Characteristics
F1 is particularly indicated during the first stage of plants development and when plants are suffering from any stressful event which may impair their root absorption capacity.

F1’s main features are:
- High content in moisturizing and carrying substances which ensure a complete and prolonged absorption, even at low temperatures;
- Buffering substances which improve the quality of water by correcting its pH and hardness;
- Lack of nitrates which often cause an excess of strength, thus unbalancing the plant;
- Lack of chlorides, which are noxious for specific vegetable and flower crops and chlorine sensitive plants;
- Best possible compatibleness with plant protection products, except those with a purely acid or alkaline reaction.

Application fields and instructions for use
200 - 300 ml/hl for normal volume treatments, up to 1 lt/hl for low volume treatments.

Fruit-growing
F1 is used both on pome-fruits and stone-fruits during the first vegetative stage so as to ensure a good nutrition at the flowering-setting stage, which is often endangered by low temperatures, frost and stagnant water preventing the root system from working correctly.

Grape-growing
F1 is mostly used on nursery vines and young vineyards whose root system is inadequately developed. It is used on plants at growing stages in poor and cold soils to encourage a good development of the vine-branches at pre-flowering stage.
Average number of applications: 2 to 4.

Commercial crops
(tomatoes, beets, potatoes, peas, corn, cereals)
The applications of F1 mixed with fungicides, insecticides and weed-killers during the first crop growth stages, potentiate the effect of the products employed as a mixture thanks to their moisturizing and adhesive properties. Also, does F1 encourage crop development and vigour thanks to the nutrients it supplies.

Vegetable- and flower-growing
The lack of nitrates in F1 plays a crucial role in vegetable growing, where residues may have dangerous effects on consumers’ health.
F1 balanced association of macro and microelements stimulate crops to grow in a well-balanced and thriving manner, combining yield volume and quality nevertheless not to the detriment of the latter.
The lack of chlorides is fundamental for some vegetables and flowers.
Well developed plants and plentiful and prolonged blooming, for example with outdoor pot flowers, can be obtained by repeating the treatment every 10 - 15 days, starting one week after bedding out. The product may be supplied during watering, mixing it according to a ratio of 300-400 ml/10 litres of water.

Citrus and olive trees
F1 is used in association with plant protection treatments with a view to improve their efficacy and help the plant to overcome water stresses.

Lawns and golf courts
By adding F1 to the treatments for lawns and golf courts, it is possible to enhance the product activity; F1 has an invigorating effect on the grass and, because of the presence of organic matter which is very much appreciated by soil bacterial flora, it helps to keep the lawn in good health.
