Foliar Solutions
Superior nutrient delivery technology
FBS's foliar products deliver nutrients to plants via the stomatal openings. Unlike any other product on the market, our CarbonPower® technology is able to move through foliar barriers directly into the plant. Plants are able to absorb the formulated nutrients across the cellular structures and into the phloem. Nutrients are then distributed throughout the plant to where they are needed the most.

The Products
-
KAFÉ™- F
KAFÉ-F can be used on any crop where maximum foliar nutrient uptake and systemic movement is desired. KAFÉ-F has been designed to make NPK, secondary, and micronutrients more effective, helping growers maintain and increase yields without increasing NPK use rates. KAFÉ-F utilizes CarbonPower, our next-generation delivery system, to break the barriers that traditionally restrict foliar efficiency, including movement in the conducting tissue, cell to cell movement, reducing limits at the membrane, opening and flooding of the stomatal chamber, evaporation, coverage of the leaf surface and deposition of the spray droplet. -
Zicron™- F
Zicron-F uses our revolutionary new Zinc (Zn) delivery technology that penetrates the cuticle and translocates nutrients throughout the plant using proprietary CarbonPower technology. Zicron-F is a foliar technology designed to increase photosynthesis in plants by increasing chlorophyll density, thereby reducing chlorosis and leaf size. Higher rates of photosynthesis are a key for earlier growth in cool weather and stress moderation in hot weather. Click here for Zicron-F research information. -
PhotoGreen™- F
PhotoGreen-F uses next-generation nutrient and organic components to correct chlorosis symptoms due to Iron (Fe) or Manganese (Mn) deficiencies. PhotoGreen-F is formulated with highly efficient, CarbonPowered nutrients that promote chlorophyll formation for higher photosynthetic rates. Heightened rates of photosynthesis result in an increased production of carbohydrates by plants. Such deficiencies are common in many soils due to elevated pH levels. They are often aggravated by cold or wet soil conditions. This allows plants to perform all other functions at greater rates because carbohydrates serve as the main source of energy and are the main carbon material for the synthesis of cellulose, lipids, lignin, proteins, nucleic acids, etc. -
BounceBack™- F
BounceBack-F provides a highly available form of Calcium (Ca) to counteract environmental stresses. It reduces respiration rates, prevents root system damage, improves wilt recovery and delays senescence. BounceBack-F contains CarbonPower technology, which allows it to be readily absorbed by foliage, making the nutrients significantly more mobile within the plant through phloem mobility. -
Krebstart™- F
Krebstart-F is an energy transfer technology designed to promote strong plant growth under stress conditions, leading to earlier maturity and higher yields. Krebstart-F contains proprietary CarbonPower technology which allows Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) to be readily absorbed by foliage and makes the nutrients significantly more mobile within the plant. Phosphorus is a key component of ADP and ATP, which store and transfer energy. A crucial part of the structure of the phospholipids in cell membranes, Phosphorus is needed to assure proper membrane structure and function. Potassium is essential to maintain transpiration, moisture regulation, temperature moderation and protein formation. -
CellMate™- F
CellMate-F helps fortify cell walls and membranes with CarbonPowered Calcium (Ca) and Boron (B). The result is stronger cell walls, proper cell division, increased sugar transfer and improved quality and storability. Strong cell walls are key to healthy and strong plant growth, in addition to improving the quality of produce. The next-generation CarbonPower technology in CellMate-F allows it to be readily absorbed by leaves and translocated throughout the plant. This allows the nutrients to provide a more systemic and lasting benefit. -
Carbon Heart™-F
Carbon Heart-F is a foliar CarbonPower technology designed to improve yield, sizing, cellular strength and health of tuber and root crops. The CarbonPowered Calcium (Ca) and Boron (B) in Carbon Heart-F are proven to increase yields, support cell division and cell elongation, and improve cell wall integrity, leading to fewer incidents of hollow heart. Other benefits include better external and internal quality and improved storage life. Independent research showed for three years in a row that two foliar applications of Carbon Heart-F increased potato yields by 15 - 49% versus grower standard practices. This was accomplished with an effective 1 gallon per acre application of Carbon Heart-F. Potato quality was significantly enhanced due to a major reduction in hollow heart and internal brown center.

Boron Boost™- F
Boron Boost-F is a CarbonPower technology with highly available Boron (B) to support strong cell walls, better pollination and a healthier carbohydrate metabolism. The CarbonPower technology in Boron Boost-F contains CarbonPower technology allows it to be more readily absorbed by foliage and aggressively transported within the plant. Boron is required for all plant growth. It is involved along with Calcium (Ca) in cell wall structure and the movement of Calcium into the plant. Boron is essential in the actively growing regions of plants, such as root tips and in new leaf and bud development. Boron also increases flower production and retention, pollen tube elongation and germination, and seed and fruit development. The technology in Boron Boost-F results in lasting benefits beyond traditional performance. -
Manron™- F
Manron-F is a foliar-applied product designed to help correct Manganese (Mn) deficiencies on all crops. Because a “hidden hunger” for Manganese is so prevalent in higher pH soils, it can support stronger plant growth in many areas where deficiency symptoms are not evident. Manganese participates in the oxidation and reduction reactions of photosynthesis. It also is an important cofactor in the enzyme driven process of protein synthesis. The nutrients in Manron-F are uniquely formulated to be efficiently taken up by the foliage and translocated to all the parts of the plant where Manganese is needed.

Copron™- F
Copron-F is a foliar CarbonPower technology designed to correct Copper (Cu) deficiencies and support strong, healthy plant growth through proper photosynthesis, respiration and protein synthesis. The CarbonPower nutrients in Copron-F are uniquely formulated to be efficiently taken up by the foliage and translocated to all parts of the plant where copper is needed. This dramatically reduces the potential for phytotoxicity often associated with conventional foliar-applied Copper products. -
Ambrosia™- F
Ambrosia-F is specifically formulated with elicitors and essential nutrients for stress resistance and superior root development, leading to stronger, healthier growth. Ambrosia-F contains CarbonPower technology which allows it to be readily absorbed by foliage and provides enhanced nutritional mobility within the plant. Ambrosia-F is designed for foliar uptake and is highly synergistic with other FBS products. Application can be made anytime that root growth or stress relief is desired. -
GreenSurge™- F
GreenSurge-F is a CarbonPower technology designed to increase photosynthesis in plants by supporting chlorophyll formation. Other benefits include higher Brix readings, earliness of crop, and the correction of chlorosis symptoms due to Magnesium (Mg) deficiencies. Such deficiencies are common on calcareous soils due to an imbalance of Calcium (Ca) and Magnesium. The CarbonPower nutrients in GreenSurge-F are efficiently absorbed by leaves and rapidly redistributed in the plant to provide long-term correction of Magnesium deficiency.
