Axilo Mix 5 is a chelated micronutrient fertilizer from Valagro. It is a water-soluble dry micro-granule blend of copper, iron, manganese, zinc, magnesium, boron and molybdenum. It is used to correct and prevent micronutrient deficiencies in turf, ornamentals, vegetables, fruit, nut, field and forage crops, and other labeled plants.
The copper, iron, manganese and zinc are EDTA-chelated, which improves nutrient availability and plant uptake. The granules disperse easily in spray tanks, starter solutions and compatible tank mixes. It can be applied to foliage or to soil and roots. Use low rates for maintenance, middle rates for medium deficiencies and high rates for more severe deficiencies.
The product is compatible with many fertilizers and pesticides, but a jar test should be done before tank mixing, especially with phosphorus fertilizers. It contains boron, so do not apply it near seeds or very young roots. Do not apply when the crop is under water stress. Application after irrigation or rainfall is best. Do not apply to plants bearing mature fruit until it is determined that the product will not damage or mark the fruit.
