Specialist knowledge of fluid dynamics has also allowed OMEX to expand into producing wastewater treatments and deicers. OMEX Agriculture is a major manufacturer of liquid fertilisers in the UK. OMEX offers the farmer a “Total Crop Nutrition” package through its range of unique suspension fertilisers, solution fertilisers, foliar nutrients, health promoters and SAP testing services. OMEX Horticulture offers a complete nutrition and advisory...

Increasingly Acid Neutral Increasingly Alkaline Foliar fertilisation is widely used as a standard practice in many crops throughout the world, and is especially valuable in particular situations: • When conditions limit the uptake of nutrients from the soil through plant roots • When the availability of nutrients from the soil is too low, for example due to leaching or lock-up • During short term peak demand, such as periods of rapid growth, or during grain, fruit or tuber formation In addition, foliar fertilisation is potentially more targeted and efficient and so more environmentally...

Suspension and Emulsion Formulations SAP® Testing Services OMEX offers a full nutritional analysis service using the facilities of the Scientific Agricultural Partnership (SAP) laboratories in King’s Lynn. The laboratories specialise in the extraction, analysis and interpretation of sap samples taken from growing plants. Individual interpretation of each sample result is carried out by a team of qualified agronomists, allowing recommendations to be made for the active nutritional management of the crop. OMEX specialises in the development and manufacture of super-concentrated liquid foliar...

Nutrient Deficiencies Manganese Function of Manganese Manganese Deficiency Boron Function of Boron Boron is required for good plant health and growth and is particularly important in the development of fruit and foliage, translocation of sugars and reproductive processes. Boron also assists with the regulation of water balance within the plant cells. Calcium is a primary constituent of all cell walls and membranes. Restrictions in the availability of calcium will adversely affect cell division, impair the structural stability and the permeability of cell walls. Increasing calcium levels in...

Molybdenum Function of Molybdenum Molybdenum is an essential component in two enzymes that convert nitrate into nitrite (a toxic form of nitrogen) and then into ammonia before it is used to synthesize amino acids within the plant Molybdenum Deficiency Deficiency is associated with low pH rather than high pH. In growing medias, it causes a whip like disfigurement and pale yellow leaves that will in time spread to an interveinal chlorosis. Function of Nitrogen Nitrogen is the major element required by plants and is a major constituent of proteins, enzymes and amino acids. Phosphorus...

4 Liquid calcium nitrate (7.6%N 10.5% Ca w/w) At present most growers utilise a liquid feed programme as their primary means of supplying plant nutrients. This is done using a combination of soluble fertilisers to provide the complete nutritional package for all crops and situations. Such feed programmes generally include calcium nitrate, which usually has to be stored, mixed and fed separately to avoid crystallisation or sedimentation in lines and nozzles. The usual method is to dissolve calcium nitrate (15.5% N + 19% Ca) in water in tank A and all other nutrients in tank B. Calomex 105...

O-Mix Soluble Powders OMEX Nutrient Management Using a combination of soluble fertilisers for fertigation with the O-Mix fertiliser range provides the complete nutritional package for all crops and situations. OMEX offers a specialist Nutrient Programme for all crops and growing conditions which have proven results worldwide. Using the OMEX system of nutrient management maximizes plant health and vigour and in turn increases pest and disease resistance reducing the need for agrochemicals. Benefits of OMEX soluble fertilisers • echnical grade raw materials ensuring T 100% solubility in water...

O-Mix Range Product Name O-Mix Soluble Powders A range of water soluble powders made using the purest raw materials, blended to the highest standard for use in fertigation and supplementary liquid feeding. Crops Most horticultural crops. Use Water soluble fertilisers to suit most growing media and soils. Use as the basis for all feed programmes. Pack Size 25kg O-Mix Range or O-Mix ADJUST Range The choice of O-Mix range will depend on the source and quality of water to be used in the fertigation system. OMEX recommend a water sample is analysed regularly, to ensure the correct range and...

Analysis of soil, water and plant SAP testing, as well as understanding past fertilisation programmes, will help in choosing the appropriate fertiliser to use for any crop in question. Most crops will require a feed in the range 0.6 to 1.2 gram/l (0.06 - 0.12% w/w) and using dilutions as recommended below will give solution concentrations in this range. The frequency of application depends on individual cropping needs, but the general rule of little and often applies. A weak feed given all the time (i.e. at every watering) is usually preferable to a strong feed interspersed with pure water....

0-28-19 Biostimulants & Quality Improvement * Use To stimulate plant growth and improve the uptake and systemic movement of nurtient cations within the plant. * Crops A wide range or horticultral crops * Pack Size 20, 1000 litres 0-28-19 can be used to improve root growth and crop establishment. Application to mature plants will aid the uptake and movement within the plant of co-applied nutrient products, which can lead to stronger healthier plants more capable of withstanding abiotic stress. * Phosphites as Biostimulants Used at low rates on young plants, phosphites can act as...
