Botanicare SWEET CITRUS Mineral Supplement – 1 Quart

Top Features and Ingredients

The effectiveness of SWEET CITRUS is rooted in its targeted formulation. It includes select carbohydrates that provide immediate energy for metabolic functions and support beneficial microbial activity in the root zone. Esters and bio-polyphenolic compounds—natural aroma precursors—enhance the production of essential oils and flavour compounds, making fruits and herbs more aromatic and tasty. A precise blend of secondary trace elements like zinc, copper, and molybdenum supports enzymatic reactions that drive growth, stress tolerance, and nutrient assimilation. The formula is designed as a bio-synthesis platform, aiding the plant's own synthesis of amino acids, hormones, and other critical metabolites.

Who Should Use SWEET CITRUS?

This mineral supplement is ideal for a wide range of growers: fruit and vegetable growers cultivating citrus, berries, melons, tomatoes, peppers, and other crops where flavour and sugar content are paramount; hydroponic and soil growers who need essential minerals that may be lacking in artificial or depleted growing media; organic gardeners (the components are naturally derived and compatible with organic practises); and commercial or hobbyist growers from small home gardens to large-scale operations.

How to Apply SWEET CITRUS

For best results, follow the application guidelines on the product label. Typically, add SWEET CITRUS to your nutrient solution or water and apply during the flowering and fruiting stages. Start with a low dose and gradually increase as plants respond. It can be used alongside standard fertilisers, but avoid mixing with concentrated nutrient stock solutions—add directly to the final reservoir. Always shake well before use and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Key Benefits for Plant Growth

• Amplified Energy: Select carbohydrates provide a readily available energy source, fuelling growth and development during critical phases.
• Enhanced Photosynthesis and Respiration: Secondary trace elements like magnesium, iron, and manganese support chlorophyll production and enzyme activity, leading to more efficient photosynthesis and respiration.
• Increased Sugar and Brix Content: By optimising metabolic pathways, SWEET CITRUS helps plants produce and store higher levels of natural sugars, resulting in sweeter, more flavourful fruits and vegetables.
• Improved Flavours and Aromas: Esters and bio-polyphenolic compounds stimulate the synthesis of volatile organic compounds that define the characteristic taste and smell of your crops.
• Greater Plant Biomass: With better energy utilisation and nutrient uptake, plants can allocate resources towards larger, more robust growth.
