NEW REGISTRATION/COMPOSITION Reg. No. B4705, Act No.36 of 1947 A micro-element foliar feed to correct deficiencies of zinc, manganese, copper and boron in wheat and field crops. (FERTILIZER GROUP 2) ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Nitrogen (N)…………………………………….28.6g/kg Sulphur (S)………………………………………113.8g/kg Manganese (Mn) g/kg Zinc (Zn) g/kg Copper (Cu) g/kg Boron (B) …..13.9g/kg

FEATURES AND BENEFITS A powder formulation was developed to eliminate the settlement/ crystallization found in GRAINMAX 4 and TRIOSPRAY FLO. Much higher elemental loading Reduced transport cost Is 3.85 x more concentrated than GRAINMAX 4, just comparing Mn, Zn, Cu & B alone. Has additional nitrogen and a high dose of sulphur. Sulphur is one of the most “forgotten” elements. Has a built in compatibility aid to reduce binding/ precipitation.

CROPS Formulated for all grain crops (wheat, maize) and row crops such as soya. Suited for sugarcane and pastures too as this formulation is cost effective and contains the desired range of trace elements plus sulphur. The Zn, Mn, Cu levels are often “locked” after glyphosate applications, so Bliss™ is ideally suited for application 7-10 days after such applications.

TIMING OF APPLICATION Wheat- apply at 4 to 6 leaf stage in wheat and a second (if required) application on wheat at late tillering/early piping stage. Maize- apply at V4-V6 for maize. Second application at stage V8 on maize if required days after Roundup® applications on RR crops. Cane and pastures, apply once there is enough leaf area. Allow 3 to 4 weeks between applications.

DOSAGE/RATES Begin with 500g Bliss® per Ha in early season and the second application at 750g per Ha once the crop has grown and the water volume is increased. NB.BLISS™ should ideally be first mixed with a bit of clean water and thoroughly mixed before incorporating it in the spray tank. Do not apply if temperatures exceed 30°C at time of application. Crops should not be overly stressed during such applications.

SULPHUR (S) DEFICIENCY

ZINC (Zn) DEFICIENCY

COPPER (Cu) DEFICIENCY

BORON (B) DEFICIENCY “Poor pollination & form”

UNIQUE SELLING POINTS Higher loading, reduced transport, easier handling & reduced packaging. Bags used, which means no drum returns. Additional sulphur as an added bonus, especially beneficial on protein crops and pastures. Amino acid as additional source of N & S. Chelation properties of amino and citric acid. WP/WG formulation is stable and not subjected to stability issues as seen in many liquid formulations
