NUTRIPLANT®AG Product Technology

NUTRIPLANT® technology utilizes the latest scientific discoveries in biochemistry, agronomy, and chemical engineering.

NUTRIPLANT®AG Superior Quality

NUTRIPLANT® is made from the best quality raw materials, with NO processed animal parts, NO waste and NO GMO (genetically modified organisms).

NUTRIPLANT®AG Superior Quality

Each batch of product undergoes rigorous quality control procedures.

NUTRIPLANT®AG Superior Quality

The products are analyzed for physical properties and chemical composition.

Product performance is verified by a unique bioassay of biological activity.

NUTRIPLANT®AG Superior Quality

NUTRIPLANT® Root Promoter

Available in 2 forms:

Powder = Nutriplant SD for dry seeds

Liquid = Nutriplant SL for soaking seeds and for all transplants

Laboratory results

Corn not treated Corn treated

Seed Treatment increases the root hairs, crucial for water and nutrient uptake.

Naturally derived (from plants and minerals)

Foliar (goes on leaves)

Biostimulant (stimulates photosynthesis and

plant growth)

To prevent and overcome deficiencies

Product Description

NutriPlus

Amino acids, organic acids, and carbohydrates (to protect then minerals and make them more effective)

Small molecular weight (95-800) to enter the leaves and plant cells faster

Fast acting, 100% available to plants)

NutriPlus products are chelated/complexed with nature’s own chelates:

How Are Chelates Formed?

How Are Chelates Formed?

Natal Chelate= a mineral surrounded amino acids

NutriPlus products are chelated/complexed with nature’s own chelates:

NutriPlus

Metal

Amino acids, carboxylic acids, etc. Chelate

This means the minerals are protected and more effective.

• Stomata are open only part of the time

• Natural amino and carboxylic acids can enter via stomata and directly through leaf epidermis

How to Prevent or Overcome Nutrient Deficiencies?

Advantage of Foliar Fertilization over Soil Fertilization

Soil Application

No leachingActivate plant metabolism stimulating photosynthesis, uptake of water and nutrients

Foliar applications are faster acting and more efficient!

Nutrient Deficiencies

Visible deficiencies

Hidden deficiencies

GeneticPotential

Nutrient deficiency

By the time deficiencies are visible, yields have been reduced!

Prevent deficiencies with a regular maintenance program, or with frequent foliar analyses followed by application

of the appropriate nutrient(s).

Examples of Visible Deficiencies

Iron

Potassium

Zinc

By the time deficiencies are visible, yields have been reduced!

Magnesium and Zinc Deficiencies in Banana Leaves and Fruits

Zinc deficiencyMagnesium deficiency

Double - Zinc deficiency Quadruples - Zinc deficiency

When soil or climatic conditions are less than

ideal, even if soil fertilization is optimal:Too hot, too dry, too wet, poor soils, etc.

During stages of rapid plant growth

During critical stages of development, such as

flowering, fruit set, and fruit maturity when

deficiencies will cause yield reductions

When Are Foliar Applications Needed?

NutriPlus

Salt solutions (such as zinc sulfate)

Synthetic chelates (such as EDTA zinc)

Natural chelates NutriPlus™

NutriPlus™ NPK

Increases crop yield and quality through these modes of action:

I. Increased chlorophyll content and photosynthesis

II. Increased nutrient uptake through rootIII. Antioxidant activity to reduce abiotic stressIV. Elicitor activity to reduce biotic stress

How Do NUTRI Products Work?

Mode of Action INUTRIPLANT AG Enhances Two Critical Processes in Crop Physiology

1. Photosynthesis2. Nutrient uptake through roots

NUTRIPLANT AG Increases Chlorophyll Development

Photosynthesis is how the plant traps energy

from the sun.

Sources: Cotton and rice data from University of Arkansas. Tea data from UPASI Tea Research Foundation

Crop Photosynthesis Increase

(% over Control)

Yield Increase

(% over Control)

Cotton 24% 22%

Rice 34% 16%

Tea 15% 8%

NUTRIPLANT AG Enhances Photosynthesis

Mode of Action IIIncreased Absorption of Nutrients by Roots

Plants with foliar applications of NUTRIPLANT AG absorbed 56% more Mn, 200% more Fe and Zn, and 370% more Cu

NUTRIPLANT AG Increases Absorption of Nutrients by Roots

47

Even with optimal photosynthesis and nutrient uptake,

crops do not reach their full genetic potential due to

STRESS.STRESS.

Crops produce only 24% of their yield potential.65% of the yield is lost to abiotic stress11% to biotic stress

Mode of Action III

Abiotic Stress(Extreme temperatures, UV radiation, drought, salinity, etc.)

65%

11%

Abiotic stress:

• High temperatures

• Excessive UV radiation

• Excessive light

• Ozone

• Drought

• Root water logging/axphixiation

• Low temperatures

• Freezing

• Wind

• Nutrient deficiency

• Salinity

• Too much shade / light deficiency

• Heavy metals

Abiotic Stress Includes Photooxidation(Damage Caused by ‘Free radical Oxygen’)

Occurs in crops when there is excess light

Photosynthesis is reduced, resulting in

reduced productivity

Leaves may turn yellow, and drop early

where the generation of chemical oxidative species

exceeds the capacity to produce antioxidants.
