CoreTect – Induced Stress Tolerance (IST) • Abiotic Stress–Merit helps the plant utilize energy more efficiently (NAD+ salvage pathway). The plant has enough energy to fight off the toxic effects of stress, without cutting into the energy needed for growth and flowering. • 2) Biotic Stress–Merit triggers the production of enzymes that help the plant fight disease.
