Biagro Western To Market New Plant Stimulant

Biagro Western has secured exclusive international rights to market Take-Off, a metabolic plant stimulant that was developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.

The company secured the marketing rights after seeing the results of field studies conducted by Los Alamos, and then spent four years doing additional field research in Europe, followed by additional testing in the U.S.

The new product is said to speed plants to maturity, allowing the plants to more efficiently assimilate nitrogen by coordinating the nitrogen uptake and photosynthesis processes. Field tests show that Take-Off reduced nitrogen inputs by 25% to 35%.

Ultimately, Take-Off can enhance plant yield without the use of growth hormones by enhancing the levels of growth materials already in the plant. The product can be applied as a spray to a plant’s leaves, using traditional sprayer equipment, or to the plant’s root system. It can be used to enhance tree fruit, vines, vegetables, and cereals, including wheat and corn.

Take-Off will be sold initially as an additive in Nutri-Phite fertilizers under the brand line name of Nutri-Phite “Ultra,” and is now available through agri-chemical dealers.
