. • Soil Application • Low use rates Phosphites increase plant energy reserves, defense responses and help plants perform at a higher metabolic level, consequently increasing crop production and health.
