It’s a fruitful way (no pun intended) for the two companies to give back to the areas that surround the citrus industry. The core message of the promotion is to educate home growers and gardeners about the importance of plant and tree nutrition, with an emphasis on battling citrus tree diseases like citrus canker.

Plants and trees are no different than people or animals when it comes to the importance of good nutrition. Like the human body has the ability to fight off infection, plants and trees have similar built-in protective mechanisms to help fight off disease.

After much demand KeyPlex Direct is introducing KeyPlex Citrus HG, which is a consumer version of KeyPlex’s highly regarded micronutrient formulation that’s been used by commercial citrus growers throughout the state of Florida.

Using KeyPlex Citrus HG as directed can:

• Boost your citrus trees’ growth
• Increase its fruit yield
• Foster your citrus trees’ health and vigor
• Trigger your citrus trees’ defense mechanisms
• May reduce the impact of environmental stresses like freeze and drought on your citrus trees
