What is Flex Technology?
Aiva Horticulture’s foliar nutrition leverages cutting-edge Flex technology, featuring amide nitrogen complexes. While traditional foliar fertilisers depend on specific nutrients in solution or suspension form, the advanced Flex technology forms chains of amide nitrogen, carbon, and the chosen elements.

| Element | W/W | W/V | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amide nitrogen | (N) | 3.0% | 3.9% |
| Calcium | (CaO) | 11.2% | 14.6% |
| Boron | (B) | 0.2% | 0.26% |
| Amino acids | 0.3% | 0.4% |
Boron – to aid fertilisation, flowering, and fruit development. Key component in sugar movement around the plant
Amino acids – aid nutrient uptake and reduce abiotic stress.

Triad
| Element | W/W | W/V | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amide nitrogen | (N) | 2.0% | 2.3% |
| Sulphur | (SO3)) | 10.5% | 13.0% |
| Copper | (Cu) | 1.0% | 1.25% |
| Manganese | (Mn) | 4.0% | 5.0% |
| Zinc | (Zn) | 3.0% | 3.75% |
Copper – Lignin synthesis, allowing for stronger cell walls. Synthesis of enzymes and amino acids associated with plant defence response.
Zinc – essential for the activation and production of enzymes essential for metabolic processes within the plant, most importantly DNA and RNA synthesis.
Manganese – aiding the splitting of water using sunlight, ensuring photosynthesis in chlorophyll, supplying the plant energy for all these processes.
The Power of Amide Nitrogen Complexes
Aiva horticulture foliar nutrition utilises flex technology consisting of amide nitrogen complexes. Traditional foliar fertilisers typically rely on specific nutrients either held in solutions or suspensions as ionic salts. Whereas amide nitrogen complexes utilising flex technology create chains of amide nitrogen, carbon and the chosen elements. These amide nitrogen and carbon complexes are actively taken up by the leaf, as are the complexed nutrients. Creating a highly efficient delivery system for foliar nutrients.
2024 Triad Trial Data
Trials have been carried out in a range of crops in 2024 with results consistently showing the same thing. Flex technology increasing the uptake of chosen nutrients where applied against a control.
Vineyard Trial Site 2024 – Essex | Triad 1L/ha
Applying typically low plant mobility elements to increase natural plant resilience and “harder” growth. Increases were seen in the 3 main targeted elements:
– Manganese +63% – enzyme synthesis and photosynthetic action
– Copper +62% – lignin synthesis and cell wall strengthening
– Zinc +96% – activation and production of enzymes as well as DNA and RNA.
2024 Callos Trial Data
Callos 2L/ha
High quality calcium chloride based foliar feed containing Amide N, Calcium and Boron designed to treat calcium deficiencies:
– Calcium +9.9% – key component of
cell walls and cell membranes, poor mobility within the plant especially when transpiration rates are low.
Get in Touch!
As with all foliar applied nutrients, applications should be based on agronomic need and as part of a balanced and tailored nutrition programme for maximum results.
