BORON 15 (PROLEAF) Foliar boron Boron is essential for ensuring root, shoot and seed development.

4

Involved in cell wall and pollen production. Deficiency leads to abnormal cell division and can result in the visual symptoms of stem splitting, stunting at growing points and puckered leaves. Heart rot in sugar beet where growing points die off.

Disruption of pollen production can also lead to problems with flowering and poor pod set.

Other functions of boron: • Carbohydrate and Nucleic Acid metabolism • Sugar transport within the plant (sugars are transported as borate complexes) • Enhanced uptake of Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium • The promotion of cell differentiation and maturity • Synthesis of cytokinins and the translocation of auxins.

MAXIM PPE Contains Pidolic Acid (PGA) biostimulant + multi nutrients Pidolic Acid is a signalling compound in nitrogen metabolism. Pidolic Acid induces two main responses in the plant: • Increases nitrogen assimilation, amino acid synthesis and protein production 12

• Primes plants to rapidly recover from stress once limiting factors are addressed. (e.g. drought, rapid growth periods).

Maxim PPE combines Pidolic Acid with key nutrients responsible for root nodule production (boron, molybdenum). Maxim PPE also contains: • Magnesium for growth and size of nodules • Manganese to reduce marsh spot • Zinc for Indole Acetic Acid (auxin) production - important in root growth • Sulphur for nodulation and protein synthesis.

PROSPER ST Phosphite-based seed treatment to maximise establishment Prosper ST is a phosphite-based biostimulant seed treatment that triggers gene expression and auxin production, signalling increased root growth. This typically results in a 30% increase in root biomass, allowing improved access to soil nutrients and moisture.

20

Increases rooting in cereals, oilseed rape, maize and grass for approximately 60 days after sowing. Sequence with Gro-Plan P (foliar phosphite) to extend the benefit on rooting.

Adjuvants Biostimulants Nutrients Pod Sealant Seed Treatment Spray Additives

SENATE Advanced formula pod sealant Polymer and surfactant co-formulation coats the pod and increases physical strength

26

Moisture collecting around the pod seam causes seed pods to open due to constant expansion and shrinking.

Senate coats the pods with a polymer mesh, maintaining their integrity and stopping premature opening and consequent seed losses.

Replum

Senate does not impair the natural crop drying process and does not affect seed maturity or quality.

Dehiscence zone

Senate is applied at the pod’s “green and bendy� stage, and once applied lasts for approximately 60 days.

Septum

This makes the pod less likely to shatter during ripening.

Contains

28

Softens hard water by effective and rapid sequestration of Ca++ and Mg++. These hard water cations are bound and rendered unavailable in a soluble form. Buffers the pH of spray water pH to optimum (pH6).

Increased spray deposition. Droplets do not coalesce and roll off leaf surface, spray retention is increased.

Contains an effective anti-foam to ease sprayer filling and reduce risk of contamination.

SPRAYFORCE DRT Drift reduction research results

30

Independent studies conducted by Silsoe Spray Applications Unit demonstrated that the inclusion of 1% of SprayForce DRT can reduce spray drift by up to 75%.

This is achieved by using polymers which reduce the number of fine spray droplets (<100 microns) most prone to drift from 19.5% to 9.5% thus increasing the droplet Volume Median Diameter (VMD) point. VMD refers to the midpoint droplet size, where half of the volume of spray is in droplets smaller, and half of the volume is in droplets larger than the mean.

WHIP (PROLEAF) Foliar boron & molybdenum Boron is essential for ensuring root, shoot and seed development: • Carbohydrate and Nucleic Acid metabolism • Sugar transport (sugars are transported as borate complexes) • Enhanced uptake of Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium 36

• Cell wall metabolism - in conjunction with Calcium • The promotion of cell differentiation and maturity • Synthesis of cytokinins and the translocation of auxins • Pollination and pollen viability, fruit formation and quality.

Molybdenum is essential for many plant functions: • Embryo maintenance (without it, embryos simply rot back, leaving aborted seed sites in the pod) • Nitrogen metabolism, converting nitrates (NO3) into amino acids • Oil production in oilseed rape (greater influence than B, S, Mg) • Conversion of inorganic phosphorus into organic forms in the plant.
