Product Description Nutriplant AG is a foliar nutritional supplement to enhance crop growth
Stress Reduces Yields Stress Reduces Yields According to Bray1 et al., crops produce only 24% of their yield potential 1 Mean of 6 crops: barley, maize, potatoes, soybeans, sugar beets, wheat Bray, Bailey-Serres and Weretilnyk. 2000. Responses to abiotic stresses. In: W Gruissem, B. Biology of Plants. American Society of Plant Physiologists, Rockville, MD, pp 1158–1249.
Stress Reduces Yields By reducing the effects of abiotic and biotic stress, Nutriplant AG increases both yield and quality of crops
Stress Reduces Yields Modes of Action • Increases photosynthesis • Improves uptake of nutrients through the root system • High antioxidant activity to reduce the effects of free radicals • Up-regulates genes involved in plant response to abiotic and biotic stress • Reduces negative effects of abiotic stress of heat, freezing and drought • Reduces negative effects of plant diseases • Stimulates secondary metabolic pathway of plants to improve crop quality
Nutriplant AG increases photosynthesis Increased photosynthesis results in increased crop yields
Increases Photosynthesis Field Results Nutriplant AG increased photosynthesis by an average of 16%. Higher photosynthesis results in higher yields. Source: Cotton and rice data from the University of Arkansas, USA Tea data from the UPASI Tea Research Foundation, India
Nutriplant AG significantly increased the uptake of nutrients through the roots Better nutrient uptake improves plant growth and yield
