25 Years On - "Stopit" Keeps "Strutting it´s Stuff!!"
Since the creation of the "Stopit" formulation in 1981, it has become, without doubt or argument, the industry standard for calcium sprays throughout fruit growing areas world-wide. Over the years trial after trial has demonstrated the benefits of applying a foliar "Stopit" programme to apples of almost every variety as well as on to pears, cherries and a host of other fruit crops.
Yet again in 2005, at the prestigious East Malling Research Station in Kent, UK, "Stopit" calcium sprays significantly reduced the incidence and severity of core flush as well as significantly lowering water core in apples.
Both core flush and water core appear to be on the increase in apples throughout fruit growing areas in recent years but "Stopit" has yet again demonstrated that it is well up to the challenge of treating these physiological disorders.
"Stopit" has the true formulation and performance pedigrees of all Yara Phosyn products and it still commands it´s leadership position amongst
calcium foliar sprays worldwide.
There is still plenty of time to apply "Stopit" foliar calcium sprays at 7-14 day intervals right up to one week before harvest. Always read the "Stopit" label carefully before use.
