Levity Crop Science Elona

Elona, is a pioneering new product using Levity’s ‘Catalyst Technology’ to deliver a highly efficient form of Manganese (Mn) together with Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu) and Magnesium (Mg) to optimize photosynthesis. In addition Elona also contains Amine nitrogen stabilized with ‘LimiN Chemistry’, to encourage robust shoot growth, improved rooting and strong reproductive growth.

Product Highlights

Growth Partitioning

  • Modern cereal varieties are bred to be short and high yielding, but when we feed them conventional nitrogen inputs they begin to ‘stretch’ becoming increasingly vegetative and at risk of lodging. This is a response to nitrates, which make plants synthesize higher levels of auxin, as they increase in leaves.
  • Elona contains Levity’s ‘LimiN Tehnology’ that provides stabilized amine nitrogen (SAN). Exposure to this is proven in research to alter where crops allocate growth through process known as ‘growth partitioning’. Small applications of Elona alter the shape of the crop increasing: root length, tiller numbers, tiller thickness, and leaf position.
  • This altered growth habit directly impacts on yield potential, forming a crop that is more able to support higher level of grain.

A Winning Combination

  • The combination of ‘Catalyst Technology’ and LimiN Chemistry’ together with essential micronutrients improves leaf chlorophyll content with research demonstrating increases in photosynthesis greater than 20%.

Elona

  • The use of ‘Elona’, Levity’s foliar nutrition product containing the proprietary Stabilized Amine Nitrogen (SAN) Technology ‘LimiN’ alongside the common crop nutrients found to be deficient in cereals crops (Manganese, Copper, Zinc and Magnesium) can help to manage crop growth in favor of the plant parts (tillers/roots) which will support higher yields later on. Whilst at the same time research has shown the use of Elona on cereal crops can improve tiller base diameter which may aid lodging resistance (Marks et al, 2020).
  • Therefore, consider the use of Elona at 1.5-3l/ha alongside crop applied fungicides on Spring Barley to help plants put growth in the right place whilst also supplying those essential nutrients traditionally found to be limiting in UK crops to maximize yields later on.
