Category: Foliar Application · SKU: FG-LR-PMAX-500ML-001
Multi-function foliar nutrition for structural strength, stress tolerance, and crop resilience. PhotoMax delivers amino-chelated minerals the plant absorbs directly, supporting stronger plant structure, improved stress tolerance, and reduced pest vulnerability during high-pressure growth stages.
- Up to 90%+ mineral uptake via Triple-Fraction Chelation
- Thicker cell walls and stalk strength from high-dose calcium and boron
- Helps convert excess nitrates into protein, reducing pest attraction
- Amino acid-based stress tolerance against heat, leaf-roll, and flower drop
- Noticeable waxy sheen and deeper green typically within 48 hours

Why Structural Strength Matters
Most foliars just make the plant green. The problem is what they leave behind: raw nitrates sitting in the leaf tissue, creating sweet sap that signals dinner to every Aphid and Brown Planthopper in the field. That green color is actually a pest magnet.
PhotoMax works differently. Triple-Fraction Chelation (Amino, Fulvic, and Citric Acids) significantly improves mineral uptake compared to traditional sulfates, reducing the energy the plant spends on nutrient processing. Molybdenum then supports the conversion of raw nitrates into complex plant proteins the insects can't easily feed on.
In tropical heat, the amino acid base includes natural osmolytes that help the plant maintain water pressure (turgor) during extreme midday temperatures, preventing leaf-roll and flower drop.
The result is a crop that's structurally strong, metabolically clean, and heat-resilient. Best used alongside PhotoBoost: PhotoBoost drives photosynthetic speed, PhotoMax provides the structural fuel.
Dosage varies by crop. Dilute in water and spray as a fine mist onto leaves. See dosage table below for crop-specific rates.
| Crop | Dosage/Rai | Cost/Rai | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vegetables (Leafy) | 100-150 mL | ฿45-฿67.50 | Every 7 days |
| Rice & Small Grains | 200 mL | ฿90 | 3 times per season |
| Corn (Maize) | 200-250 mL | ฿90-฿112.50 | 2-3 times per season |
| Fruit Trees / Dragonfruit | 250-300 mL | ฿112.50-฿135 | Every 14 days |
- Measure the correct dosage for your crop (see dosage table).

Frequently Asked Questions
The Basics: Why Should I Switch?
Most foliars are just "liquid salt." They provide a quick green-up, but the plant has to spend a massive amount of energy (an "energy tax") to digest those synthetic salts. PhotoMax uses Triple-Fraction Chelation (Amino, Fulvic, and Citric Acids). The chelated form bypasses the plant's usual energy-intensive uptake process, so absorption is significantly faster and more complete. You'll see the difference in leaf thickness and waxiness, not just color.
Yes. The core of PhotoMax is a CERES-certified amino acid base. We use organic-compliant stabilizers and nutrient sources. It is designed to meet international organic standards (like OMRI/CERES), making it safe for premium export crops like organic rice or GAP-certified dragonfruit.
Protection: How Does It Fight Pests and Weather?
It's not magic - it's biochemistry. Pests like Brown Planthoppers and Aphids are attracted to "free nitrates" (undigested nitrogen) in the leaf sap. PhotoMax contains Molybdenum, which acts as a catalyst to turn that "bug-food" into complex plant proteins. By "cleaning" the leaf chemistry, you make your crop a very unattractive meal for sucking insects.
Definitely. PhotoMax contains specific amino acids like Proline and Glycine that act as "anti-stress" shields. They help the plant maintain "turgor" (internal water pressure). While your neighbor's crops are wilting in the 38 C sun, PhotoMax crops stay standing and keep growing.
Performance: Results and Timing
You'll see a "Visual Pop" within 48 hours - the leaves will look deeper green and have a waxy sheen. However, the real "Strength Result" takes about 5-7 days. That's when you'll feel the leaves getting thicker and the stalks becoming more rigid.
We call these the "Golden Windows":
Rice: The Booting stage (when the stem swells) is the most critical to prevent "blank" grains.
Corn: The V4-V6 stage (knee-high) determines your ear size potential.
Fruit: Apply during Fruit Set to prevent cracking and maximize sugar (Brix) levels.
Compatibility: Mixing and Safety
Generally, yes. Because our minerals (Calcium, Zinc, Magnesium) are "wrapped" in amino acids, they don't react or "fall out" like cheap minerals do. However, we always recommend a "Jar Test": mix a small amount in a bottle first. If it stays clear and doesn't clump, you're good to go.
No. At the recommended 1:50 dilution for drones, PhotoMax is very gentle. Because it's organic-based, it has a low "salt index," meaning it won't burn the leaf tips even in the concentrated mist used by UAVs.
In cheap fertilizers, yes, they fight. But in PhotoMax, they are chelated partners. Zinc drives the growth hormones to make the plant big, while Calcium builds the "skeleton" to keep it strong. This synergy prevents "floppy" growth and ensures your crop can carry a heavy weight without snapping.
Crop Compatibility: The Science of Growth
PhotoMax is designed to support the primary metabolic pathways across C3, C4, and CAM crop types. Because our formula focuses on the "Photosynthesis 5" minerals and protein synthesis, it works across the three main ways plants breathe and create energy:
C3 Plants (Rice, Soybeans, Fruit Trees): PhotoMax helps reduce "Photorespiration" (energy loss) during hot Thai afternoons, keeping the plant productive when it would normally stall.
C4 Plants (Corn, Sugarcane, Sorghum): These are "high-speed" plants. PhotoMax provides the Magnesium and Zinc needed to keep their high-velocity growth engine running without "hitting a wall."
CAM Plants (Dragonfruit, Pineapple, Succulents): These plants "breathe" at night to save water. Our amino-chelated formula is gentle enough for their unique skin and helps them store more energy during their daytime rest phase.
The Bottom Line: If your crop uses sunlight to grow, PhotoMax will help it do so more efficiently.
Planning & Support: How to Start
We don't believe in "one size fits all." There are two easy ways to get started:
Download our Crop Protocols: We have developed specific, stage-by-stage spray programs for Rice, Corn, Dragonfruit, and Durian. These guides show you exactly when to apply PhotoMax to hit the "Golden Windows" of your specific crop.
Talk to our Agronomists: Every farm is different. You can message us directly with a photo of your crop or your current fertilizer schedule. Our team will help you "slot in" PhotoMax to ensure you get the maximum ROI without wasting any product. We are here to help you plan for a record harvest, not just sell you a bottle.
