The Haifa Bonus™ technology  

Prolonged Activity  |  Improved Efficiency  |  Better Safety

Haifa Bonus™ foliar nutrition sprayed, and forms droplets on the leaf surface		A portion of the fertilizer is absorbed immediately
When the air gets hot and dry, the fertilizer droplets dry and nutrient uptake temporarily stops		At night, the dew re-dissolves the fertilizer. Nutrient uptake is renewed

• Spray during the cooler and more humid hours of the day
• Apply foliar spray when the wind is low.
• Never spray plants under stress
• Test for possible side-effects or phytotoxicity by a small trial, spraying a week prior to the intended commercial treatments.
• After spraying rinse thoroughly, the sprayer and all its parts with fresh water

• Consider both spray concentration and spray volume.
• If you apply smaller (or larger) volume than recommended, increase (or decrease) the fertilizer concentration of the spray solution accordingly, to keep the total application rate per unit of area.
• Avoid concentrated sprays, as they might scorch leaves.
• Plants in areas of humid climate tend to have thinner leaf cuticle, which make them more susceptible to phytotoxcity.
• For this reason, spray concentrations must be considered more cautiously in these areas.

• Fill 1/4 - 1/3 of the spray tank with water. Add the entire amount of the fertilizer(s) and then fill up the tank with water.
• When preparing tank mix that includes pesticides, it is advisable:
• To keep the pH of the spray solution at level of 5.5 -6.5, to avoid alkaline hydrolysis of the pesticides.
• Note: In general, Haifa’s foliar products are slightly acidic, requiring lower rates of acid to set the pH of the spray solution.
• To perform a compatibility test of the spray-mix prior to large-scale treatment.
