- What is Pidolic acid and what does it do?
Pidolic acid is a signaling compound at the heart of the nitrogen assimilation process.
Normal conditions
During the nitrogen assimilation cycle ammonia is used to form Glutamine which is then used as a building block in many Amino acids. Amino Acids are used by the plant among other things to construct protein and nucleic acid. When this cycle is in equilibrium growth and respiration occur unimpeded. Pidolic acid is a signaling compound right at the heart of the nitrogen assimilation cycle. Under normal conditions an application of pidolic acid in Nutrino Pro will maximize the production of glutamic acid and glutamine by increasing the rate of nitrogen assimilation.
Stressed conditions
Lack of Pidolic acid signals to the plant that it is under stress from temperature, water or nutrient related causes. Toxic ammonia accumulation will begin and the plant will catabolise its own reserves so that respiration can continue, which is when we see symptoms such as yellowing of leaves. Higher concentrations of Pidolic acid will allow the plant to continue to grow during short periods of stressful weather.

- What is R100 and what does it do?
- R100 biostimulant contains a patented combination of two disubstituted urea compounds (DPU) and gamma polyglutamic acid.
- DPU boosts cytokinin levels in tissues with resulting increased cell division and growth.
- Gamma-PGA binds to foliar applied cations to improve uptake.
