It is rich in peptides 100% of vegetal origin and contains the exclusive peptide LRPP (Lateral Root Promoting Peptide), which has a strong and direct action on germination and roots development. It is useful for every kind of seed: wheat, corn, sunflower, soy, rapeseed. It is compatible with most phytosanitary products for seed treatments.

AminoSelenit – an innovative growth stimulant from the Arkop FoliarLab series of specialized products intended for application in field, orchard and vegetable cultivation. Owing to the proprietary technology based on the use of amino acids, selenium and other active components, AminoSelenit Bio provides effective stimulation of the plant, acting concurrently at the following three levels: Stress Protection Tech, Molecular Action and Growth Stimulation.

Quik-link is a biostimulant for fertigation containing micronutrients (Cu, Fe, Mo, Mn, Zn) and organic compounds biologically active. It is powered by LRPP, a signaling peptide - isolated by Italpollina - that promotes cells multiplication and rooting. It stimulates seeds germination and the growth of young plants. It improves lignification of plants. Complexed micronutrients and peptides sustain the growth of roots. Molybdenum is essential for vegetal development for its role in nitrate and phosphate conversion enzymes. It stimulates plant metabolism and helps it to overcome abiotic stress.

Ilex Envirosciences Crop Rooter® Plus is a highly concentrated NPK foliar feed formulated with 19 plant-derived amino acids to promote root development and maintain healthy plant growth in a range of arable crops. Crop Rooter® Plus also includes bioactive agents derived from Ascophyllum Nodosum seaweed including complex sugars to improve nutrient uptake and utilization.Timed foliar applications of Crop Rooter® Plus assist the effective uptake of nutrients leading to improved root and shoot development, even when soil reserves may be less accessible due to poor initial establishment or when cold, wet, cloddy soils hamper nutrient availability.

ALGATON is a N-P-K biostimulant made out of natural extracts of marine algae, enriched with Molybdenum. This product has a high stimulating power, because it contains algae extract that provides a high ratio of natural phytohormones (cytokinins, auxins, gibberellins, …), amino acids and carbohydrates (alginic acid, mannitol, laminarine, …) which, once applied, permeates the cellular tissues and has an influence in the plant’s physiological processes, stimulating its growth and blooming. ALGATON is recommended as a stimulant of the plant’s metabolic activity, because the elements it contains promote the process related with blooming, fruit formation and fruit ripening, and also helps to get over adverse conditions or stress situations. It also promotes the fruits homogeneity and their transport resistance. It is recommended to use ALGATON since sprouting, in pre-blooming, blooming and in the stages of higher development of the crop.

STIMULATE™ is a highly concentrated microbial liquid formulation of naturally occurring strains of beneficial microorganisms specifically selected to convert unavailable nutrients to usable forms and produce natural substances that work together to enhance soil and plant health. STIMULATE™ contains a unique rhizobial inoculant that improves nodulation and nitrogen utilization in legumes. STIMULATE™ can be applied to the seed, soil, or foliage at any growth stage with positive benefits. STIMULATE™ works continually from application to harvest to improve plant health and yield.

Cypher is a modified organic acid blend derived from plant active portions of lignin and leonardite ore. It is a patented product designed to condition soils and substrates which have lost momentum, become compacted or overloaded in bonded salts.

Incite contains phosphite which triggers the production of cis-Zeatin which is responsible for inducing primary and lateral root growth. It regularly increases root biomass by over 30% and improves nitrogen assimilation and nitrogen use efficiency. Pidolic acid is a signaling compound in nitrogen metabolism, increasing nitrogen assimilation, amino acid synthesis and protein production. It also primes plants to recover from stress once limiting factors are addressed.

A granular product based on a specialized plant extract, rich in amino acids, humic acid and growth promoting substances as well as organically chelated macro and micro nutrients.

T-Gro is a wettable powder concentrate of a soil borne Trichoderma asperellum strain, helping the plant to get a larger, healthier and more effective root system. T-Gro enhances and stimulates plant growth and helps to buffer plants from extreme conditions such as waterlogging, drought etc. T-Gro is also available, formulated in a graphite/talc lubricant. The product T-Gro Easy-Flow can be added to mechanical planters when planting treated or untreated row crop seeds.

RhizoVital product-line offers a range of biostimulating microbial inoculants, containing spores of the naturally occurring soil bacteria Bacillus velezensis or Bacillus atrophaeus. The bacteria germinate in the soil and release enzymes which stimulate nutrient mobilization. RhizoVital supports the availability of plant nutrients which can lead to an increase in yield response. Tolerance towards stress caused by unfavorable climatic conditions and field management can be improved. Use RhizoVital as an integral part of a future oriented production strategy. Bacillus velezensis (different strains) can also be provided as raw material (e.g. for seed coatings/treatments, fertilizer formulation, substrate addition etc.).

Motivate promotes earlier fruit coloration and maturity in a wide variety of crops, including apples, blackberries, blueberries, cantaloupes, cherries, grapes, peppers, pineapple, sugarcane, tobacco and tomatoes. It also aids in barrenberry control in blueberries and loosens apples, blackberries, cherries and walnuts for earlier, more efficient harvest. When applied as directed to cantaloupes, Motivate promotes fruit abscission (slipping). In the Pacific Northwest, it can also be used to increase dormant fruit bud hardiness and delayed spring bloom in sweet cherries. And in wheat and barley, Motivate shortens and strengthens stalks to reduce costly lodging.

AlgoVital Plus is a biostimulant based on brown algae (Ascophyllum nodosum). AlgoVital Plus increases the uptake of nutrients and water in horticulture and field crops. The product is commonly added on-farm to every spray mixture, to improve plant health and vitality. The algae extract in AlgoVital Plus contains several important substances, such as polysaccharides, alginates, mannitol, vitamins, minerals, main nutrients, and micronutrients. These ingredients bring decisive advantages for the plant such as protection against biotic and abiotic stress factors, increased compatibility with plant protection products and other beneficial effects for the development of the crop.

Azotofit / Azotohelp® is bioactivator for plants growth promotion and nutrition. It is based on N-fixing bacteria Azotobacter chroococcum.

Raiza® stimulates root development and improves the absorption of nutrients after transplanting and germination, at the start of each vegetative cycle of woody species, when crop recovery is necessary, or at times of maximum nutritional needs. Prepared with extracts of the seaplant Ascophyllum nodosum, totally soluble in water and enriched with free L-amino acids. Raiza® contains oligopeptides, polypeptides, alginates, mannitol, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides, natural growth hormones, betaines, polymines and vitamins. All of these components derive from special high-quality extracts of the seaplant Ascophyllum nodosum, maintaining their full activity and effectiveness.
