Agro-K Changes The Name Of Its Phosphite Line
January 15, 2009 Agro-K Corp. introduced a line of systemic phosphite-based foliar nutrients in 2001 under the Vigor-Phos brand. To more accurately reflect the systemic benefits of these effective nutrient products, Agro-K is changing the name of this product line to Sysstem. The following product labels, Sysstem-Cal, Sysstem-Zinc, Sysstem-Mag, Sysstem-Manganese and Sysstem-K, were introduced into eastern markets in 2008 and will be expanded to western markets in 2009.
By linking nutrients (calcium, zinc, magnesium, manganese and potassium), to the phosphite ion, nutrients are more rapidly taken up through plant tissue, actively translocated and highly systemic within the plant. Because these products are true nutrient-based phosphites, growers can more effectively target application timing of each nutrient to its peak demand window in the crop and to the needs of each different cropping system.
