Sugar Express 4-10-40

Description

Sugar Express® 4-10-40 is a specialty crop-finishing foliar fertilizer manufactured by Miller Chemical. Engineered specifically for application during late vegetative growth through fruit development and ripening, its ultra-high potassium ratio accelerates carbohydrate transport and sugar production in plants. Fully water-soluble, it delivers immediate nutrient uptake to enhance brix levels, post-harvest shelf life, and crop quality.

Key Features & Benefits

• High-Potassium Crop Finisher: 4-10-40 formulation packed with 40% soluble potash ($K_2O$) to drive sugar production and fruit swelling.

• Rapid Foliar Absorption: 100% water-soluble formula ensures fast entry through leaves during critical finishing stages.

• Enhanced Quality & Color: Improves crop uniform sizing, sugar content (brix), color intensity, and overall yield appeal.

• Chelated Micronutrients: Enriched with essential trace elements (Boron, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Zinc, and Molybdenum) to prevent late-season deficiencies.

• Tank-Mix Compatible: Easily integrates with most conventional plant protection sprays and nutrients.

Target Crops & Usage

• Fruit Crops: Citrus, melons, grapes, tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, and pineapples.

• Root & Tuber Crops: Potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and onions.

• Tree & Field Crops: Tree fruits, nuts, corn, and commercial vegetables.

Application Instructions & Dosage

• Foliar Application: Apply 2.5 kg to 5 kg per hectare (approx. 15–30 g per 10 L of water or 1–2 tablespoons per 16 L knapsack sprayer) depending on crop requirements.

• Timing: Begin applications during early fruit set/fill or tuber formation and repeat at 7- to 14-day intervals leading up to harvest.

• Mixing Instructions: Dissolve fully in clean water with good tank agitation before applying. For maximum absorption, apply during cooler hours (early morning or late afternoon).
