SPIC Nourish
Description
SPIC NOURISH is a balanced multi-micronutrient fertilizer blended in judicious proportion to meet the need of all crops.
(Banana & Coconut Special Micronutrient Mixture)
Micronutrients are removed from soil by plants without any systematic replacement. The gradual loss of micronutrients through weathering, leaching and decreased use of organic manures accelerated the exhaustion of available micronutrients from the soil. Rapid replenishment of soil with rich micronutrients is the only way to increase quantitative and qualitative crop yield. Considering this, we now have introduced "SPIC NOURISH – Banana Special” and "SPIC NOURISH – Coconut Special” to address their micronutrient requirement and enhancement the yield of Bananas & Coconuts.
