1. What it is & how it works
Q1. What is DCM Olega® Complex and what does it do?
DCM Olega® Complex is a liquid foliar fertiliser combining NPK 6-3-4 with six chelated trace elements (boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc) and 6% seaweed extract —
designed for rapid nutrient uptake through the leaf to deliver fast greening, correct deficiencies, and strengthen plant growth during the active growing season.
Q2. Why are the trace elements chelated, and why does this matter?
Chelated trace elements remain permanently soluble and plant-available regardless of spray water or soil pH — without chelation, micronutrients such as iron, manganese, and zinc
readily form insoluble compounds that cannot enter the plant even when present in the spray solution.
Q3. What is the role of the seaweed extract in DCM Olega® Complex?
The 6% seaweed extract acts as a biostimulant, promoting stronger plant growth, improving stress tolerance, and enhancing the uptake of nutrients applied alongside it — it is
the same category of ingredient that drives products like PhytoPrime I, and its inclusion makes Olega® Complex more than a conventional micronutrient spray.
2. Application & timing
Q4. When and how should DCM Olega® Complex be applied?
Apply during the active growing season (spring to summer) once plants are well in leaf, preferably in the late afternoon or early evening on slightly moist plants out of direct sun
— apply to drip-off point, with a minimum of two applications and ideally three at 10-day intervals.
Q5. What are the correct dilution rates, and does the rate change during flowering?
Standard rates are 8 ml per litre of water for shrubs, hedges, conifers, and vegetables under glass (to drip-off), reducing to 3 ml per litre during full bloom to avoid scorch — for lawns and sport fields, apply 300–400 ml per 10 litres of water per 100 m².
3. Practical & commercial
Q6. How does DCM Olega® Complex fit alongside the granular DCM products?
DCM Olega® Complex is a foliar supplement to be used alongside a granular soil programme — not as a replacement for it. It delivers rapid correction of deficiency symptoms and a
growth stimulus that granular products cannot match for speed, while the granular programme provides the sustained background nutrition over the season.
Q7. Which deficiencies does DCM Olega® Complex address, and how does it prevent antagonistic effects?
The balanced combination of boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc means DCM Olega® Complex addresses the most common micronutrient deficiencies simultaneously —
the proportioning of elements is designed to avoid the antagonistic interactions that occur when individual micronutrients are applied in excess.
Q8. How is DCM Olega® Complex packaged and stored?
Available in 5-litre drums (4 drums per case, 20 litres) and 15-litre drums — store in a frost-free place and shake well before each use.
