In this article we review the three mechanisms of action of NEUTROpHORT plus, as pH regulator, stimulator of metabolism, its wetting and coadjuvant effect.
# MECHANISM 1: pH REGULATION
To obtain a satisfactory application of the phytosanitary products (insecticides, herbicides and fungicides) a correct conditioning of the spray liquid is of the utmost importance.
The different active materials are stabilized within a specific pH range. If it exceeds this optimum pH range, it degrades and its effectiveness decreases markedly. This phenomenon is known as alkaline hydrolysis.
In solution, most of the active materials have a negative charge, but when they encounter spray mixtures, whose water may contain high amounts of calcium and magnesium cations, insoluble salts are formed and these precipitate and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
Thanks to the application of NEUTROpHORT plus, the calcium and magnesium ions present in the water are neutralized, rapidly decreasing the pH, guaranteeing the optimum efficacy of the product and the safety of use in the spray mixtures.
In this way, the applied active matter is totally free and ready to act
# MECHANISM 2: STIMULATION OF METABOLISM
Cultifort is committed to a state-of-the-art formulation of nutritional products and biostimulants that, unlike those existing in the market, do not try to increase the concentration of the element, but maximize its absorption.
The nitrogen contained in NEUTROpHORT plus increases metabolic activity, facilitating the absorption of nutrients and phytosanitary products. In addition, we must consider the nutritional effect that NEUTROpHORT plus provides in foliar treatments, acting and providing the benefits that the macronutrient can provide.
#MECHANISM 3: WETTING AND COADJUVANT
Both phytosanitary and foliar applied nutrients have very different absorption rates, depending on their nature and environmental conditions.
With NEUTROpHORT plus an optimum surface tension is achieved, thanks to the formation of a thin film on the leaf, which gives it greater adherence, an increase in the retention time and performance of the treatments on the surface of the same.

In addition, NEUTROpHORT plus is beneficial for the rest of agricultural inputs. By increasing the contact surface increases penetration and therefore the effectiveness of the plant protection product.
IN CONCLUSION, WITH NEUTROpHORT plus YOU CAN GET THE FOLLOWING POSITIVE EFFECTS:
