Energy for Plants Agricultural Crop Additive (ACA) technology can be found in Awaken ST, Awaken and Pillar as Zinc Ammonium Acetate (ZAA). LoKomotive contains Potassium Acetate. Research has shown Potassium Acetate to be the most plant-available form of foliar potassium on the market. Studies over the years have found that ACA enters the plant as the intact ZAA complex, which rapidly translocates to growing points where it boosts auxin production. Auxin also promotes cell enlargement and division in plant shoots and roots, and regulates root development. The level of auxin production in roots treated with ACA was compared to roots treated with zinc sulphate. Auxin levels in two separate ACA treatments (different rates applied) exceeded zinc sulphate treatments by an average of 85% and 113%. Independent trials have shown an increase in root dry weight across many plant species, ranging from 6% to 23%. The larger root mass was consistent across all species tested, is characteristic of the ZAA treatment and evidence of elevated auxin production. A healthy and vigorous root system is critical to achieving higher yields by providing the crop with better access to moisture and soil nutrients needed for healthy growth. 3
Awaken ST (7-0-1) is a nutritional seed treatment containing zinc ammonium acetate, potassium, plus a balanced micronutrient package including boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc. Awaken ST can be applied in combination with fungicide and insecticide seed treatments. Post germination, Awaken ST promotes early vigour and faster establishment often with increased root mass. This benefits a young plant particularly when early growing conditions are not ideal cold/wet or hot/ dry. Increased yields from Awaken ST treated seed has also been measured in multiple crop types compared to yields of untreated seed. Labelled for use but not limited to the following crops: Cereal grains, canola, maize, cotton, pulse crops (non-inoculated only), and sorghum (forage and grain). The use rate for Awaken ST is: Cereal grains and Maize = 2.50-3.75L/tonne of seed Canola = 5.0 10.0L/tonne of seed Cotton = 5.0L/tonne of seed Guaranteed Analysis of Awaken ST (7-0-1) Nutrient W/V % Nitrogen 7.0000 Potassium (K) 1.0000 Boron (B) 0.0400 Copper (Cu) 0.3000 Iron (Fe) 0.3000 Manganese (Mn) 0.3000 Molybdenum (Mo) 0.0012 Zinc (Zn) 6.0000 Derived from: Urea Ammonium Nitrate, Anhydrous Ammonia, Potassium Nitrate, Sodium Borate, Copper Citrate, Ferrous Citric Acid, Manganese Citrate, Sodium Molybdate, Zinc Citrate Loveland Agri Products Product Guide

Amino Acid Maximum N-Pact (29-0-0) is a resin based nitrogen which contains an amino acid package (GABA) as a stress reduction agent. It contains a slow release form of nitrogen as triazone urea (33%), which results in less leaf burn and better absorption.this resin based formulation allows the nitrogen to readily enter the leaf, available for translocation and utilisation once inside the plant. Maximum N-Pact is further enhanced with an amino acid package called GABA (Gamma Amino Butyric Acid). GABA is a non-protein amino acid that accumulates rapidly in plant tissue in response to biotic and abiotic stress. There have been a number of suggestions as to the role GABA might have in plants, ranging from straight forward involvement in nitrogen metabolism, to far more complex signalling between plant-animal and plantmicrobe interactions. It has also been proposed that it might function as an intracellular signalling molecule in plants. In general terms when a plant begins to undergo stressful conditions it produces GABA to help reduce the effects of the stressful environment. The GABA in the Maximum N-Pact helps reduce reduce plant stress and therefore helps increase the uptake and utilisation of the applied nitrogen in Maximum N-Pact. The use rate for Maximum N-Pact is 10 20L/ha and can be applied to a wide range of crop types. Maximum N-Pact Excellent source of foliar nitrogen Improved crop safety reduced phytotoxicity Increased drought and salinity tolerance Increased photosynthesis Faster response to stress Reduced volatility Contains GABA (Gamma Amino Butyric Acid) Not rainfall dependent for plant utilisation Can be tank mixed with most herbicides and fungicides for a one pass application. 11
Inositol Technology (Dicotyledon crops) (Monocothledon crops) NutriSync D & NutriSync M are unique micronutrient products designed to enhance plant physiological activities. A critical component of the NutriSync technology is inositol - a transport synergist that binds strongly to mineral nutrients and organic compounds. It has been proven to remobilise nutrients tied up in older leaves & roots moving them to the growing points of the plant like new shoots, developing buds and fruit. Inositol is naturally produced by most plants and in NutriSync it is specially formulated to increase uptake and translocation of both applied and existing nutrients. NutriSync can be tank mixed with foliar micronutrient and foliar nitrogen applications across all crops. The inositol will increase the uptake and efficiency of the other nutrients by acting as a chelator. It then assimilates and transports the applied nutrients to where the highest demand is in the plant. The use rate for NutriSync D & NutriSync M is 365 730ml/ha. Inositol plays a key role in the natural growth and development of plants, participating in the following physiological processes: Phosphatidylinositol (PI) signalling pathway Phytic acid biosynthesis nutrition storage and use Cell wall biosynthesis and protection Auxin storage and transport Osmoprotection plant stress management Signal transduction plant adaptation to a changing environment Loveland Agri Products Product Guide
