Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
How can Bontera be applied?
With proper agitation, all of the products can be applied using any type of irrigation or spray equipment. Concentration, application rates, and number of applications per year may vary by type of crop.
Is Bontera a Fertiliser or a Pesticide?
There is a lot of conflicting information out there about these types of products, and many different explanations for what they do. The Bontera® products aren’t pesticides (plant protection products), but they also aren’t fertilizer (plant nutrition) products. Rather, the Bontera® range of products uniquely facilitate the uptake of existing and applied nutrients, enhances plant health, and increases plant’s resistance to stresses. Bontera® products do not protect the crop directly by killing pests and diseases, like pesticides do, but rather indirectly by strengthening the plant and enhancing natural processes.
