“Rosette” and “little leaf” from zinc deficiency,
Interveinal chlorosis from iron deficiency.
• Concentrate foliar sprays on the lower surfaces of leaves for best absorption
• Young trees extend vegetative growth longer than mature trees (by virtue of not expending resources
on reproductive structures); apply zinc to new growth through the end of July
• In alternate bearing species/cultivars, early season nutritional requirements are greater following
heavy bearing seasons
• Nut production/fill is directly correlated to the number, and health, of the leaves produced

Ø Suitable for ground or aerial application
Ø Low or high volume spray rates
The Adjuvant Advantage
…in the mix tank
…between the spray tip and the leaf
Strong Chelating Agents
- Ensures the water
solubility required
for plant uptake and
utilization.
Anti-Evaporants - Achieves greater efficiency of the applied
nutrients by preventing the evaporation of micro-droplets
before the target is reached.
Buffering Agents - Improves
stability of the spray
solution and provides
optimum nutrient
availability when tank
mixing with many
common crop protection
products.
Miscibility - Application
and handling efficiencies
result from tank mixing
WUXAL formulations
with many common crop
protection products.
Mature Trees
…on the leaf
Surfactants - Evenly
distributes the spray
solution on leaf
surface to maximize
efficacy and crop
safety of foliar applied
nutrients.
Stickers - Greatly
reduces nutrient
wash- off loss due
to irrigation and
rainfall by holding
the solution on the
targeted leaf surface.
Humectants –
Re-activates dried
residual deposits,
allowing for plant
uptake over a
prolonged time
period.
