Metrop MAM is a highly concentrated liquid fertilizer specially designed for mother plants and plants in the extended vegetative phase. It provides an optimal balance of essential nutrients to ensure optimum health, vigor and regeneration of mother plants. These plants play a crucial role in the production of cuttings, and their proper maintenance is essential to ensure top-quality cuttings. Metrop MAM has been formulated to maximize the production of healthy germplasm, while preserving the vigor and longevity of mother plants.
Composition and nutrients
Metrop MAM features a balanced macro- and micro-nutrient composition, specially adapted to the needs of mother plants and plants in the extended growth phase. Its formulation helps maintain a constant growth rate while guaranteeing the production of strong, healthy cuttings.
-
Nitrogen (N): Essential for leaf and stem growth, nitrogen promotes strong, sustained vegetative growth. It helps maintain the continuous production of new plant tissue, which is crucial for mother plants.
-
Phosphorus (P): Phosphorus plays a key role in root formation and energy transport within the plant. It ensures solid root development, guaranteeing that the mother plant remains well anchored and able to supply nutrients to its cuttings.
-
Potassium (K): Potassium regulates the plant's water balance and improves resistance to stress. It also helps strengthen cell walls, resulting in stronger, higher-quality cuttings.
-
Calcium (Ca): Calcium is crucial for the formation of cell walls and the strength of stems and leaves. By providing calcium in an easily absorbable form, MAM ensures optimum structural strength, essential for healthy cuttings.
-
Magnesium (Mg): Magnesium is a key element in photosynthesis, being at the heart of the chlorophyll molecule. It promotes energy production in plants, ensuring continuous growth even in the prolonged vegetative phase.
-
Chelated micronutrients: Metrop MAM also contains micronutrients such as iron, zinc, copper and manganese in chelated form, for quick and easy absorption. These micronutrients are essential for various enzymatic and metabolic functions, ensuring optimal overall health of the mother plant.
Benefits of using Metrop MAM
-
Maintaining the vigor of mother plants: Metrop MAM is specifically formulated for mother plants, which require special care to remain productive over a long period. It ensures that mother plants do not suffer from nutrient deficiencies, which could affect their ability to produce quality cuttings.
-
Production of strong, healthy cuttings: Thanks to the balance of nutrients, MAM enables mother plants to produce strong cuttings, with a solid root system and good cell structure, guaranteeing rapid rooting and vigorous growth of new plants.
-
Optimized vegetative growth: The supply of nitrogen and micronutrients promotes rapid, dense growth of leaves and stems, resulting in a larger photosynthetic surface and greater production of cuttings.
-
Preventing deficiencies: Metrop MAM is designed to prevent nutritional deficiencies common in mother plants, such as calcium, magnesium or phosphorus deficiencies. These deficiencies can slow plant growth and reduce the quality of cuttings.
-
Improved resistance to stress: Mother plants are often subjected to frequent cutting cycles, which can put them under stress. MAM helps reinforce plant resistance to external aggressions, difficult environmental conditions (heat, drought) and pest attacks.
-
Concentrated formulation: Like all Metrop products, MAM is an extremely concentrated fertilizer, meaning that only a small amount is needed to achieve significant results. This makes it economical to use and highly effective.
Use and dosage
Metrop MAM is designed to be used throughout the life of mother plants, as well as on plants in a prolonged growth phase. It is suitable for soil, coco and hydroponic cultivation.
- Recommended dosage:
- For mother plants: Use 1 to 3 ml per liter of water, depending on the size and specific needs of the plants.
- For cuttings: When producing cuttings, the dosage can be reduced slightly to encourage rooting.
- Application: MAM can be used for both root watering and foliar spraying. It is perfectly soluble in water and can be used in automated irrigation systems or for manual watering.
Synergy with other Metrop products
Metrop MAM can be used in conjunction with other products in the Metrop range to maximize results throughout the crop cycle:
-
Metrop Calgreen: The addition of Calgreen in combination with MAM ensures an extra supply of calcium and magnesium, further improving plant structure and cuttings quality.
-
Metrop MR1: Used with MR1, it reinforces the vegetative growth phase by providing complete nutritional support, notably in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
-
Metrop AminoXtrem: Combined with AminoXtrem, MAM stimulates cell and root growth, increasing the production of new cells and reinforcing the overall health of mother plants.
Respect for the environment
Like all Metrop products, MAM is designed to respect the environment. It contains no heavy metals or harmful substances, ensuring that it does not pollute soil or groundwater. This makes it a sustainable choice for both professional growers and amateur gardeners keen to minimize their environmental impact.
Results observed with Metrop MAM
Users of Metrop MAM generally notice a significant improvement in the health of their mother plants. Plants become stronger, more vigorous and produce more and better quality cuttings. Cuttings root faster and grow more evenly when transplanted. Thanks to deficiency prevention, mother plants remain productive over a longer period, reducing the need for frequent renewal of source plants.
Conclusion
Metrop MAM is a highly specialized liquid fertilizer designed for mother plants and plants in a prolonged growth phase. Its balanced nutrient formulation ensures the health and vigour of mother plants, while optimizing the production of high-quality cuttings. Easy to use and compatible with different types of cultivation, MAM is an ideal choice for growers wishing to maintain healthy mother plants and maximize the quality and yield of their cuttings.
