Natural Resources Group Cyto-Gem 2-1-1

Natural Resources Group Cyto-Gem 2-1-1 is derived from fish and sea kelp called alga (Ascophyllum Nodostrum).The specialized extraction makes this product non-toxic and non-polluting. It is harmless with no addition of synthetic hormones making it suitable for all crops and applications including field crops, vegetable and flower gardens, orchards and turf grass. CYTO-GEM promotes balanced crop growth, improved crop quality and increased yields.

Functions: Plant Growth Regulator (PGR)

The Cyto-gem Advantage

The active ingredient in CYTO-GEM is a family of plant growth hormones called Cytokinins which impact various essential cellular processes such as cell differentiation and division. Cytokinins are naturally synthesized in the tips of plant roots and are essential at all stages of plant development from root and bud formation to stem and leaf development. As an all-natural product, CYTO-GEM also contains primary and secondary macronutrients, carbohydrates, amino acids and vitamins, important to plant nutrition. In addition, it contains an abundance of naturally chelating polysaccharides such as alginic acid which can form complexes with cations such as Cu, Fe, Mn, Mg and Ca. Likewise, mannitol, a sugar alcohol present in abundant

Features & Benefits

Benefits

CYTO-GEM is a natural plant growth regulator made by alkaline hydrolysis of the seaweed Ascophyllum Nodostrum. The main growth regulators contained in CYTO-GEM are the auxins, hormones, indoles and cytokinins. Cytokinins are cell division factors that encourage rapid cell division. The auxins and indole compounds are naturally occurring plant g r o w t h promoters for root development and bud initiation. CYTO-GEM also contains Alginic acid which is comprised of Vitamins A, B1, B12, C, D, E, K, Riboflavin, Niacin, Choline, Carotene, and Pantothene.

Proven Benefits

Healthy Root Development

  • Promotes lateral root development.
  • Enhances root growth, creating a well-developed root system which supports a healthy leaf canopy.

Healthy Turf

  • Enhances protein synthesis and plant enzymes for optimum photosynthesis production and respiration.
  • Promotes leaf health by enhancing stress resistance.
  • Promotes a healthy leaf canopy, which supports healthy root development.

Strong Plant Structure

  • Facilitates production of necessary sugars, proteins, and organic acids creating building blocks for healthy growth and development.
  • Helps stabilize cell membranes, proteins and chlorophyll in plants delaying aging or senescence.
  • Enhances plants ability to manufacture defensive proteins.
  • Stimulates production of phytoalexin, compounds known to combat fungal infections.
  • Improves ability to recover from environmental stress.
  • Helps generate peroxidase compounds, known to help fortify against pests and diseases.

Applications & Uses

Applicable Crop
Applications

CYTO-GEM may be applied to soil, plants, or seeds. SOIL USE: Apply 3 gallons per acre per growing season. Ground apply by mixing with fertilizers and injecting in irrigation water. FOLIAR USE: Apply 3 sprays, 7 to 14 days apart. In each spray use 1 to 1.5 gallons of CYTOGEM per acre.

TRANSPLANTS: Use 1 quart to 50 gallons of water before planting. HOME AND GARDEN: Use 1 to 2 ounces per gallon of water

Easy Application

CYTO-GEM is designed to s u p p l e m e n t a s o u n d t u r f management program. The timing and rates of application are critical to its effectiveness and will vary for specific turf varieties, as well as climatic and soil conditions. May be applied as a foliar application, fertigation or furrow run applications, and seed and transplant treatments. CYTOGEM is compatible with most fertilizers, fungicides and pesticides. In all cases, it is recommended that a jar test be made to determine the compatibility of CYTO-GEM with other materials before proceeding with high volume mixing. The product is safe and non-toxic when used as directed. Keep out of reach of children and pets! Do not inhale or digest. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. In case of contact, flush with water. If swallowed, drink water and consult a physician.

Rates: Apply every 30 days to optimize benefits. Use 1 oz. per 1000 sq. ft. as a foliar or 2 oz. per 1000 sq. ft. mixed with a wetting agent.
