KOOLBUG is an excellent formula for stress management in plant & also makes essential nutrition availabl. In stress situations, plants can draw down even more of these nutrients. These nutrients are used to deal with stress and create protiens and enzymes that regulate plant physiology. KOOLBUG supports crop's ability to manage abiotic stress. Stress in plants is a difficult to avoid when it comes to commercial agriculture.
Composition:
K as K2O : 3%w/v
Molybdenum (Mo) : 0.35%w/v
Total Nitrogen (N) : 2.7%w/v
Cobalt (Co) (B) : 0.25%w/v
Arsenic (As) : <100 ppm
Cadmium (Cd) : <25 ppm
Lead (Pb) : <30 ppm
Mode of action : By including the regulatory master Gene Dreb1A, Kool bug regulates other genes involved in resistance to drought and other enviornmental stress. Koll bug is shown to up-regulate the four enzymes that protect plants from damaging free radicals which can occur in response to drought, injury from herbicides and pesticides, nutrient deficiencies and extreme tempretures.
BENIFITS
ENHANCED GERMINATION : It promotes shoot growth, resulting in faster and higher grades of germination. KOOLBUG promotes root no dulation and nodule activity in legumes. And it insures continuous new root growth for efficient nutrient uptake, especially nitrogen.
STRONGER ROOT GROWTH: Leading to earlier and quicker root growth and development. As a result KOOLBUG treated plants are better able to maintain strong growth under drought stress because of high penetration.
REDUCED TRANSPIRATION : it helps increase xylem pressure through positive water potential, enhanced elasticity.
INCREASED WATER USE EFFICIANCY : Inhibits both ethylene synthesis free radical formation under drought conditions. Ethylene free radicals destabilize plant membranes coma welding in water leakage and quicker wilting. KOOLBUG treated plants have inherent resistance to this drought- induced changes with greater water use efficiency.
INCREASED NUTRIENT MOBILIZATION AND ABSORPTION : Increases root proliferation that increases bound nutrient mobilization, availability. Search plants also show increased uptake of nutrients mobilized by mass flow, mandatory to sustain in stress conditions.
Dose :
1.2 to 1.5 liter per acre
