The Sanovita Concept - PLANT HEALTH PRODUCTS herbagreen products are complementary leaf fertilizers, based on micronized rock powder of natural origin and consists of selected raw materials and contains macronutrients such as calcium, magnesium, sulphur, as well as micronutrients, e.g. iron, boron, manganese, zinc and molybdenum. The product is suited for application in both, bio-organic and conventional agriculture. Further objective target is the promotion of integrated agricultural production herbagreen foliar fertilizer based on natural calcite herbagreen Z20 composition of selected minerals calcite and zeolite herbagreen fluisan complementary biostimulant herbagreen amino complementary amino acid 4
Sunlight The Sanovita-Concept for foliar fertilization 1. Higher photosynthesis activity Light Light energy Photosynthesis Energy Chlorophyll Synthesis B Photosynthesis is the basis of plant growth, and improving photosynthesis can contribute toward greater food security in the coming decades as world population increases. Multiple targets have been identified that could be manipulated to increase crop photosynthesis. The most important target is RuBisCo Ribulose-bisphosphatcarboxylase/-oxygenase because it catalyses both carboxylation and oxygenation reactions and the majority of responses of photosynthesis to light, CO 2, and temperature are reflected in its kinetic properties. The chlorophyll refers to a class of natural dyes, which are formed by organisms that carry out photosynthesis. Chlorophylls have more tasks of photosynthesis. By far the largest proportion is used for light absorption and transmission of absorbed energy. Hemring (iron-magnesium atoms) 5
2. Higher tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress. Biotic stress is stress that occurs as a result of damage done to plants by other living organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, beneficial and harmful insects, weeds, and cultivated or native plants. Abiotic stress is defined as the negative impact of non-living factors on the living organisms in a specific environment. It has been claimed that abiotic stress causes the most crop loss of any other factor and that most major crops are reduced in their potential yield. Silicon of natural origin with a defined molecular structure stimulates the production of stress metabolites degrading enzymes. Catalase and superoxide dismutase are important antioxidants. They contribute significantly to protect against free radicals. Catalase decomposes peroxides; superoxide dismutase inactivates the aggressive superoxide. Superoxide dismutase contributes to strengthening the immune system. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is the name for all enzymes that convert superoxide anions to hydrogen peroxide. Superoxide dismutase reduces mainly the free radical superoxide and converts it into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide which are slightly less harmful. Catalase (hydrogen peroxide detoxification - stress metabolite detoxification) Catalase is an antioxidant enzyme found in nearly all plant and animal foods which transforms hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into oxygen (O2) and water (H2O). Hydrogen peroxide is formed during the degradation of hyperoxides by superoxide dismutase. Peroxidases are enzymes that (usually hydrogen peroxide) catalyze the reduction of peroxides. The reaction is primarily the removal of toxic peroxides. The reverse reaction of the catalase is used, however, in some peroxidases of generating hydrogen peroxide. 6
3. Plant strengthening Substances and micro-organisms intended to protect plants against harmful organisms by activating the defences of the plant through: - stimulating resistance/defence mechanisms in the plant, or - the competition of the plant strengthener with harmful organisms for space and food-substances in the fyllosphere or rhizosphere. (PAL) The phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) is an enzyme from plants and fungi. PAL converts the amino acid phenylalanine by releasing of ammonia (NH3) into cinnamic acid. This is the first step in the biosynthesis of phenylpropanoids. PAL is one of two enzymes having the amino acid dehydroalanine. Because phenylalanine is a product of the primary metabolism of the plant and is removed by the formation of cinnamic acid from the primary metabolism, subject to the biosynthesis of PAL as well as the activity of the control of z. B. Light (via the phytochrome) and other factors. The PAL is activated, for example, in plant wounds, likely to stimulate the synthesis of phytochemicals. Phytoalexins Phytoalexins are low molecular weight, antimicrobial and at least z. T. antioxidant activity, chemical compounds that immediately after infection by microorganisms (such as bacteria or fungi) are produced by the plant to inhibit their propagation, growth or reproduction in plants. Phytoalexins are always re-produced until after the penetration of microorganisms in plant tissue to ward off the same and are normally not detectable in healthy parts of the plant. Apart from microorganisms the production of phytoalexins can also be triggered by a variety of other, even abiotic factors but such as UV radiation, heavy metals, temperature shock, tissue injury, etc. = higher net photosynthesis!!!!! 7
HERBAGREEN - UNIQUE SELLING POINTS Herbagreen is a natural micronized mineral product, consisting of natural minerals (mainly calcite) and promotes a faster and healthier plant growth. Its uniqueness as a foliar fertilizer is based on the special raw material and on a technically complex processing technology. In Herbagreen more than 17 mineral nutrients are included. This mineral contains macro- minerals such as calcium, magnesium, etc., micro- nutrients such as zinc, manganese, nickel, copper etc. and beneficial elements such as silicon. Herbagreen is dissolved in water. Then the solution is sprayed in a fine mist onto the leaves. The nutrients can penetrate directly through the pores or the stomata into the leaves tissue. So Herbagreen provides a higher photosynthesis rate, a higher tolerance against plant stress and a plant strengthening effect. Herbagreen offers the following unique features: 1. Raw material with high nutrient value 2. Exclusive and sustainable raw material availability exclusivity 3. Unique manufacturing process 4. Unique recipes and formulations 5. High quality foliar fertilizers for complementary and efficient plant nutrition 6. Well- researched and designed application method 7. Scientific tests and field trials 8. Authorization and registration for an exclusive sale 8
General effects of herbagreen on plants Increase the total harvest Improved quality Increased dry matter content in the fruits - taste better Fruits are larger and last longer fresh Improved plant vigor Reduced growing season - harvest cycle faster Early maturity of fruit More intensive growth of the plant Plant needs less water Roots and stems are stronger The plant's immune system is stronger Significant reduction of pesticides residues in various crops The plant is more resistant to high and low temperatures 9
