functions. On the other hand biostimulants
based on seaweed extracts largely influence root
development by endogenous auxins resulting in
improved nutrient and water uptake.
Our Contribution
Does Hicure® have the same mode of action like foliar
fertilisers?
No. Hicure® is an amino acid based plant
biostimulant made from organic material and
when applied to the crop at the recommended
rates and timing, enhances plant growth and
development by acting on the physiology of the
plant through different pathways to improve
crop vigour, yields, quality and post-harvest
shelf life. For the case of foliar fertilizers, the
crop response is attributed to the application of
traditional plant nutrients.
Foliar fertilizers are applied to efficiently meet
the nutrient demand of crops during periods
when soil conditions (low or high temperatures,
low or excess soil moisture, pH, salinity)
render soil-applied fertilizers ineffective, when
nutrients (e.g. phosphate, potassium, and trace
elements) become fixed in the soil, and when
crop nutrient demand is high.

Can Hicure® be tank mixed with adjuvants, crop protection
products or fertilizers?
Hicure® can be tank mixed with any other
kind of fertilizer, chelates and plant protection
products. Mixtures with sulphur based products,
copper based products, mineral oils and other
adjuvants should be avoided due to physical
incompatibility.
