Understanding phosphites Unium Bioscience is at the forefront of phosphite research and formulation technology. Our aim is to inform so that growers can make educated and data-backed product choices which will provide the most cost-effective results. Understanding the many faces of phosphites could hold the key to unlocking their potential. CPM explores their role in agronomy, how they work and how the physical characteristics of phosphite salts can affect outcomes. Phosphites are very reactive in an unstabilised form. By Lucy de la Pasture Phosphites are perhaps one of the best known biostimulants and have been used in agriculture for several decades. They’ve charted an interesting agronomic course, where research enthusiasm has flipflopped from nutritional products, to fungicides and finally to biostimulants – on the way creating lots of controversy still evident today Science has discovered a lot about phosphites but the knowledge hasn’t necessarily been transferred to the field, according to Dr Nigel Grech, co-founder of Unium Bioscience and a researcher based in the Unites States. Nigel believes phosphites are a fantastic tool if you know how, when and why to use them. CPM draws on his 30 years of research and his experience using phosphites on his own…
