Product description
BIO-PROTAN®Microvega is a liquid compound of micronutrients and organic molecules produced by hydrolysis of natural protein. The unique combination of naturally chelated microelements and amino acids (the organic molecules and “building blocks” from which proteins are made) helps to prevent micronutrient deficiency stimulating simultaneously the metabolism of the plant. BIO-PROTAN®Microvega is a multi-function product performing at the same time as bio-stimulant (free amino acids are responsible for a rapid recovery in the event of stress) and deficiency corrector (balanced pool of micronutrients).
BIO-PROTAN®Microvega is suitable for soil fertigation and foliar application; however, we particularly recommend a foliar spray for bio-stimulation. The bio-stimulant effect depends from the molecular size of the amino acids contained in the product. Amino acids (the smallest organic molecules in the compound) are quickly absorbed by the leafs and tissues of the plant where they are used for the production of proteins and sugar, enzymes and plant growth regulators, increasing vegetative activity, stress resistance and quality of the agricultural production.
Beyond the positive influence on plant vegetative development and the recommendation to use Microvega amino acids particularly on stress situations, amino acids do interact with microelements as well. Amino acids are natural chelates able to ligate (“link”) with microelements and form a metal complex. Amino acids are also very effective in conveying the linked microelements through the cells to the sites of utilization, helping to overcome chemical and physical barriers of the leaf cuticle, the cell wall and the lymphatic system. Combining microelements and amino acids in foliar spray solutions leads to an increase of micronutrient-treatment efficacy and reduces the fertilizer application dose.
BIO-PROTAN®Microvega soil fertigation within a particular pH range preserves the mineral substances from insolubility and soil regression keeping the micronutrients available in the metabolic form mainly used by the plant.
BIO-PROTAN®Microvega provides microelements with high bioavailability and is therefore an indispensable support to basic fertilization in crops with high demand of essential micronutrients. We recommend BIO-PROTAN®Microvega to prevent general symptoms from micronutrient deficiencies in vegetable and industrial crops, to promote shoot development, increase the leaf greening and the colouring of fruits.
BIO-PROTAN®Microvega is water soluble without any precipitation that could clog filters and nozzles of the irrigation system. The product is free from any chemical component that could be harmful to the soil and crop.

|---|---|---|---|
| Fruit trees (stone fruits), wine and table grape | from vegetative regrowth to fruit set, 2-4 applications very 7-10 days |
2 L/ha | 5-10 L/ha |
| Vegetable and industrial crops (tomato, pepper) | from pre-flowering to fruit enlargement, 2-4 applications every 7-10 days |
2 L/ha | 5-10 L/ha |
| Greenhouse crops | from pre-flowering to fruit enlargement (vegetable crops) or during the whole crop cycle (leafy vegetables and flower crops), 2-4 applications every 7-10 days | 100-200 ml/hl | 5-10 L/ha |
Dilute BIO-PROTAN®Microvega before using it on plants. In case of inexperienced handling we recommend a preliminary test on small areas before extending the treatment to the entire culture. The dosages advised are purely indicative and may vary depending on crop, crop vegetative cycle, climatic conditions and average yields expected.
In the greenhouse and when mixed with sulphur and trace elements apply the lowest recommended dose.
With the exception of the olive grove avoid use in conjunction with copper, stannous, sulphur based products and mineral oils since the combination with free amino acids improves the absorption rate and can result in phytotoxicity.
Handling and storage
- Read carefully the safety data sheet before use.
- Undiluted product can be stored at room temperature and well-closed original packaging for minimum 2 years.
- In the case of longer storage, shake well before use.
