Capsicum growers save time and maximise nutrient availability!Mark & Anthony Totorica – E and M’s Capsicums, far north QLD

Mark and Anthony Totorica have capsicum growing in their blood. Eulogio, their Dad, has had the site at Gumlu in far North Queensland for over 25 years, their business E and M’s Capsicums are well known for their quality.

The Totorica family have grown the business by looking for new ways to improve the growing practices and were open to try the NovAcidNPK products when they were presented the products by their local Landmark store.

TESTIMONIAL

Mark explains: “NovAcidNPK has been so easy to use, with all the NPK and Ca in one bag. This ensures that we have no mishaps and saves time and labour. The other benefit we get is that the acidifying nature of NovAcid means that it keeps our lines clean and maximises the nutrient availability. We save money and end up with a better crop.”

Supply of calcium is important to capsicums as calcium deficiency can lead to blossom end rot. The advantage of having high calcium formulations within the NPK blend is a major advantage of NovAcidNPK. NovAcidNPK dissolves very easily and is ideal for short crop cycles, ensuring the correct balance of nutrients are supplied throughout.

Benefits of using NovaAcidNPK n Reduces the pH of the irrigation water, preventing

precipitates and keeping irrigation systems clean.

n Provide acidity to neutralise and dissolve bicarbonates, avoiding scaling and clogging of pipes and drippers.

n Supply of calcium, which improves fruit quality

n Uniform and efficient distribution of irrigation water and fertilizers

NovAcidNPK is a specialty line of unique fully soluble acidic NPK’s in various formulations for fertigated crops. Ideal for fertigation in all soils and crops, in particularly calcareous soils and/or hard water with open field vegetables, fruit trees, open field crops and greenhouse crops.

NovAcidNPK products are based on the vast Israeli know-how and experience in modern fertigation technologies and is the number one choice in Israel’s well-developed agricultural community.

NovAcid NPK reduces the chance of a “stuff-up”, it’s easy to use and “it works!”Fergus McLachlan – Rivercorp Land & Water Limited, SA

Fergus McLachlan has been growing apples as operations manager for Rivercorp Land and Water Limited for 3 years with sites in Nangwarry and Loxton in South Australia. Fergus prides himself on ensuring delivery of the best available plant nutrients for the best available price for his orchards and other farms he is associated with, making considered product choices with the aim of delivering crop benefits.

TESTIMONIAL

Fergus grows many varieties of apples including Royal Gala, Pink Lady, Granny Smith and Fuji, with great success in growth and supply due to his astute farming practices and experience. Fergus chooses to use NovAcid NPK in his apple orchards as the only fertigation fertiliser in his program. As Fergus explains, “You tend to get blocked drippers with drip irrigation but with NovAcid NPK it acidifies and buffers alkaline soils and keeps drippers clean. Which allows for better plant available nutrients, leading to good tree growth and better fruit quality.”

Fergus is impressed with NovAcid NPK formulations being unique in their ability to mix Ca with phosphate and keep it in suspension without solidifying. Fergus chooses to use NovAcid NPK and recommends it as, “It works! It’s easy to handle, dissolves well, it’s a very good NPK blend, with the calcium being delivered in an efficient manner that allows the fruit to develop cell integrity and maintain better storage life.

The Acidifying effect of NovAcidNPKThe acidifying effect of NovAcidNPK reduces the pH of the irrigation water, which helps to prevent precipitates, keeping irrigation systems clean.

NovAcidNPK is specially formulated for fertigation applications in calerous soils and/or alkaline and hard irrigation water. These situations are difficult to manage due to high contents of bicarbonate, calcium and magnesium which easily create insoluble compounds causing clogging of the irrigation system.

Clean fertigation lines provide uniform supply of irrigation water and nutrients.

the areas we grow apples in is Loxton, which is recognised as a pretty difficult place to grow apples due to the climatic factors. It’s often challenging to get the right colour on the apples and there’s a greater chance of burning and calyx splitting, but with NovAcid NPK we have managed to improve our crop outcomes for growing in this area so that we can continue to deliver quality apples months earlier and fill a gap in supply during the normal apple off-season.”

Fergus is clear that, “NovAcid reduces the chance of stuff-ups! It’s a good product, our sole fertigation product, the range contains a number of blends to suit different situations and times of the year and plant available calcium is unmatched. In the end you’ve got to go with what works and where you can access good advice.”
