Key Attributes of Foliar Applied Products

•  The purpose of foliar feeding IS NOT to replace soil fertilization

•  Means of compensating for soil or environmentally induced nutrient deficiencies

•  Highly efficient and timely method of applying needed plant nutrients

•  Precise and efficient way to address micronutrient deficiencies

Key product benefits: •  Enhances crop’s ability to produce

more natural growth hormones •  Reduces early season stress •  Increases early season vigor •  Increases overall plant health

Radiate is a unique blend of IBA (Auxin) and Kinetin (Cytokinin)

It is designed to provide essential plant hormones in

the correct ratios to drive maximum root growth

It’s not just for corn and soybeans…

•  Alfalfa •  Corn •  Cotton •  Dry Beans •  Potatoes

•  Soybeans •  Sugar Beets •  Vegetable crops •  Wheat •  Others

…broadly labeled on over 50 crops

Auxin Influence

Leaf expansion

Vascular tissue differentiation

Propels root elongation

Cambium activity

Auxin biosynthesis site

Promotes formation of more lateral roots

& root hairs

www.landmark.com.au

Cytokinins

•  Synthesized in roots, developing embryos, young leaves and fruits

•  Stimulate cell division (cytokinesis) •  Promote shoot growth •  Push reproductive development •  Promote lateral bud growth •  Delay leaf senescence •  Promote nutrient mobilization

Several naturally occurring cytokinins, including kinetin

Application Guidelines

1.  Radiate performs best in acidic spray tank solutions (pH < 7.0).

2.  Pair it with LI 700 whenever possible. An LI 700 concentration of 0.125% v/v is sufficient if applying Radiate alone or only with other nutritionals. Adjuvant rate may need to be adjusted higher if herbicides or other crop protection components are in the mix.

3.  Radiate should be added to tank last.

4.  Rainfast in 2 hours

Inositol What is it?

•  Sugar-like carbohydrate or sugar alcohol

•  Naturally produced by most plants

•  Half the sweetness of table sugar (sucrose)
