EVERY BUSHEL HARVESTED HAS A CONSUMER ENJOYED STORY ™
Our business is and has always been about challenging the status quo by investigat-
ing new technologies and cultural practices and making them mainstream. With our
strong emphasis moving forward on getting our growers closer to consumers we
have taken it upon ourselves to continue to search out and identify technologies that
have a fit, agronomically and economically.
When we can do that, and it involves a sustainability story as well, it empowers
growers to have a positive connection with consumers into the future. Couple that
with an increased requirement in our marketplace for seed safety, season-long
feeding of plants, and supporting the biology of the soil for enhanced soil health, the
solutions we offer have checked off all these boxes in our due diligence process.
Today, it is more important than ever before to help connect our progressive growers
to technologies that not only allow them to be more successful in crop production,
but also help them to do it in a fashion that is better for their land, and the long-term
sustainability of the earth. Healthy soils, healthy plants, healthy economics — we
can’t wait to get more growers involved.

Removal 4.45 2.05 7.25 0.65 NA NA The guidelines in nutrient uptake and removal values in this chart are general estimates. They are based on typical nutrient concentrations and yields for good growing conditions in Western Canada. Crop uptake and removal studies have been shown to vary 15% either way of the above listed numbers for different crops. Actual uptake and removal will vary with crop yield, crop variety and soil fertility from year to year. This chart is to accompany an in-depth soil analysis from an accredited lab. Crop fertility requirements will differ from these nutrient removal values. Crops are not able to extract all available plant nutrients from the soil, and fertilizers are not 100% efficient. For any given yield, the total nutrient supply in the soil (soil plus added fertilizer) will be somewhat greater than the amount removed by the crop. The best way to determine fertilizer requirements is regular soil and plant tissue analysis accompanied with a good Crop Nutrient Uptake and Removal Chart. Crop uptake and removal rates will vary by variety. Newer varieties and hybrid crops may have a more aggressive nutrient demand.

They are based on typical nutrient concentrations and yields for good growing conditions in Western Canada. Crop uptake and removal studies have been shown to vary 15% either way of the above listed numbers for different crops. Actual uptake and removal will vary with crop yield, crop variety and soil fertility from year to year. This chart is to accompany an in-depth soil analysis from an accredited lab. Crop fertility requirements will differ from these nutrient removal values. Crops are not able to extract all available plant nutrients from the soil, and fertilizers are not 100% efficient. For any given yield, the total nutrient supply in the soil (soil plus added fertilizer) will be somewhat greater than the amount removed by the crop. The best way to determine fertilizer requirements is regular soil and plant tissue analysis accompanied with a good Crop Nutrient Uptake and Removal Chart. Crop uptake and removal rates will vary by variety. Newer varieties and hybrid crops may have a more aggressive nutrient demand.

They are based on typical nutrient concentrations and yields for good growing conditions in Western Canada. Crop uptake and removal studies have been shown to vary 15% either way of the above listed numbers for different crops. Actual uptake and removal will vary with crop yield, crop variety and soil fertility from year to year. This chart is to accompany an in-depth soil analysis from an accredited lab. Crop fertility requirements will differ from these nutrient removal values. Crops are not able to extract all available plant nutrients from the soil, and fertilizers are not 100% efficient. For any given yield, the total nutrient supply in the soil (soil plus added fertilizer) will be somewhat greater than the amount removed by the crop. The best way to determine fertilizer requirements is regular soil and plant tissue analysis accompanied with a good Crop Nutrient Uptake and Removal Chart. Crop uptake and removal rates will vary by variety. Newer varieties and hybrid crops may have a more aggressive nutrient demand.

For any given yield, the total nutrient supply in the soil (soil plus added fertilizer) will be somewhat greater than the amount removed by the crop. The best way to determine fertilizer requirements is regular soil and plant tissue analysis accompanied with a good Crop Nutrient Uptake and Removal Chart. Crop uptake and removal rates will vary by variety. Newer varieties and hybrid crops may have a more aggressive nutrient demand.

Actual uptake and removal will vary with crop yield, crop variety and soil fertility from year to year. This chart is to accompany an in-depth soil analysis from an accredited lab. Crop fertility requirements will differ from these nutrient removal values. Crops are not able to extract all available plant nutrients from the soil, and fertilizers are not 100% efficient.

BASIC
There can be a wide variance between soils, even within the same field. Some soils have a higher potential for losses based on the pH.
Less potential losses are associated with low pH soils than high pH, due to the amount of Hydrogen available in each soil.
Why Soil pH is important
Considerations of Hydrolysis• Soil pH • Soil Moisture• Soil Temperature ( - 20ºC)• Thatch Cover — 20-30 times higher urease concentration than underlying soil*• Placement & Concentration
* https://umanitoba.ca/faculties/afs/agronomists_conf/media/Fernandez_NitrogenAdditivesWinnipegDec152016.pdf
Considerations of Nitrification losses• Soil type (CEC)• Soil moisture• Soil temperature: Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter bacteria will remain active in soil as low as +4ºC
17© 2020 Taurus Agricultural Marketing Inc.
Volatilization
– 8 – Nitrogen Management Strategies
VOLATILIZATION
AMMONIA VOLATILIZATION• If this conversion takes place on
or near soil surface, losses are highest
• Urease enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea into carbon dioxide and ammonia
• NH3 is extremely unstable and will try to get back into the atmosphere as a gas once the process begins
• Up to 50% of Nitrogen can be lost due to Ammonia volatilization

– 14 – Nitrogen Management Strategies
POTENTIAL LOSS MECHANISMS of NITRATE
• Denitrification is the process where bacteria strip Oxygen from Nitrate and release N2 gas into atmosphere
• Denitrification favors conditions of saturated/water logged soils
• Denitrification favors low oxygen or heavy clay soils (CEC > 23)
• Leaching occurs when negatively charged Nitrate (cannot bind to soil particle) is moved below the plant’s root zone by water
• Leaching is most common in course textured soil (sandy soil) (CEC < 10)
• Leaching favors conditions of heavy rainfall when in Nitrate form

Removal 4.45 2.05 7.25 0.65 NA NA The guidelines in nutrient uptake and removal values in this chart are general estimates. They are based on typical nutrient concentrations and yields for good growing conditions in Western Canada. Crop uptake and removal studies have been shown to vary 15% either way of the above listed numbers for different crops. Actual uptake and removal will vary with crop yield, crop variety and soil fertility from year to year. This chart is to accompany an in-depth soil analysis from an accredited lab. Crop fertility requirements will differ from these nutrient removal values. Crops are not able to extract all available plant nutrients from the soil, and fertilizers are not 100% efficient. For any given yield, the total nutrient supply in the soil (soil plus added fertilizer) will be somewhat greater than the amount removed by the crop. The best way to determine fertilizer requirements is regular soil and plant tissue analysis accompanied with a good Crop Nutrient Uptake and Removal Chart. Crop uptake and removal rates will vary by variety. Newer varieties and hybrid crops may have a more aggressive nutrient demand.

They are based on typical nutrient concentrations and yields for good growing conditions in Western Canada. Crop uptake and removal studies have been shown to vary 15% either way of the above listed numbers for different crops. Actual uptake and removal will vary with crop yield, crop variety and soil fertility from year to year. This chart is to accompany an in-depth soil analysis from an accredited lab. Crop fertility requirements will differ from these nutrient removal values. Crops are not able to extract all available plant nutrients from the soil, and fertilizers are not 100% efficient. For any given yield, the total nutrient supply in the soil (soil plus added fertilizer) will be somewhat greater than the amount removed by the crop. The best way to determine fertilizer requirements is regular soil and plant tissue analysis accompanied with a good Crop Nutrient Uptake and Removal Chart. Crop uptake and removal rates will vary by variety. Newer varieties and hybrid crops may have a more aggressive nutrient demand.

They are based on typical nutrient concentrations and yields for good growing conditions in Western Canada. Crop uptake and removal studies have been shown to vary 15% either way of the above listed numbers for different crops. Actual uptake and removal will vary with crop yield, crop variety and soil fertility from year to year. This chart is to accompany an in-depth soil analysis from an accredited lab. Crop fertility requirements will differ from these nutrient removal values. Crops are not able to extract all available plant nutrients from the soil, and fertilizers are not 100% efficient. For any given yield, the total nutrient supply in the soil (soil plus added fertilizer) will be somewhat greater than the amount removed by the crop. The best way to determine fertilizer requirements is regular soil and plant tissue analysis accompanied with a good Crop Nutrient Uptake and Removal Chart. Crop uptake and removal rates will vary by variety. Newer varieties and hybrid crops may have a more aggressive nutrient demand.

Mycorrhizae
WHY USE MYCORRHIZAE?• Mycorrhizae had a symbiotic part-
nership with plants since they ap-peared on dry land more than 450 million years ago.
• Over 80% of plants on earth now have a mutual symbiotic relation-ship with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM).
• Plays a major role in their nu-tritional status and productivity. Many of those plants are crop species.
• Plays a role in soil structure formation and main-tenance by releasing an exudate called glomalin which acts as an aggregate glue and nutrient source for other soil microbes involved in plant nutrition and disease suppression in the root en-vironment.
HOW DOES THE TECHNOLOGY WORK?• Mycorrhizae spores germinate in the soil in re-
sponse to plant chemical signals.• Then enter the root to form a partnership with the
plant, and produce a network of hyphae (tiny fila-ments much smaller in diameter then root hairs but longer).
• Hyphae grow beyond the root zone, carry nutri-ents and water from the soil to the plant in ex-change for carbon.
• The alliance between the roots and fungi acceler-ates root and plant growth.
ABSORPTION CAPACITY• Previously thought to be primarily involved in se-
curing phosphorus.• Further research also reveals they absorb water,
and elements such as N, S, K, Cu, Zn, B, Fe, Mn.• Support of a variety of plant functions like nodula-
tion and grain filling .• Hyphae absorptive network is about 10 times
more efficient than root hairs and 100 times more efficient than roots1.
STRESS RESISTANCE• Mycorrhizae increase tolerance to environmen-
tal stresses such as: disease infection, drought, compaction, salinity, etc.
• Plays a role in soil particle aggregation, leading to better water penetration, aeration, less erosion, and leeching of nutrients.
• In drought mycorrhizae move water stored in hy-phae to the plant delaying the impact of drought. Plants with mycorrhizae survive, reproduce and grow better than those without the symbiosis.
READING THE LABEL -VIABLE SPORES VS. PROPAGULES
• Number of viable spores is important to the effi-cacy of a mycorrhizae product.
• Viable Spores: total amount of viable, useable spores that will germinate are included in the total; a more accurate gauge of product perfor-mance.
• Propagules: total amount of spores, viable and non-viable, and other materials such as pieces of hyphae are included in the total; less accurate gauge of product performance.
FOR BEST RESULTS• Apply the year after Canola rotation (Canola does
not support arbuscular mycorrhizae and popula-tions are negatively affected).
• Apply to crops that have a small root system (flax, potatoes, barley etc).
• Use on land that is extremely deficient in P, and metal micro-nutrients like Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, etc._______________

Why use Premier Tech’s mycorrhizae?Mycorrhizal fungi have existed since the first plants appeared on dry land more than 450 million years ago. AM (Arbuscular Mycorrhizae) symbiosis applies to over 80% of all plants and plays a major role in plant nutrition and productivity. “Over the last 35 years, numerous scientific studies have clearly highlighted the fundamental role that mycorrhizal fungi play in natural eco-systems, and in those managed by man.” I
How does the technology work? Mycorrhizae develop a network that explores the soil and accesses more nutrients and water to transfer to the plant. The beneficial alliance between mycorrhizal fungi and roots accelerates root development and stimulates plant growth.Absorption capacityPremier Tech’s mycorrhizal technology makes P more available in the soil, and actively absorbs and transfers it via its filament network (hyphae) directly to the root. The filaments in the soil also have the ability to absorb water and elements such as Cu, Zn, B, Fe, Mn which are important in nodule formation and grain filling. Mycorrhizae have been shown to improve soil structure by releasing a “biological glue” called glomalin and to increase the presence of other beneficial micro-organisms in the root environment.“Although mycorrhizal fungi do not fix nitrogen, they transfer energy, in the form of liquid carbon to associative nitrogen fixers.” E
“Mycorrhiza deliver sunlight energy packaged as liquid carbon to a vast array of soil microbes involved in plant nutrition and disease suppression.” G
“The absorptive area of mycorrhizal hyphae is approximately 10 times more efficient than that of root hairs and about 100 times more efficient than that of roots.” E
Efficient P uptake and transferThonaret al. (2010)M compared three species of AMF and observed “Glomus intraradices, Glomus claroideum and Gigaspora margarita were able to take up and deliver P to the plants from maximal distances of 10, 6 and 1 cm from the roots, respectively. Glomus intraradicesmost rapidly colonized the available substrate and transported significant amounts of P towards the roots.”Cavagnaroet al. (2005)N found that “Glomus intraradices was found to be one of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi that was able to control nutrient uptake amounts by individual hyphae depending on differing phosphorus levels in the surrounding soils.” Collaborating SpeciesThe mycorrhizal species used in Premier Tech products (Glomus intraradices) is among the most ‘collaborative’ species in various articles.“According to the article by Kiers et al.B, it has been shown that the different species of mycorrhizae are not equally effective when it comes to transferring nutrients from the soil to the plant. Under controlled conditions, certain species of mycorrhizae have been shown to be more ‘cooperative’ and to transfer most of the phosphorus absorbed from the soil to the root, while other mycorrhizae species use it or store it as reserve. Glomus intraradices’ versatility in different conditionsThere are more than 200 species of AMF (Arbuscular Mycorrhizae Fungi) and Premier Tech offers a versatile species. Selected more than 35 years ago, it has been tested continuously under various conditions and has performed well in a range of soil pH from 5.2 to 8.1. “G. intraradiceshas turned out to be a “great fungus” in several surveys, and field trials so far has shown it to be equal or superior to mixtures of other fungi.”A

WHAT IS IT?• Naturally occurring soil bacteria that form a symbiotic,
N-fixing relationship in the roots of select legumes.• The host plant produces root nodules after infection,
that the bacteria live and thrive in.• These nodules house the bacteria responsible for fix-
ing the atmospheric N and make it available for the plant .
• Rhizobium can’t fix N on their own. They need a host plant to colonize the roots.
• 20% of all legumes form a mutualistic relationship with rhizobium (soybean, peas, clover, lentils and faba beans among them)1.
• Rhizobium species are very plant specific: Pulses form a relationship with Rhizobium Leguminosarum/ Soy-beans form a relationship with Bradyrhizobium Ja-ponicum.
HOW DOES IT WORK?• The plant sends out a chemical signal (flavonoids and
isoflavonoids) from its roots.• This attracts the rhizobium, which responds by send-
ing out signals called Nod factors.• Rhizobium start the “invasion process” by penetrating
the root-hair wall and enter the plant cells.• This turns on a gene in the plant to initiate root nodu-
lation.• Inside the nodules the rhizobium differentiate into a
non-motile form that fix the N into plant available form.
• After nodule formation the plant converts N (ammoni-um form) into amino acids that are exported through-out the plant.
• Simple sugars and oxygen are released to the rhizo-bium from the plant. The oxygen is bound by the rhi-zobium to a protein called leghemoglobin, preventing loss to the atmosphere as a gas.
BENEFITS OF RHIZOBIUM INOCULATION• Increased N-fixing bacteria• Enhanced N fixation• Increased nodulation• Increased legume productivity• The most efficient way to supply the large amounts of
nitrogen needed by legumes to produce high-yielding crops with a high protein content_______________1 Sprent, J.I., 2007. Evolving ideas of legume evolution and diversity: A taxonomix perspective on the occurrence of nodulation. New Phytol. 174:11-25
Mycorrhizae - develop a network that explores the soil and accesses more nutrients and water for the plant
Rhizobium - fixes nitrogen and makes it available to the plant.
The Plant - wins by accessing more nutrients and water and increased nodulation equaling more yield
• Mycorrhizae take up P and water from soil to transfer to plant.
• Plant can give more P to rhizobium to fix more N.
• Plant will photosynthesize 51% more and grow faster.
• Plant gives carbon to its rhizobium & mycorrhizae partners.
• Mycorrhizae will propagate and spread rhizobium to other roots.

THE TRIPARTITE SYMBIOSIS HELPS YOU GET BIGGER YIELD
TRIPARTITE SYMBIOSISBIOLOGICAL INTERACTIONS BETWEEN MYCORRHIZAE, RHIZOBIUM AND PLANTS
By enhancing root system growth and creating a network of filaments, mycorrhizae help plants to uptake more nutrients, such as phosphorus, and increase the nodulation process for the rhizobium.
1 Koele et al. 2014. VFRC Report 2014/1, pp. 1-572 Kaschuk et al. 2009. Soil Biol. Biochem. 41:1233-12443 Shinde et al. 2016. Int. J. Bioassays. 5:4954-4957
How can the tripartite symbiosis improve crop productivity? Each phase of the plant growth requires a lot of nutrients and energy to obtain higher yield. “ […] the tripartite interactions between legumes, AMF [Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi] and rhizobia cause increases in legume productivity, and the N:P:C supply ratio as influenced by the tripartite symbiotic associations plays a fundamental role in controlling the legume’s photosynthetic rate and biomass productivity.” 1
How do the technologies work? Mycorrhizae develop a network that explores the soil and accesses more nutrients and water to transfer to the plant; rhizobium fixes nitrogen and makes it available to the plant. By working together, they influence positively the plant for increased yield.
Help feed the plantN and P are major nutrients for the plant. “Tripartite associations of host plants with both rhizobia and AMF [Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi] benefit the host plant by increased P uptake through the mycorrhizal association balancing the high input of N through rhizobial N-fixation.” 1
In addition, mycorrhizae reach more water and nutrients needed by legumes such as B, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mn, Mo and Zn, key components for energy production.
Higher photosynthesisWhen used in combination, mycorrhizae and rhizobium increase the photosynthetic rate by 51% 2. “The rate of photosynthesis increased substantially more than the C [Carbon] costs of the rhizobial and AM [Arbuscular Mycorrhizal] symbioses.” 2
The total increased sugar productionby the plant far outweighs the cost to “house” the partners.
Better productivity Better nutrient use efficiency and bigger biomass result in higher yield from each legume plant (harvest index). For example, “[…] it has been found that pea plants coinoculatedwith Rhizobium leguminosarum and AMF [Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi] has shown best results regarding plant height, plant dry mass, nodule fresh weight, number of seeds, seed weight, seed yield, number of root nodules, number of pods per plant, average pod weight and pod length […]”.3

Canadian research proves Crystal Green’s Root-Activated TM release puts your plantsin control of their phosphate needs, not the soil. The difference is enhanced yields andreduced tie-up, especially in high and low pH soils.
That’s not just good economics. It’s sustainable agronomics.

HOW CRYSTAL GREEN WORKS
Root-Activated™ Nutrients Delivered
Crystal Green releases nutrients in response to a plant’s organic acid production. This allows Crystal Green to gradually release nutrients into the soil solution when the plant needs it most.
Season-Long Plant Availability, Lower Environmental Impact
Continuous release provides plant-available nutrients all season long while minimizing nutrient tie-up and runoff.
Consistent, Dependable Release Crystal Green’s ganulated nutrients only rely on plant demand; not on coatings, soil temperatures, microbes, or pH.
It’s Phosphorus. Only Better.Ostara’s Crystal Green products give you better phosphate control and uptake for higher yields.

SUL4R-PLUS® fertilizer is a controlled release granular sulfate product that provides season long availability for your crops. The controlled release of plant-available sulfate allows the plant to have as much or as little as it needs during the growing season.
Additional research available from your Taurus Rep & online
SUL4R-PLUS® fertilizer is a controlled release granular sulfate product that provides season long availability for your crops. The controlled release of plant-available sulfate allows the plant to have as much or as little as it needs during the growing season.
Soil column studies done at Texas A&M show release rates of 2 to 5 lb every 10 days for a period of 60-80 days (depending on high/low application rate), matching the nutrient uptake of the crop closer than any other sulfate product on the Canadian market today.
Combined with a low salt index for improved seed safety; a 21% Ca -17% S analysis aiding in soil amendment; and dust-free handling and storage capabilities, SUL4R-PLUS® fertilizer will revolutionize your growing this year.
• Highly soluble granules – provides immediate and season long nutrition to all crops
• Uniform feeding across wide spread pattern – 20 to 30 granules per square foot (based on 100lb/acre application)
• Nutrient releasing characteristics best mimic the crop nutrient uptake curves
• Uniform granule size ensures product blends well and spreads evenly

THE CANOLA ROTATION INOCULANTHELPS YOU COUNTER REDUCED YIELD AFTER CANOLA
Reach more nutrients and waterSufficient nutrient and water uptake is critical for effective plant growth and ultimately to maximize your yield potential, especially for low mobility nutrients such as P and Zn3. By adding a mycorrhizal inoculant, the plant develops a secondary root system (mycorrhizal hyphae) allowing it a larger soil contact surface and thus better to access to nutrients and water. “The absorptive area of mycorrhizal hyphae is approximately 10 times more efficient than that of root hairs and about 100 times more efficient than that of roots.” 4
Ensure early P uptake“Phosphorus plays a critical role in energy reactions in the plant [such as photosynthesis. Phosphorus is also a key component in building blocs for plant.] Deficits can influence essentially all energy requiring processes in plant metabolism. Phosphorus stress early in the growing season can restrict crop growth, which can carry through to reduce final crop yield.” 5 Mycorrhizae make soil phosphorus (P) more available to the plant, and actively absorb and transfer it via the mycorrhizal filament network (hyphae) directly to the root.
Increase your yield potentialBy introducing mycorrhizal inoculant close to the seed at seeding, you get the association working early with the full benefits of increased nutrient and water uptake when plants need them. Therefore, get more out of the fertilizer you have already invested into the crop.
What affects your soil biology?
Many crop practices (tillage, fallow land, flooding and crop
rotation) contribute to decreasing the beneficial biology, such
as mycorrhizal fungi population, in your agricultural soils.
For example, it is well known that crops following
Brassicaceae plants (canola and mustard), in a rotation
generally tend to demonstrate reduced yield, compared to
results when seeded after another crop. It can largely be
explained by the relationship (or lack of relationship)
between Brassicaceae and beneficial microorganisms, such
as mycorrhizae1. Canola roots exude a toxic compound that
reduces populations of those beneficial microorganisms in the
soil. Furthermore, the “absence of a mycorrhizal host plant
during the fallow period decreases mycorrhizal colonization
potential for the succeeding crop and results in P deficiency
symptoms in plants that are mycorrhizal dependent, such as
corn, soybean, sunflower, and cotton.” 2

SEED TREATMENT KIT for PEAS, LENTILS and OTHER PULSE CROPS
Nitrogen fixing Rhizobial inoculant
Premium nutritional seed treatment
The kit treats 800 kg of seeds
CFIA Registration: 2017071
DIRECTIONS for USE:Active PLS™: 2ml / kg of seedsN-Rhizo™ PULSE: 2.75 ml / kg of seed
Simultaneous applicationas two (or three) separate products: Direct/stream both Active PLS™ and Agchem / N-Rhizo™ PULSE in the required amounts towards the seeds.
Sequential Application:• Sequence of addition: Seed, Active PLS™, Agchem,
N-Rhizo™ PULSE• First treat the seeds with required amount of
Active PLS™ and mix well for uniform coverage• Soon after application of Active PLS™, apply
the required amount of Agchem/N-Rhizo™ PULSE and mix well for uniform coverage
Allow treated seeds to air dry for 5-10 min before seeding. For optimal performance, plant seeds as soon as possible after inoculation and no later than two weeks after treatment. Do not expose treated seeds to high temperatures, or direct sunlight. In hot dry field conditions, light irrigation after planting can help lower potential damage to the inoculant. In fields where legumes have not been grownfor four years or more, higher application rates will lead to better results.
COMPATIBILITY: Inoculants are living organisms and can be harmed by some chemical seed treatments. If in doubt, check with your dealer / manufacturer before using.

Active AgriScience Patented BIOSTIMULANT TECHNOLOGY
Active AgriScience Patented Biostimulant Technology
is designed to enhance seed germination, root growth,
seedling vigor, stress resistance and yield.
62© 2020 Taurus Agricultural Marketing Inc.
ENHANCED GERMINATION: Active PRIME™ induces synthesis of zeatin, a cytokinin, to promote shoot growth, resulting in faster and higher rates of germination.
STRONGER ROOT GROWTH: Active PRIME™ induces the indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) pathway resulting in higher levels of IBA in tissues leading to earlier and quicker root growth and development. As a result, Active PRIME™ treated plants are better able to maintain strong growth under drought stress.
REDUCED TRANSPIRATION: Active PRIME™ helps regulate stomatal function to reduce excess water loss. It also helps increase xylem pressure through positive water potential and enhanced xylem elasticity.
INCREASED WATER USE EFFICIENCY: Active PRIME™ combats drought induced changes in plants by inhibiting both ethylene synthesis and free radical formation. Ethylene and free radicals destabilize plant membranes, through fluidization and lipid peroxidation, resulting in water leakage and quicker wilting. Active PRIME™ treated plants exhibit greater water use efficiency and inherent resistance to these drought-induced changes.
Active PRIME™ is a seed coating that contains nutrients and bioactive molecules to get your newly seeded crop off to a strong, healthy start. It improves germination, boosts root growth, and protects seeds and seedlings from unfavourable environmental conditions. The resulting robust young plants are primed to produce a greater yield.

DIRECTIONS for USE:1. Apply Active PRIME™ as a seed
nutrient dressing at 4 ml / kg of
seed.
2. Seed coating can be done
simultaneously with Active PRIME™
and compatible agrochemicals (see
Compatibility Chart).
3. If using Active PRIME™ without
additional agrochemicals, use
equal amounts of water and Active
PRIME™ (1:1) to sufficiently coat
seeds. Calibrate equipment to
release the required amount of the
Active PRIME™ mixture based on
seed flow rate.
4. Thoroughly mix seeds with the
Active PRIME™ mixture. A colouring
additive allows a visual check to
ensure all seeds are uniformly
coated.

STRONGER GROWTH: The high N-P-K concentration in Active BUILD™ is supplemented with boron, molybdenum, manganese and zinc, supporting addi-tional root growth, stronger stalks and increased leafing, even under drought stress.
REDUCED TRANSPIRATION: Active BUILD™ helps increase xylem pressure through positive water potential, and enhanced elasticity of the xylem, and helps to regulate stomatal function to reduce excess water loss.
INCREASED WATER USE EFFICIENCY: Active BUILD™ combats drought induced changes in plants by inhib-iting both ethylene synthesis and free radical formation. Ethylene and free radicals destabilize plant membranes, through fluidization and lipid peroxidation, resulting in water leakage and quicker wilting. Active BUILD™ treated plants exhibit greater water use efficiency and inherent resistance to these drought-induced changes.
INCREASED NUTRIENT MOBILIZATION and ABSORPTION: Active BUILD™ provides nitrogen and potassium in easy-to-absorb complexes, and phosphorous is in two different forms. It increases secretion of root exudates into the rhizosphere to improve bound nutrient mobilization, availability, and root interception. Treated plants show increased uptake of nutrients.
Active BUILD™ provides the nutrients that young plants need to continue strong, healthy growth and overcome the stress caused by rapid growth, herbicides, and unfavourable environmental conditions. Roots continue to deepen, while stalks strengthen and foliage increases, ultimately resulting in higher yields.

HOW Active FLOWER™ WORKSActive FLOWER™ contains nitrogen in the form of amine and micronutrients which together maintain high enzymatic and hormonal activity during the reproductive phase of plant growth. Potassium is provided to regulate anther dehiscence, pollen hydration/imbibition, and pollen tube growth. This ensures successful fertilization, and promotes uniform fruit size and quality. An easy to absorb boron/amine complex penetrates easily through cell membranes where needed, fostering pollen viability, seed set, carbohydrate and nucleic acid metabolism, cell differentiation and maturity, sugar transport, uptake of calcium, magnesium, and potassium, synthesis of cytokinins, translocation of auxins, and root tip initiation. A polyamine complex aids in pollen germination, hydration, viability, pollen tube growth, accumu-lation of secretory vesicles in pollen tubes, and fertility. It also attracts bees, minimizes abortive flowers, and increases fruit sets and yield.

Active GrainFILL™ contains Sulphur plus 12 amino acids and 3 vitamins that optimize grain size and weight by improving nutrition and extending the grain fill period.
GUARANTEED MINIMUM ANALYSIS: Total Nitrogen (N) ............................ 10%Potassium (K2O) ................................ 14%Sulphur (S) ........................................6.5%Iron (Fe) ........................................0.005%
EXTENDED DURATION of GRAIN FILLINGActive GrainFILL™ provides potassium in an easily absorbed form. Potassium is a key element in remobilization of food reserves to developing grains during the grain filling stage. Potassium helps extend the grain filling duration.
LARGER and HEAVIER GRAINSBoth Nitrogen and Potassium help build new tissues after polli-nation and fertilization. Nitrogen plays a role in achieving high grain yield with adequate protein content. Nitrogen remobilization to grains after flowering naturally occurs in the form of amino acids. The 12 amino acids in Active GrainFILL™ help enhance this process.
GROWTH MAINTENANCE UNDER STRESS CONDITIONSAmino acids help plants during stress situations by acting as osmolytes (cell pressure regulators), regulating ion transport, mod-ulating stomatal opening, and detoxifying heavy metals. Plants supplied with Active GrainFILL™ contains many amino acids, including proline, to help the plant mitigate abiotic stress.
INCREASED YIELDBetter nutrition and extended grain filling helps maintain yields during stress conditions or improve yields during normal growing conditions.
DIRECTIONS for USE:Wheat, barley, oats: apply during fun-
gicide and fusarium timing (flag leaf to
end of flowering BBCH stage 39 to 65) as
a foliar spray at 1 L / acre with a minimum
of 20 L / acre for ground applications.
Spray early morning or late afternoon
when the sun is lower in the sky. Do not
apply when air temperatures are above
27°C. Avoid spraying on windy days.

Active VPR™ acts as a post-emergent herbicide stress reliever while acting synergistically with the herbicide to increase its efficacy on weeds.
GUARANTEED MINIMUM ANALYSIS: Total Nitrogen (N) .............................. 2%Available Phosphate (P2O5) ............. 10%Potassium (K2O) ................................ 10%
FASTER RECOVERY FROM HERBICIDE STRESSActive VPR™ treated plants are able to regulate the biochemical pathways related to protein, carbohydrate and ATP production to help reduce plant respiration and prevent energy loss. This allow plants to better allocate energy to the recovery processes.
INCREASED ROOT GROWTH and IMPROVED DROUGHT RESISTANCEActive VPR™ helps regulate the opening and closing of the stomata controlling water vapor, oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. Some of the molecules included in Active VPR™ can act as anti-oxidants and can scavenge toxic compounds produced within the plant. In addition, these molecules are able to control the elasticity of membranes to reduce water loss.
ENHANCES TRANSLOCATION of SUGARS and STARCHPotassium is key to carbohydrate metabolism and translocation of sugars and starch. After herbicide application, the potassium in Active VPR™ ensures that the plant gives priority to the essential tissues first ensuring a fast recovery from herbicide stress.
IMPROVED CROP MATURITY, UNIFORMITY and INCREASED YIELDActive VPR™ improves root growth, accelerates recovery from herbicide and other abiotic/ biotic stressors. It also helps the crop establish quicker and gives it an advantage of a few more days of photosynthesis compared with the untreated crop. This leads to increased yield.
DIRECTIONS for USE:Apply at the rate of 0.5 L – 1 L / acre with
a minimum of 40 L of water. Ensure suffi-
cient water for thorough coverage.
Apply as a foliar treatment in a regular
spray program or as a corrective spray
to alleviate nutritional deficiencies. Also
for use in blended fertilizers. Suitable for
ground or aerial spraying.
Use this product on the basis of soil and
tissue analysis in accordance with rec-
ommendations of a qualified person or
institution or apply according to recom-
mendations in your approved nutrient
program.

Active COMPLETE™ provides the micronutrients needed for a strong finish to the plant reproductive phase, along with Active AgriScience Patented Bio-Technology activation formula. This results in greater and more uniform production of fruits, grains, and seeds, and overall, a higher yield. In addition, this pre-harvest fertilizer increases grain quality and seed nutrition.
GUARANTEED MINIMUM ANALYSIS: Available Phosphate (P2O5) ..............38%Potassium (K2O) .............................. 7.0%Manganese (Mn)(actual) ..................2.8%Zinc (Zn)(actual) ............................... 4.7%
INCREASED CROP VOLUME: Active COMPLETE™ supports quicker and more uniform late season growth; husk and pod fill, fruit ripening, and seed maturation.
INCREASED QUALITY:Active COMPLETE™ increases grain quality and seed nutrition.
REDUCED TRANSPIRATION: Active COMPLETE™ increases xylem pressure through positive water potential, and enhanced elasticity of the xylem, and helps to regulate stomatal function to reduce excess water loss.
INCREASED WATER USE EFFICIENCY: Active COMPLETE™combats drought induced changes in plants by inhibiting both ethylene synthesis and free radical formation. Ethylene and free radicals destabilize plant membranes, through fluidization and lipid peroxidation, resulting in water leakage and quicker wilting. Active COMPLETE™ treated plants exhibit greater water use efficiency and inherent resistance to these drought-in-duced changes.
INCREASED NUTRIENT MOBILIZATION and ABSORPTION: Active COMPLETE™ provides nitrogen and potassium in easy-to-absorb complexes, and phosphorous in two different forms. This increases secretion of root exudates into the rhizosphere resulting in increased bound nutrient mobilization, availability, and root interception.
DIRECTIONS for USE:General Crop Use: Apply at late
fungicide timing as a foliar spray using
0.5 – 1 L per acre with a minimum of
20 L / acre for ground applications.
Wheat: full flowering, 50% of anthers
mature, BBCH 60-65.
Corn: milk stage, BBCH 60-65 or at her-
bicide timing.

MICRO- NUTRIENTS
Zinc is essential for plant enzymatic processes, including photo-synthesis and the production of indoleacetic acid, that affect stem length, leaf size, and overall yield. If soil temperatures remain cool during spring planting and early growth, zinc supplementation may be particularly beneficial. It also supports stress management. Some crops however, may not require additional zinc, and caution is needed to avoid zinc toxicity.
The availability and sufficiency of copper in the soil is essential to strong, healthy growth and high yields. Copper supports photo-synthesis, structural strength, respiration, stress management, enzymatic processes, pollen virility, carbohydrate metabolism, protein metabolism and the flavour of fruit.
Manganese is essential for strong, healthy growth and is particular-ly beneficial in small grains, soybeans, sweet corn, and vegetable crops. It supports root growth, photosynthesis, pollination, respira-tion, and stress/disease resistance.
Boron is essential for strong, healthy growth, particularly at and beyond the pollination phase. It supports photosynthesis and sug-ar translocation, root and root nodule growth, pollen tube length, flower, seed and fruit development.

Nitrogen is essential for plant life and growth and is therefore a component of many fertilizers. Proform N™ provides both readily available and slow release nitrogen, allowing it to be absorbed through the plant leaves efficiently. Proform N™ is also specially formulated to protect leaves from burning.
DIRECTIONS for USE:1. Apply Proform N™ as a foliar spray
early in the morning or late afternoon
when the sun is lower in the sky. Do
not apply when air temperatures are
above 24°C and avoid spraying on
windy days.
2. Always start with a clean mixing tank.
3. Add sufficient water to allow
thorough coverage of fields per label
instructions.
4. Add agrochemicals, if desired, and
mix well.
5. Add Proform N™ at the rate 1 L / acre.
Mix well.
INCREASED CHLOROPHYLL By allowing the absorption of nitrogen, the development of chloro-phyll is supported, fostering photosynthetic energy production and storage for increased health and growth.
INCREASED PROTEINIncreased nitrogen absorption supports the production of plant proteins, including DNA and RNA, allowing plants to manifest their full genetic potential.
INCREASED GROWTH and YIELDBy supporting the production of chlorophyll, protein, and nucleic acids, plants grow faster, stronger, and healthier, producing an overall higher yield.
HOW IT WORKS The amino acids and urea nitrogen in Proform N™ provide for easy foliar absorption without leaf burn and allow more nitrogen to be absorbed through the plant leaves and translocate into nitrogen demanding tissues.

Add the second half of the UAN solution. Continue mixing until well blended.Blending into UREA: Use 2 L ARM U™/1000 kg Urea. For uniform blending, use a blender with impregnation equipment. Weigh the urea and transfer to blender. Add the required amount of ARM U™ to the urea in the blender. Blend until the ARM U™ is uniformly mixed into the urea. Do not add any other fertilizer mate-rials until ARM U™ is thoroughly distributed. If mixture appears wet or sticky, a drying agent may be added at this time.
