20. How Are Chelates Formed? Natal Chelate= a mineral surrounded amino acids Mineral

21. NutriPlus products are chelated/complexed with nature’s own chelates: This means the minerals are protected and more effective. NutriPlus Metal Amino acids, carboxylic acids , etc. Chelate

25. Importance of Balanced Nutrition The limiting factor for holding capacity of a barrel is the shortest stave. The limiting factor for growth is the nutrient in shortest supply. A short supply of nutrients reduces yields, causing reduced profits. Iron Zinc Potassium Nitrogen Copper Boron Calcium Iron Zinc Potassium Nitrogen Copper Boron Calcium

26. Nutrient Deficiencies By the time deficiencies are visible, yields have been reduced! Prevent deficiencies with a regular maintenance program, or with frequent foliar analyses followed by application of the appropriate nutrient(s). Visible deficiencies Hidden deficiencies Yields Genetic Potential Nutrient deficiency

27. Examples of Visible Deficiencies Iron Potassium Zinc By the time deficiencies are visible, yields have been reduced!

28. Magnesium and Zinc Deficiencies in Banana Leaves and Fruits Zinc deficiency Magnesium deficiency Double - Zinc deficiency Quadruples - Zinc deficiency

32. Effects of NutriPlus on pH of Water NutriPlus decreases the pH which increases rate of absorption and translocation .

40. Mode of Action I N UTRIPLANT AG Enhances Two Critical Processes in Crop Physiology 1. Photosynthesis 2. Nutrient uptake through roots

41. N UTRIPLANT AG Increases Chlorophyll Development Photosynthesis is how the plant traps energy from the sun.

45. Mode of Action II Increased Absorption of Nutrients by Roots

46. Plants with foliar applications of N UTRIPLANT AG absorbed 56% more Mn, 200% more Fe and Zn, and 370% more Cu N UTRIPLANT AG Increases Absorption of Nutrients by Roots

47. Even with optimal photosynthesis and nutrient uptake, crops do not reach their full genetic potential due to STRESS.

Increase in UV - 305 nm Radiation at Between 1992 and 1998 * Average daily values are grouped into monthly averages to calculate a mean value for each month of the year, which is substrated from each monthly mean. These values are the difference between ‘Zero” (equivalent To each montly mean. The regression has a confidence interval of 95 % Source: Cabrera. 2005 At Santiago, Chile.
