STEP ONE
First, initiation of symbiotic momentum begins with one or more of the following three options:
-
1. An application of SeedMaxx® on the seed.
-
2. A broadcast application of IgniteS2® prior to or at planting.
-
3. An in-furrow application of IgniteS2®.
Any of these applications will stimulate beneficial microbial populations, improve germination and early plant development, release insoluble nutrients and improve the uptake of applied fertilizers.
STEP TWO
Second, applications of FoliarBlend® in early vegetative stages will provide further momentum by increasing microbial activity on the leaf surface and in the soil via enhanced root exudation, improving plant structure and metabolism and boosting plant health. Overspray from the foliage that reaches the soil will add additional benefits, further stimulating beneficial microbial activity in the soil to increase nutrient uptake and suppress pathogen levels.
STEP THREE
Finally, when the crop enters the critical reproductive stage, late season applications of FoliarBlend® will further boost plant health and maintain production momentum to maximize yield with better grain and fruit fill and improved crop quality.
For certified organic operations, Ultra® should be used during all three critical stages of production to enhance yield and crop quality.
The importance of initiating and maintaining Symbiotic Momentum throughout the growing season cannot be overstated. By doing so, the increase in nutrient availability, getting more nutrients into the plant, and continually priming the plant’s metabolism to perform at optimum levels will result in healthier, higher yielding crops.
