* Start spraying with Marinure CalMag + B as early as possible to prevent and promote fruit quality & shelf life.
Calcium is also important for cell division that has a direct influence on the ultimate fruit size.
Marinure DS sprays are important for root development, top growth, stress relief (including heat, cold) of the crop and finally fruit size. Potassium, present in Nutrigro K is critical for fruit size.
