Proteus is specially formulated for application to arable crops to enhance yield and quality.

It is a stabilised Nitrogen foliar feed containing Nitrogen in both the Ammoniacal and Ureic forms. It is formulated for optimum compatibility with agrochemicals and contains acidifying penetrants for rapid plant uptake. The urea based Nitrogen content of the product is stabilised to reduce scorch, and it also contains a high level of instantly available Sulphur to improve nitrogen metabolism at uptake and to feed grain filling.

Type:

Macronutrient

Features:

A unique formula for full absorption within 45 minutes, without scorching even at high rates
Independently measured at 85% plus nitrogen usage efficiency; Soil applied fertilisers struggle to do better than 55% efficiency
Perfect combination of humectants, surfactants and spray retention agents which is uniquely optimised for foliar application and for eliminating ammonia volatilisation (no scorch)
Urea thiosulphate form inhibiting nitrification
Multiple forms of Nitrogen to satisfy every need of the crop, in wheat trials 35% less total nitrogen needed
An extra sulphur boost in a rapidly biologically available form
Can be adapted to local registration requirements

Appearance:

Thick bronze liquid

Typical analysis:

Nitrogen (N) : 330 g/L
Ureic N : 158g/L
Ammoniacal N : 111g/L
Nitrate N : 65g/L
Sulphur (SO3) : 250 g/L

Crop Types & Application rates:

Rates from as little as 3L/ha are effective for use on young plants at the 3 Leaf stage.
During vegetative growth and before the leaf canopy offers ground cover, no more than 40L /ha is recommended.
The amount required will depend on the overall Nitrogen fertilisation regime and the growing conditions.
For enhanced oil content in Oil Seed Rape / Canola use 40 Litres per hectare or 2 x 25L/ha at Petal fall.

Water Rates: Where suitable spraying machinery is used, Proteus may be applied in water volumes as low as 200 litres per hectare for conventional hydraulic sprayers fitted with appropriate nozzles. Ideally a volume of 300 litres per hectare should be used for maximum coverage and uptake, with minimum scorch risk.

Crops: Proteus has been formulated specifically for the milling wheat crop or on oilseed rape at petal fall, where a top up dose of foliar Nitrogen is required to increase protein levels and enhance yield and quality of the crop. Proteus has been produced specifically to exploit that opportunity.

Timing: The application of Proteus needs to be carefully timed, as it is easy to be too late or too early in applying the product. The correct timing is at the milky ripe stage. However, it is unlikely that the whole crop will evenly achieve this growth stage at the same time. It may be preferable to split treat in these circumstances If there is any doubt as to timing the single application correctly, then a split treatment may be recommended. Avoid spraying in hot sunshine; conditions at the start and end of the day are best for spraying foliar Nitrogen.

Compatibility:

Proteus is physically and chemically compatible with a wide range of agrochemical products.

For more information on specific tank mix compatibility, please speak to your distributor, qualified agronomist, or the team at Micromix Plant Health.

Helping our customers grow

Through a variety of applications..

As the world population increases so does the food demand. Land as well as nutrients and other fertiliser raw materials are limited resources, and it has become of prime importance to increase yields per hectare while reducing the use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides. Therefore, ensuring a sustainable environment for our future generations.

Micromix have made it our prime objective to develop technologies to help Customers reduce cost by effectively and healthy increasing yield, in a number of ‘everchanging weather’ environments, and reduce the use of chemical soil fertilisers and pesticide inputs as well as polluting losses to the environment.

Our products

From nutrition to biostimulation

Micromix has become a leader in the foliar nutrition and biostimulant market, by continuing to develop our in-house formulation technology, which focuses on the interaction between the nutrient active ingredient of our products and the plant itself, to improve efficiency.
