Functions of Primary Nutrients:
	Nitrogen (N) in ARIES MACROFERT is: Most important major essential plant nutrient Important constituent of protein & amino acids Chief constituent of chlorophyll Controls the utilization of nutrients like phosphorus and potassium Formation of protein, coenzymes and nucleic acids
	Phosphorus (P) in ARIES MACROFERT is: Essential for enzymatic and energy transfer reactions. Formation of nucleic acids Protein synthesis Cell membrane component (phospholipids) Essential for cell division Catalyst that hastens the ripening process
	Potassium (K) in ARIES MACROFERT is: An enzyme activator Essential for protein synthesis Stomatal functions Turgor potential Free agent in plants that helps in photosynthesis, fruit formation, developing winter hardiness and disease resistance Essential for sugar translocation

Benefits of ARIES MACROFERT:

• ARIES MACROFERT is a 100% water soluble powder
• ARIES MACROFERT supplies all three major nutrients N, P, & K in a form redily absorbable by plants
• ARIES MACROFERT gives best results with frequent applications at low application rates
• ARIES MACROFERT improves root development, boosts irrigation efficiency and nutrient absorption by plants
• ARIES MACROFERT can be used in sprayers, drip irrigation systems
• ARIES MACROFERT is compatible with common plant protection chemicals and micronutrients (cannot be applied with strong alkaline products)
• ARIES MACROFERT uses sources of N that are in a more available form to the crops, i.e., as ammonical & nitrate nitrogen.

Compatibility:
ARIES MACROFERT is miscible with virtually all the common plant protection agents, other fertilizers and micronutrients. It is not miscible with products forming strongly acidic solutions or with minerals oils. It may also be added to the necessary fungicide and insecticide sprays. A simple compatibility test with the intended mixing partners is recommended before actual use.

Storage:
ARIES MACROFERT can be stored in unopened original containers for several years. Opened containers should be used up or be resealed immediately. Any hardening of the product that may occur during prolonged storage does not influence the chemical quality, solubility of the product and it can be used effectively on crops in the recommended dosage. It is recommended to store the product in a cool and ventilated place, away from foodstuffs, children and animals. The product is not poisonous.

Precaution during Usage:
It is advisable to use scoop while handling. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash hands and eyes after use thoroughly with water. Use normal protective wear while spraying.

Supplies Nitrate Nitrogen with high levels of Potassium required from fruit setting to fruit development stages.
Improves shape, size and height of growing fruits and increases fruit quality.
Reducing dropping of immature and developing fruits under unfavourable growing condition.
Protects matured fruits from sunburn through development of an adequate leaf canopy.
Ideal for foliar sprays as additional K-source having low risk of leaf burning and scorching. Also ideal for fertigation.

Promotes profuse flowering and fruit setting
Maintains uniform growth and shape of developing fruits
Reduces flower and fruit dropping and improves yields
Controls Powdery and Downey Mildews, reddening of leaves and other similar diseases
Has a low salt index relative to other fertilizer grades, reducing injuries to crops from seedling to maturity stages

For fast and healthy vegetative growth
Best and most cost effective source of high levels phosphorus for direct fertigation use as well as foliar sprays

For fruit maturity, colour and sugar development
Improves translocation of nutritional material from stem and branches to maturing fruits
Improves final weight, sugar and quality of fruits
Develops resistance in plants to water stress conditions during terminal period of the production season
Improves shelf life of the fruits and enables storage for required periods to take the benefit of fluctuations in market prices
