Nutri-Key Cobalt Shuttle™
Sometimes, micronutrients are required in such small amounts that it is almost impossible to conceive the magnitude of their effect. Cobalt is one of them.
Cobalt plays a crucial role in crop health and productivity, impacting soil life, crop health, productivity, and legume root performance. It can also impact your bottom line because your access to free nitrogen from the atmosphere is limited in the absence of cobalt. Cobalt is missing in over half of the soils we test around the world.
Here are the key benefits of this hugely neglected mineral.
-
Cobalt is required for nitrogenase, the enzyme that facilitates nitrogen fixation
-
Cobalt deficiency impacts nodulation on legumes
- Cobalt is a critical co-factor in the plant production of cytokinins - the hormone impacting fruit set and retention.
- Cobalt is also required for the auxins that determine leaf and root size.
- Cobalt promotes crop quality
- Cobalt is the building block for vitamin B12 - a proven plant growth promoter.
Key Performance

Home Garden Application: Dilute 2 mL per 9 L watering can and apply the diluted mix at a rate of 1 litre per square metre. Do not apply more than 6 times per year without demonstrated trace element requirement.
Stir well before use. Rates and frequencies should be adjusted according to crop monitoring. Where higher water rates are required for good foliar coverage, do not exceed maximum product rate per hectare. Sensitive foliage or plants should be test sprayed prior to full scale application. Ensure suitable spray conditions (e.g. temperature, humidity, wind-speed), prior to foliar application. Compatibility and/or performance cannot be guaranteed when combined with other products. Jar test for compatibility and spray test on small area before wide-spread use
Store in a cool dry area out of direct sunlight. This product has been tested to store safely down to 5°C. Crystallisation or sedimentation may occur below 5°C. Do not pre-mix or store in diluted form. Seal lid/cap immediately after use
Avoid spraying close to harvest if produce is susceptible to staining. Note: Product in 1000 L tanks may weigh over 1 tonne. Forklift with 2 tonne lifting capacity is recommended
