NOV@ improves nutrient use efficiency and promotes a balanced plant with shorter internodes, thicker stems and larger, more photosynthetically active leaves.
Key Benefits
- Balanced plant growth
- Stabilise nutrients and improve use efficiency
- Improve soil health and structure
Key Components
Plant extracts, yeast extracts, organic acids, vitamins, biologically chelated micronutrients.
Mode of Action
NOV@ contains plant extracts rich in phytosaponins (biological adjuvants which carry compounds directly into roots), polysaccharides and glycine betaine. Combined with organic acids, this gives a ROOTING FACTOR, improving root development and architecture, nutrient uptake and soil structure.
Vitamins and biologically chelated micronutrients complete this by enhancing primary metabolism and optimising hormone balance.
The result is a healthier, more balanced plant for larger, firmer fruit and more uniform yields.

Directions for Use
15 - 20 L/ha
Light soils - lower rate increased frequency of applications
Stressed crops - increase rate 2x (NOVA 40 L/ha)
Season minimum NOVA 20 L/ha over 1 or more applications
Alternative application with weed sprayer: Tank mix NOVA with herbicides in weed sprayer at 2-5% concentration.
Example:
400L water per ha = 400 x 0.05 = NOVA 20 L/ha
(min NOVA 10 L/ha per application)
15 - 20 L/ha
Compatibility
This product can be mixed with all common formulations; avoid concentrated blends with acid reaction products. A simple mixture test to check physical compatibilty is advisable.
