  18. What is Ratchet? Ratchet is EMD’s patented, foliar applied LCO Promoter Technology for corn and soybeans. Formulated for ease of use and compatibility with post-emerge applications, Ratchet enhances plant growth and photosynthesis ensuring the crop better realizes its performance potential.

  19. Ratchet Benefits Benefits: • Easy and convenient to use – apply with your post emergence application • Enhanced leaf area index for larger leaves and improved photosynthesis to enhance plant growth. • Earlier canopy closure conserves soil moisture and reduces weed pressure. • A healthier plant for improved stress tolerance and performance
