“Crop
Response”? It
is not what you apply, but what gets in the plant…that counts. For over half a century
researchers have been testing basic fertilizer materials for
crop response and economic yield response. This process has
led the Ag community to believe in “units of nutrient
applied”. The reason: The materials utilized for all
these years have been found to be somewhat inefficient. Therefore,
with previous fertilizers you had to apply many units to
get an economic response. Even in recent publications, researchers
have been quoted as saying it takes more than the crop needs
to get an economic response. This includes Primary, Secondary,
and yes, even Micronutrients.
What
is our secret? Since 1976, we at DeltAg have been striving
to find a better “mouse trap”. We developed “Fulvore” as
the basis for our chemistry. Fulvore is a proprietary formula
that performs much like Fulvic Acid in the plant. It enhances
membrane permeability and translocation. Today, after years
of developmental work and field trials, we utilize our Fulvore to carry our ‘active’ chemistry into the plant.
With Fulvore, we are allowed the luxury of force feeding
additions of Vitamins, Amino Acids,
Enzymes, and Natural Plant Extracts.
Result: Low Application Rates!
What
do these ‘Actives’ do in the plant? Think
of our ‘chemistry’ as “Plant
Catalyst Chemistry”.
We are supplying the plant with a host of materials that
normally have to be produced within the plant for normal
plant metabolism
to take place. These materials are necessary for other reactions
to take place in the plant.
Can’t
the plant make its own catalysts? Absolutely! But this requires energy and healthy plant metabolism. Think
of this concept as supplying vitamins to an athlete. This
chemistry allows the plant to not have to work as hard to
carry on normal
activities. This ultimately generates or preserves more energy
for growth and yield. DeltAg Chemistry is making it easier
for the plant to metabolize nutrients. The result is a lower
application rate of a given nutrient and less energy burned
in the conversion process. This leaves more energy to be
used for other functions. More efficient nutrient sources
means
lower rates! It truly is a simple concept!
What ‘Catalysts’ Are
Used at DeltAg? Each
nutrient product is formulated utilizing DeltAg’s
Fulvore, as well as specific Amino Acids, Vitamins and
Enzymes that have
a direct effect on the specific nutrient formulation desired.
Yes, each DeltAg product is specific to the desired result,
Crop Response!
Biostimulants? A
Biostimulant is a material that stimulates the physiological
and biological processes that your crop
is designed by Nature to carry out. DeltAg Biostimulants
are specifically
designed and formulated to enhance the Energy
Level of your
crop. We utilize this ‘active
catalyst chemistry’ to
give your crop the boost it needs to do what it is suppose
to do!
