UNTREATED

TREATED with INTRINSIC™

INTRINSIC ™ Benefits of INTRINSIC ™ compared to competitive products

Smart molecule designed to enhance seed germination, root growth, seedling vigor, stress resistance and yield.

1. Intrinsic™ is a simple organic molecule. 2. Intrinsic™ is produced in a laboratory ensuring consistent quality while humic/fulvic products are obtained from various natural sources with variable quality profiles. 3. Application rates are at least 100 times lower than competing products. 4. Compatible with fertilizer and other agrochemicals. 5. Non-hazardous with no transportation or usage restrictions. 6. Produces consistent results.

What to Expect • STRONGER ROOT GROWTH:

Intrinsic™ induces the Indole Butyric Acid (IBA) pathway resulting in higher levels of IBA in tissues and earlier, quicker, root growth and development. In addition, it induces synthesis of zeatin, a cytokinin that promotes shoot growth. The resulting more robust Intrinsic™ treated plants are better able to maintain strong growth under drought stress. • REDUCED TRANSPIRATION:

Intrinsic™ helps increase xylem pressure through positive water potential, and enhanced elasticity of the xylem. Intrinsic™ also helps to regulate stomatal function to reduce excess water loss. • INCREASED WATER USE EFFICIENCY:

Intrinsic™ combats drought induced changes in plants by inhibiting both ethylene synthesis and free radical formation. Ethylene and free radicals destabilize plant membranes, through fluidization and lipid peroxidation, resulting in water leakage and quicker wilting. Intrinsic™ treated plants exhibit greater water use efficiency and inherent resistance to these drought-induced changes.

• INCREASED NUTRIENT MOBILIZATION & ABSORPTION:

Intrinsic™ increases secretion of root exudates into the rhizosphere leading to increased bound nutrient mobilization, availability, and root interception. Intrinsic™ treated plants also show increased uptake of nutrients mobilized by mass flow. • INCREASED PERFORMANCE UNDER STRESS CONDITIONS:

Intrinsic™ has a simple molecular structure that allows for its activity to be unaffected by unfavourable conditions. Its ability to simultaneously upregulate desirable pathways and downregulate undesirable pathways allows plants to maximize their genetic potential under cold, wet or drought conditions. • INCREASED FUNCTION OVER A WIDE pH RANGE:

Intrinsic™ contains simple organic molecules that act as either weak acids or bases to pH buffer solutions. This property ensures that Intrinsic’ s function and efficacy are preserved over various pH ranges.

Active PRIME

PREMIUM SEED NUTRIENT DRESSING

STAGE 1

Protected seeds ----Healthy seedlings

Active PRIME

Active PRIME™

Promotes germination with significantly greater root growth for hardier seedlings.

Benefits of Active PRIME™ Enhances the seeds’ ability to germinate and quickly produce more and stronger roots. This results in hardier seedlings, more capable of withstanding less than ideal environmental conditions. Ultimately, the increased number of robust plants produces a higher crop yield. • ENHANCED GERMINATION:

Active PRIME™ induces synthesis of zeatin, a cytokinin, to promote shoot growth, resulting in faster and higher rates of germination. • STRONGER ROOT GROWTH:

Active PRIME™ induces the indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) pathway resulting in higher levels of IBA in tissues leading to earlier and quicker root growth and development. As a result, Active PRIME™ treated plants are better able to maintain strong growth under drought stress. • REDUCED TRANSPIRATION:

Active PRIME™ helps increase xylem pressure through positive water potential, and enhanced elasticity of the xylem, and helps to regulate stomatal function to reduce excess water loss. • INCREASED WATER USE EFFICIENCY:

Active PRIME™ combats drought induced changes in plants by inhibiting both ethylene synthesis and free radical formation. Ethylene and free radicals destabilize plant membranes, through fluidization and lipid peroxidation, resulting in water leakage and quicker wilting. Active PRIME™ treated plants exhibit greater water use efficiency and inherent resistance to these drought-induced changes.

• INCREASED NUTRIENT MOBILIZATION & ABSORPTION:

Active PRIME™ increases secretion of root exudates into the rhizosphere leading to increased bound nutrient mobilization, availability, and root interception. Active PRIME™ treated plants also show increased uptake of nutrients mobilized by mass flow. • INCREASED PERFORMANCE UNDER STRESS CONDITIONS:

Active PRIME™ benefits are unaffected by unfavourable conditions. It maintains the ability to simultaneously upregulate desirable pathways and downregulate undesirable pathways, allowing plants to maximize their genetic potential under cold, wet or drought conditions. • INCREASED FUNCTION OVER A WIDE pH RANGE:

Active PRIME™ contains simple organic molecules that act as either weak acids or bases to pH buffer solutions. This preserves Active PRIME’s function and efficacy over various pH ranges.

Active PRIME™ Why to use

Mixing instructions:

Active PRIME™ is a seed coating that contains nutrients and bioactive molecules to get your newly seeded crop off to a strong, healthy start. It improves germination, boosts root growth, and protects seeds and seedlings from unfavourable environmental conditions. The resulting robust young plants are primed to produce a greater yield.

1. Apply Active PRIME™ as a seed nutrient dressing at 1 qt per 542 lb of seed. 2. Seed coating can be done simultaneously with Active PRIME™ and compatible agrochemicals (see Compatibility Chart). 3. If using Active PRIME™ without additional agrochemicals, use equal amounts of water and Active PRIME™ (1:1) to sufficiently coat seeds. Calibrate equipment to release the required amount of the Active PRIME™ mixture based on seed flow rate. 4. Thoroughly mix seeds with the Active PRIME™ mixture. A colouring additive allows a visual check to ensure all seeds are uniformly coated. 5. Let the treated seeds air dry for 5-10 min before seeding.

When to use Prior to seeding wheat, canola, corn, barley, oat, flax, sunflower and vegetable seeds.

How to use Apply as a seed nutrient dressing to wheat, canola, corn, barley, oat, flax, sunflower and vegetable seeds at the rate of 1 qt per 542 lb of seed. Seed coating can be done simultaneously with Active PRIME™ and compatible chemicals (see compatibility chart). If applied alone, dilute with water (1:1 ratio) to ensure uniform coverage of seeds.

How it works Active PRIME™ is a dressing applied to seeds before planting. It contains nutrients, organic acids, and Active AgriScience’s proprietary Intrinsic™ activation formula. Active PRIME™ protects the seeds and allows the nutrients to be utilized, even in unfavourable conditions, producing an increased quantity and depth of roots. This results in more robust seedlings, healthier plants, higher quality crops and greater yields.

Active BUILD ™

Active BUILD

Promotes growth above and below ground while protecting young plants from stressors

Benefits of Active BUILD™ Active BUILD™ provides the nutrients that young plants need to continue strong, healthy growth and overcome the stress caused by rapid growth, herbicides, and unfavourable environmental conditions. Roots continue to deepen, while stalks strengthen and foliage increases, ultimately resulting in higher yields. • STRONGER GROWTH:

The high N-P-K concentration in Active BUILD™ is supplemented with boron, copper, manganese and zinc, supporting additional root growth, stronger stalks and increased leafing, even under drought stress. • REDUCED TRANSPIRATION:

Active BUILD™ helps increase xylem pressure through positive water potential, and enhanced elasticity of the xylem, and helps to regulate stomatal function to reduce excess water loss. • INCREASED WATER USE EFFICIENCY:

Active BUILD™ combats drought induced changes in plants by inhibiting both ethylene synthesis and free radical formation. Ethylene and free radicals destabilize plant membranes, through fluidization and lipid peroxidation, resulting in water leakage and quicker wilting. Active BUILD™ treated plants exhibit greater water use efficiency and inherent resistance to these drought-induced changes. • INCREASED NUTRIENT MOBILIZATION AND ABSORPTION:

Active BUILD™ provides nitrogen and potassium in easy-to-absorb complexes, and phosphorous is in two different forms. It increases secretion

of root exudates into the rhizosphere to improve bound nutrient mobilization, availability, and root interception. Treated plants show increased uptake of nutrients. • INCREASED PERFORMANCE UNDER STRESS CONDITIONS:

Active BUILD™ benefits are unaffected by unfavourable conditions. It maintains the ability to simultaneously upregulate desirable pathways and downregulate undesirable pathways, allowing plants to maximize their genetic potential under cold, wet or drought conditions. • INCREASED FUNCTION OVER A WIDE pH RANGE:

Active BUILD™ contains simple organic molecules that act as either weak acids or bases to pH buffer solutions. This preserves Active BUILD’s function and efficacy over various pH ranges.

Active BUILD ™ Why to use

Mixing instructions:

Watching those fields turn from brown to green is exciting, but those growth spurts take a lot of energy and can cause plant stress. Active BUILD™ provides a shot of much needed extra nutrients as well as support for photosynthesis and protection from drought.

Active BUILD™ is designed as an early crop fertilizer. It can be combined with other compatible agrochemicals (See Compatibility Chart). If the agrochemical is not listed, a compatibility test is required before mixing.) 1. Always start with a clean mixing tank. 2. Add the required amount of water to the mixing tank per label instructions. 3. Add agrochemicals, if desired, and mix well. Use enough water to flush the chemical handler after adding agrochemicals and before adding Active BUILD™ to avoid a reaction between concentrated forms of the products. 4. Add the required amount of Active BUILD™ and mix well. 5. Apply to crop fields. 6. If adding fungicides with sulfites, it is recommended that the agitator is kept running while spraying. If spraying is stopped before the mixture is fully applied, run the agitator for a minimum of 5-10 minutes before spraying is resumed.

When to use Herbicide timing: Wheat, oats: apply at BBCH 13-15 (3-5 leaf stage). Canola: apply at BBCH 12-14 (2-4 leaf stage). Soybean: apply at V1-V2 (first-second trifoliate). Peas, lentils and other pulse crops, potato, corn: apply at the 4-5 leaf stage. Flax: apply when plants have three sets of true leaves.

How to use Apply 1 qt per acre. For ground applications, mix with water at minimum volume of water at 5 gal per acre. For aerial applications, mix with water at minimum volume of water at 3 gal / acre.

How it works Active BUILD™ provides the highest nutrient concentration package available in a liquid mixture along with Active AgriScience’s proprietary Intrinsic™ activation formula. Nitrogen and potassium are provided in easy-to-absorb complexes, and phosphorous is in two different forms for greater absorption. Added organic acids enhance photosynthetic capacity, allowing plants to benefit from more energy. Active BUILD™ also reduces evapotranspiration, protecting plants from drought conditions.

Active FLOWER ™ How it works Active FLOWER™ contains nitrogen in the form of amine and micronutrients which together maintain high enzymatic and hormonal activity during the reproductive phase of plant growth. Potassium is provided to regulate anther dehiscence, pollen hydration/imbibition, and pollen tube growth. This ensures successful fertilization, and promotes uniform fruit size and quality. An easy to absorb boron/amine complex penetrates easily through cell membranes where needed, fostering pollen viability, seed set, carbohydrate and nucleic acid metabolism, cell differentiation and maturity, sugar transport, uptake of calcium, magnesium, and potassium, synthesis of cytokinins, translocation of auxins, and root tip initiation. A polyamine complex aids in pollen germination, hydration, viability, pollen tube growth, accumulation of secretory vesicles in pollen tubes, and fertility. It also attracts bees, minimizes abortive flowers, and increases fruit sets and yield.

Active COMPLETE™

Prepare crops for a high yield harvest by increasing fruit, pod, and seed production and quality

Benefits of Active COMPLETE™ Active COMPLETE™ provides the micronutrients needed for a strong finish to the plant reproductive phase, along with Active AgriScience’s proprietary Intrinsic™ activation formula. This results in greater and more uniform production of fruits, grains, and seeds, and overall, a higher yield. In addition, this preharvest fertilizer increases grain quality and seed nutrition. • INCREASED CROP VOLUME:

Active COMPLETE™ supports quicker and more uniform late season growth; husk and pod fill, fruit ripening, and seed maturation. • INCREASED QUALITY:

Active COMPLETE™ increases grain quality and seed nutrition. • REDUCED TRANSPIRATION:

Active COMPLETE™ increases xylem pressure through positive water potential, and enhanced elasticity of the xylem, and helps to regulate stomatal function to reduce excess water loss.

Active COMPLETE

• INCREASED WATER USE EFFICIENCY:

Active COMPLETE™combats drought induced changes in plants by inhibiting both ethylene synthesis and free radical formation. Ethylene and free radicals destabilize plant membranes, through fluidization and lipid peroxidation, resulting in water leakage and quicker wilting. Active COMPLETE™ treated plants exhibit greater water use efficiency and inherent resistance to these drought-induced changes.

• INCREASED NUTRIENT MOBILIZATION AND ABSORPTION:

Active COMPLETE™ provides nitrogen and potassium in easy-to-absorb complexes, and phosphorous in two different forms. This increases secretion of root exudates into the rhizosphere resulting in increased bound nutrient mobilization, availability, and root interception. Treated plants show improved nutrient uptake. • INCREASED PERFORMANCE UNDER STRESS CONDITIONS:

Active COMPLETE™ benefits are unaffected by unfavourable conditions. It maintains the ability to simultaneously upregulate desirable pathways and downregulate undesirable pathways, allowing plants to maximize their genetic potential under cold, wet or drought conditions. • PRESERVES PRODUCT EFFICACY AND FUNCTION OVER A WIDE pH RANGE:

Active COMPLETE™ contains simple organic molecules that act as either weak acids or bases. This buffering capacity preserves product efficacy and function over a wide pH range.

Active COMPLETE™ Why to use

How it works

Active COMPLETE™ is the last step in ensuring greater volume, size and quality of your crop. The application of these specially designed nutrients gives a boost to the final stages of the plant reproduction cycle, increasing fruit, pod and seed growth and nutritional quality.

Active COMPLETE™ provides potassium, zinc, manganese, and two forms of phosphorous as readily absorbed nutrients. This formulation fosters the plants’ natural biochemical pathways related to photosynthetic partitioning, allowing sufficient storage of carbohydrates produced during sunlight hours to support continued growth throughout the night. As a result, husks and pods fill, fruit ripens, and seeds mature more quickly and with greater uniformity with decreasing daylight, resulting in a higher yield. This process also increases the nutritional quality of the crop and the plants’ ability to resist disease.

When to use Wheat: full flowering, 50% of anthers mature, BBCH 60-65. Corn: milk stage, BBCH 60-65 or at herbicide timing. Soybean, other pulses: after pods are formed, V5-R2. Potatoes: when tubers are beginning to form or at herbicide timing. Tomatoes, vegetables: full flowering, 50% of anthers mature, BBCH 60-65. Fruit and nut trees: after fruit/pod formation and before ripening. Hops: when cones begin to form.

How to use Apply as a foliar spray at 0.5 - 1 qt per acre with a minimum of 5 gal water per acre for ground applications and 3 gal of water per acre for aerial applications. Spray early in the morning or late afternoon when the sun is low in the sky. Do not apply when air temperatures are above 85°F and avoid spraying on windy days.

Micronutrients Micronutrients are essential for plant growth and play an important role in balanced crop nutrition. A soil deficiency of any one of the micronutrients can limit growth, even when all other nutrients are present in adequate amounts.

Micronutrients

Benefits

Micronutrients

Although micronutrients are needed in smaller quantities than primary and secondary nutrients, they are essential for strong, healthy growth and high yields. Insufficiency of micronutrients in the soil can limit growth, even when all other nutrients are present in adequate amounts. Active Boron™, Active Copper™, Active Manganese™ and Active Zinc™ are foliar applied micronutrients for fast correction of identified micronutrient deficiencies. Also for use in blended fertilizers.
