- BAVARIA 12-8-40 + TE is a high-quality German foliar fertilizer with a balanced macronutrient ratio (12% nitrogen, 8% phosphorus, 40% potassium), rich in EDTA-chelated micronutrients such as iron, zinc, manganese and copper. It is used at critical growth stages such as flowering, fruit set and fruit development to improve crop quality and increase yield. It increases flower numbers and fruit set, stimulates fruit filling and raises sugar and solids content, giving firmer, shinier and better-tasting fruit. It also improves plant tolerance to heat and salinity stress and increases nutrient uptake efficiency, boosting both yield and quality.
Key Features
- Contains high potassium to improve fruit fill, firmness and shine.
- Raises sugar and solids content in fruit, improving taste and market quality.
- Rich in EDTA-chelated micronutrients for fast uptake and high effectiveness.
- Promotes fruit set and reduces flower drop at critical stages.
- Improves plant tolerance to environmental stresses such as heat and salinity.
- Fully water-soluble, suitable for all irrigation systems and foliar spraying.
- Improves nutrient uptake within the plant and increases fertilizer efficiency.
