MPXA^® Greens & Tees Foliar Spray
MPXA^® Turf Foliar Spray

These products come in pre-measured dry containers for the treatment of one acre or three acre and 25-50 acre areas respectively. Both are totally soluble and mix well with as little as 5 gallons and 25 gallons of water respectively. These products may be used on a stand-alone basis to enhance the beauty and durability of your greens, tees and turf. Because of their chelating ability, they will also take advantage of unused or non-available micronutrients found in typical soils. These products may also be added to your current applications on a regular basis in order to improve the efficacy, as well as providing a totally chelated micronutrient/macronutrient system in basic and acidic solutions.

The above products, when used according to the label, will enhance the following MPXA^® micronutrient proucts where the basic soil is low or devoid of any natural organic material.

MPXA^® Chelated Micronutrients

MPXA^® Chelated Calcium (20%)

As in human physiology, calcium adds to skeletal strength. It is an essential part of the cell wall structure and must be present for the formation of new cells. Calcium is non-mobile in plants, and therefore continued application is essential. Young tissue is affected first under conditions of deficiency. Greens, tees and fairways treated with MPXA^® products are stronger, less likely to be damaged by excessive wear or heat, and are better looking after mowing. Calcium also keeps irrigation water balanced when a high level of magnesium is present.

Calcium is often applied to "tight" soils to improve their physical properties. Calcium replaces sodium soil partials and allows the sodium to be leached below the root zone. Because of the large amounts of calcium needed in some situations, MPXA^® Chelated Calcium uses calcium carbonate rather than calcium sulfate as it's base product. This prevents sulfur from being added as a by-product of calcium, lowering the overall application rates of sulfur and giving the manager a choice in the sulfur question. Sulfur may be added when and if necessary. One to two pounds per acre per application is recommened. Re-apply at programmed intervals.

MPXA^® Chelated Iron (10%)

Iron is required for the formation of chlorophyll in plant cells. It serves as an activator for biochemical processes such as respiration, photosynthesis, and symbiotic nitrogen fixation. The use of MPXA^® Chelated Iron will products a strong green color lasting 25-30 days. Used in conjuction with growth inhibitors, MPXA^® Chelated Iron will produce a lovely green turf, without the necessity of additional mowing. One to two pounds per acre per application is recommended. Re-apply at programmed intervals.

MPXA^® Chelated High Manganese Combination Micro Package
(Mn 4%, Mg 1%, Fe 3%)

Manganese serves as an activator for enzymes in growth processes. It assists iron in chlorophyll formation, and thus in the oxygen-evolving system of photosynthesis. The chlorophyll molecule in turn contains magnesium. It is therefore also essential for photosynthesis, along with iron. Magnesium serves as an activtor for many plant enzymes required in growth processes, as well as acting like calcium wherein it will replace sodium cations in soil, reducing salinity. Two to four pounds per acre per application is recommended. Re-apply at programmed intervals.

MPXA^® 10-20 Manganese Calcium Package (Mn 10%, Ca 20%)

In many areas of the country, Magnesium is found in abundance in both the water and soil. In these instances, it is not necessary to use the above combo to get essential Manganese along with your calcium. This premium package is designed for these areas. Being 95% chelated, no more than one to two pounds per acre are usually required.

Levels of all MPXA^® micronutrients are formulated on the generally accepted need per acre (per pound basis) for well maintained greens, tees, and fairways. Because our products are 95-98% chelated, and therefore twice as effective as most chelated products currently in use, the base recommendation per acre may seem low, however when taking into consideration their efficiency, this makes very good economic sense.
