Newport-Fersan (Jamaica) Limited has always prided itself on being focused on the productivity levels of our Jamaican farmers. This truth would have seen us for more than a decade, engaging and facilitating the implementation of the Precise Nutrient Management System (PNMS).
Recognizing that there is still a huge gap between farmers who would have switched to PNMS, and the countless dominant traditional approaches (generally void of secondary macro and micronutrients) of applying fertilizers, we have designed an intermediate step in the right direction.
Fersan’s Booster line of fertilizers, apart of our Improved Blends, seeks to address observed deficiencies of both secondary macro and micronutrients based on in-house data, which are not adequately addressed by the dominant traditional tendencies. The Booster line of Fertilizers (Granular and Soluble), also seeks to supply critical nutrients at the three distinct growth phases, (initiation, vegetative and productive) thereby enhancing greater levels of nutrient use-efficiency and ultimately crop productivity.
The Booster Line of Granular Fertilizers consist of the Start Booster, Vegetative Booster and Yield Booster.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Start Booster
Focuses on initial nutrient requirement with special emphasis on root development. The Start Booster has a combined blend of Primary Macro Nutrients (Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium), Secondary MacroNutrients (Sulfur and Magnesium) and essential Micro Nutrients (Iron, Zinc and Boron) designed to provide plants with the required nutrients for early crop establishment. The Start Booster is an economic alternative to the 14-28-14 and 11-22-22 offerring more nutrients, more yields, at a cheaper cost.
The benefits include:
- Promote early root growth and development
- Promote early shoot and stem growth
- Prevents and correct nutrient deficiency symptoms most commonly found in agricultural crops
- Prevent plants from stunting, thereby preventing delays in maturity and time to harvest.
Vegetative Booster
Focuses on the vegetative development of the crop. The Vegetative Booster has a combined blend of Primary Macro Nutrients (Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium), Secondary Macro Nutrients (Sulfur and Calcium), designed to provide plants with the required nutrients for the development stage of the crop. The Vegetative Booster is an economic alternative Urea and Sulphate of Amonium offering more nutrients, more yields, at a cheaper cost.
The benefits include:
- Contains Humic Acid (Organic Component) which aids in the increase of nutrient uptake, decrease in toxins, increase in water retention, improve Microbial Growth and improve Soil Structure among other benefits.
- Promote vigorous plant growth.
- Increase growth of branches and stems.
- Prevents and correct nutrient deficiency symptoms most commonly found in agricultural crops during the development stage.
- Improve and support the physical structure of the plant to support the production stage.
Yield Booster
Focuses on the quality aspects of production and is the final in the series. The Yield Booster has a combined blend of Primary Macro Nutrients (Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium), Secondary Macro Nutrients (Sulfur and Magnesium) and essential Micro Nutrients (Iron, Zinc and Boron) designed to provide plants with the required nutrients for the production stage of the crop. The Yield Booster is is an economic alternative to the 15-5-35 offering more nutrients, more yields, at a cheaper cost.
The benefits include:
- Promotes flowering and fruit set.
- Promotes fruit development and increase crop yield.
- Promotes uniformity of fruit maturity.
- Improves plant immunity and tolerance to abiotic and biotic stress.
