Hortifeeds products

HortiFlush aids in the removal of excess salts and built-up deposits in growing media by the synergistic effect of its acidic components. This means optimum levels of Electrical Conductivity (EC) and pH are much easier to achieve. A new generation of wetting agents improves the downward and lateral flow of water to provide a uniform moisture profile. The organic complexing agents stimulate root growth and work as chemical “claws” that bind to the accumulated salts to produce an enhanced flushing effect. The acidic formulation increases the solubility of accumulated salts and maintains the pH of the growing media at optimum values for improved nutrient uptake. Nutrient uptake and plant growth are boosted by the biostimulant effect of Humic and Fulvic acids.

For acidification of irrigation water to reduce carbonate deposits and maintain availability of nutrients. Citric acid also has a complexing action on many nutrients which improves their availability, uptake and mobility. Add citric acid in sufficient quantity to reduce the water pH to between 5.5 and 6.5. The amount of acid required will vary with the bicarbonate content of the water - see application rate table. Available as crystals (powder) or as a liquid (50% dilution).
