Nano Chelated Complete Micro | 1.5 g/L |
Notes
- In late winter, when saffron bulb loses its roots, applying Khazra Chelated Nano fertilizers through foliar spraying will be very important. These fertilizers will be absorbed by saffron leaves and transported to the bulbs, resulting in larger leaves. Consequently, it will lead to 30% yield increase in the next year.
- In addition to the third stage, if foliar spraying is also done in the middle of winter (when the temperature is about 15oc – a sunny and quite warm day- and when you are sure no rain and frostbite will occur on the night of foliar spraying), the yield will increase.
- At each stage, the cases must be applied together.
