100% wine and fruit vinegar, natural plant strengthener at 9% acidity for agronomic use — certified for organic farming.
100% wine and fruit vinegar at 9% total acidity. Ready-to-use 1000 ml spray that lowers water pH and improves nutrient uptake in organic treatments. Certified for organic farming.
Features
Aceto Leader is a 100% wine and fruit vinegar produced exclusively by acetic fermentation of grapes and fruit, with a total acidity of 9 grams per 100 millilitres. It is classified as a plant strengthener: a substance of natural origin that improves plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stress.
How it works: the natural acidity lowers water pH, improving root uptake of nutrients and increasing the effectiveness of organic treatments (some products lose activity in alkaline solutions). It works by protecting plants from pest damage and unwanted weed growth, without leaving residues.
Apply it undiluted. Shake the bottle well before use. Take care on the surfaces you spray: vinegar can damage kerb stones, marble, and similar surfaces.

Can Aceto damage my garden?
Vinegar can affect certain surfaces such as kerb stones, marble, and other porous materials. Before treating a large area, test on a small hidden spot first.
