How it Works
Lithovit® is the fi rst CO2 foliar fertilizer that can be used
successfully outdoors as well as under glass. It consists of
calcium carbonate supplemented by numerous important
micro-nutrients.
Most Lithovit® particles are so small (< 10 μm) that they can be absorbed directly through the stomata of the
plant‘s foliage. Inside the leaves, the Lithovit® particles
break down and release CO2 in particular, but also other
substances as well.
Diagrammatic representation of how Lithovi®t works
 The low CO2 content of normal air (0.04 vol.%) means that
most cultivated plants fail to achieve an optimum level of
photosynthesis. Assuming that temperature conditions are
favourable and there is a suffi cient supply of nutrients and
water, the maximum
level of photosynthesis
is achieved at around
0.1 vol.% CO2.
The use of the Lithovit®
CO2 outdoor fertilizer
can thus improve the
photosynthesis performance.
In addition, the
effect is further enhanced
by the micronutrients
contained in
Lithovit®.
