PhiteMode
Natural Plant Defense Through Phosphite Nutrition
PhiteMode is a concentrated phosphite fertilizer designed to support plant resilience during periods of environmental and disease pressure. Its 1-24-22 analysis delivers phosphorus and potassium in a highly available liquid form to help maintain strong plant nutrition when crops are under stress.
PhiteMode supplies phosphite-based phosphorus from ammonium phosphite, potassium phosphite, and phosphorous acid. Phosphite ions are readily taken up through plant foliage and may be used directly by the plant or undergo a degree of conversion to phosphate. This makes PhiteMode a practical nutritional tool for supporting natural plant response and overall crop resilience.
With 22% soluble potash, PhiteMode also supplies potassium to support water regulation, nutrient movement, carbohydrate transport, and other processes that become especially important during periods of crop stress. Used as part of a complete fertility program, PhiteMode provides targeted nutrition when crops need additional support.
Key Benefits
- Supports natural plant defense: phosphite nutrition helps support the plant's natural response during periods of environmental and disease pressure.
- Efficient foliar uptake: phosphite ions are readily taken up through plant foliage, providing a flexible source of supplemental phosphorus nutrition.
- Stress-period nutrition: supplies concentrated phosphorus and potassium when crop demand and environmental pressure are high.
- Supports nutrient and sugar movement: potassium plays an important role in water regulation, carbohydrate transport, and overall plant function.
- Flexible application: designed for both foliar and fertigation applications across a wide range of cropping systems.
- Complements a complete fertility program: provides targeted supplemental nutrition based on crop needs, field conditions, and plant growth stage.

Use Recommendations
For foliar applications, apply 32–64 oz per acre. Repeat applications as needed, considering plant growth stage, crop requirements, environmental conditions, and overall plant nutritional status.
For fertigation applications, apply 64 oz to 1 gallon per acre. PhiteMode should be used to supplement a complete fertility program based on soil testing, tissue analysis, crop requirements, and field conditions.
Do not apply with copper products.
A compatibility jar test is recommended before tank mixing. Mix PhiteMode thoroughly before use and maintain agitation while adding the product to the spray solution.
Why Phosphite?
Phosphite is a reduced form of phosphorus derived from phosphorous acid. Unlike conventional phosphate fertility, phosphite has distinct chemical properties and behavior within the plant. Following foliar application, phosphite ions can be taken up directly through plant tissue and transported within the plant.
This combination of efficient foliar uptake and concentrated phosphorus and potassium nutrition makes PhiteMode especially useful when the goal is to support plant function and resilience during demanding portions of the growing season.
