FAQ's

1. Product
What is TRIAD and what does it do?

TRIAD is a foliar fertiliser delivering copper, manganese, and zinc via Flex Technology - targeting three low-mobility trace elements that are critical for plant cell wall strength, photosynthesis, and enzyme function, but difficult to move efficiently within the plant.

What is Flex Technology and why does it matter for TRIAD?

Flex Technology binds copper, manganese, and zinc to amide nitrogen and carbon in stable, neutrally charged complexes that are actively taken up by the leaf - significantly improving
uptake of nutrients that are otherwise difficult to deliver efficiently via foliar application.

What does TRIAD contain?

TRIAD contains amide nitrogen (2.3% w/v), sulphur as SO₃ (13.0% w/v), copper (1.25% w/v), manganese (5.0%
w/v), and zinc (3.75% w/v) - all delivered via Flex Technology.

2. Application
Which crops is TRIAD recommended for?

TRIAD covers ornamentals, protected edibles, soft fruit, top fruit, and vines - with application timings focused on key vegetative, fruiting, and post-harvest windows.

How does TRIAD fit into an INM programme?

TRIAD slots directly into an Integrated Nutrient Management programme as a targeted micronutrient correction and maintenance tool, complementing primary NPK nutrition without requiring programme redesign.

3. Performance
Is there trial data available for TRIAD?

Yes - 2024 vineyard trial data from an Essex trial site showed TRIAD at 1 L/ha increasing leaf manganese by 63%, copper by 62%, and zinc by 96% against an untreated control.

How does TRIAD support plant resilience?

By maintaining adequate levels of copper, manganese, and zinc in actively growing tissue, TRIAD supports the biochemical defence mechanisms and metabolic processes that underpin a
naturally resilient crop.

4. Sourcing
Why source TRIAD through Fargro?
