InnoAg More: Because More Matters

InnoAg More is a liquid EC fertilizer containing rich micronutrients. It supplies primary micronutrients including Boron, EDTA chelated Copper, EDTA chelated Iron, EDTA chelated Manganese, and EDTA chelated Zinc to help optimize plant growth. This product gives plants a boost against abiotic environmental stresses such as salinity, drought, and extreme temperature. The EDTA chelation in InnoAg More ensures that the micronutrients remain active in soil or during the spray operation until absorbed by the plant through leaves or via roots.

The EDTA chelation in InnoAg More ensures that the micronutrients remain active in soil or during the spray operation until absorbed by the plant through leaves or via roots. On the other hand, Sulphate- and Oxide-derived micronutrients have relatively low plant uptake in comparison to the amount of micronutrient applied. The most common issue with Sulphate-based micronutrients is of precipitation. Phosphorus in the soil react with the sulphate micronutrient and forms insoluble precipitate crystals. Hence micronutrients are fixed in the soil and take longer to be available for plant uptake.

InnoAg More has been proven to aid root growth. A healthier plant with a stronger root system can absorb greater amounts of available nutrients and water from the soil. It gives the treated plant a boost against abiotic environmental stresses such as salinity, drought, and extreme temperature.

 InnoAg More is best used during the vegetative stage of plant growth. This allows for faster plant establishment and more rapid development to the reproductive stage. InnoAg More promotes sustainability as the product contains short-chain polysaccharides that aid beneficial soil microbial activity which in turn helps in rebuilding soil health. Also, with chelated micronutrients, it reduces the amount of micronutrient to be applied. The product is available for sale in various states including Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Texas, Utah, and others.

InnoAg Start

Synergistic Nutrient Combination to get crops to a great START.

InnoAg Start is a unique bio-nano foliar fertilizer with the ideal mix of primary, macro and micronutrients, not just traditional micro-nutrients. Besides NPK in equal proportions (14-14-14), it also supplies Ca, Mg and 6 essential micro-nutrients. Its unique formulation supports a uniform distribution of nutrients required for the initial growth stage and higher uptake. At the initial stages of plant growth, NPK plays a major role in stem and leaf growth, seed germination, root development, stress resistance and improvement of stem rigidity. It acts as a structural component of cell walls and improves root hairs (feeder roots).

It has been observed that the presence of many nutrients together can trigger chemical reactions leading to antagonism among nutrients. However, what distinguishes InnoAg Start is the perfect nutrient synergy, which is due to its proprietary technology. All the nutrients work with each other through the addition of proprietary enzymes derived from microbial extraction. The process starts with the isolation of microbes specialized in plant growth promotion, enhancement of nutrient availability, and performance. Metabolites containing enzymes are extracted from these microbial isolates and added to the InnoAg Start formulation. This combination also aids in chlorophyll production, cell wall formation, Nitrogen fixation, Nitrogen assimilation and Nitrogen metabolism.

The InnoAg Start formulation aids nutrient performance allowing for a lower dose, thereby reducing residues and cost per acre. InnoAg Start is used during the Initial Vegetative Growth stage of the crop. It can also be utilized at the fruiting stage (after 4–5 pickings) in multiple harvest crops. InnoAg Start supports sustainability by enhancing nutrient performance with its synergistic effect. The product is available for sale in various states such as Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Texas, Utah etc. and can be purchased from our website https://www.bioaginnovations.com/product/innoagstart/.

InnoAg Pro: The Performance Enhancer for Any Agri-Input

InnoAg Pro is an adjuvant which delivers plant protection products more efficiently to plant cells. According to Invasive.org (a joint project of the University of Georgia and UDA), adjuvants are chemically and biologically active compounds and improve the effectiveness of the pesticide they are added to by either increasing its desired impact and/or decreasing the total amount of formulation needed to achieve the desired impact. Some adjuvants alter the formulation to cover plant surfaces more completely and evenly, others increase the formulation’s penetration through the cuticular wax, cell walls, and/or stomatal openings. Also, adjuvants have been proven to enhance the formulation’s ability to kill the targeted species as well as to improve a pesticide’s efficacy reducing the total amount of pesticide required to achieve a given effect.

InnoAg Pro has a unique formulation developed locally in the United States. It has been proven to increase the effectiveness of herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and defoliants. It contains silicon dioxide and humic acid which helps in fastening the weed burndown. InnoAg Pro also enhances the delivery of active ingredients to plant cells thereby supporting the control of tough weeds, plant pathogens, and insect pests.

The formulation has been tested by different universities, specialists, and organizations and found that application rates of active ingredients were reduced, the effectiveness of fungicide applications was improved and approximately 25% higher concentration of active ingredient was found in the plant tissue post-application. It has also been found in trials that the formulation increases the effectiveness of pesticides especially herbicides and has been able to control 100% weed with a reduced dosage of the active ingredient by approximately 60%.   InnoAg Pro has also shown to increase the effectiveness of defoliants in irrigated cotton and to provide the same level of defoliation with half the defoliant dose as compared to 100% defoliant rate plus NIS.

InnoAg Pro is intended to be tank-mixed with agricultural products to improve absorption and can be used with most herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides which allow the use of adjuvants. With all the above benefits, adding an appropriate adjuvant can decrease the amount of pesticide applied and lower total costs for pest control. Moreover, adjuvants contribute to sustainable agriculture by reducing the use of pesticides. InnoAg Pro is available in Florida, Oregon, Texas, and Arizona and will soon be available in many more states. InnoAg Pro can be bought online from the Primary BioAg Innovations website.

InnoAg PepRrhiza

Boost Soil and Plant Vigor with Mycorrhiza & Peptides

InnoAg PepRrhiza is a biofertilizer containing nitrogen and Mycorrhiza spores. It supports plant and soil health by uniquely combining two powerful technologies: Mycorrhiza Fungi and Peptides. We understand that soil is comprised of countless species that create a dynamic and complex ecosystem and is the most precious resource on earth. Healthy soils are a key factor for sustainable development and food security. It is pivotal not only to maintain but rather to improve soil health and ensure optimum crop growth and productivity.

“Myco”–“rhiza” literally means “fungus” –“root” and describes the mutually beneficial relationship between the plant and the root fungus. InnoAg PepRrhiza leverages Mycorrhiza Fungi and Peptides to increase the root system absorbing surface to improve water and plant nutrient uptake. It also improves resistance to transplantation, drought, salinity, and other stresses as well as improves soil structure via glomalin production. Glomalin acts as a super glue helping soil, silt, and clay particles stick to each other and organic matter. This improves drainage and prevents soil erosion.

Mycorrhizal fungi form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots and increase the surface area of the roots 100 to 1,000 times. This greatly improves the plant’s ability to access soil re­sources. Mycorrhizal fungi increase nutrient uptake by 3 to 5 times, not only by increasing the surface absorbing area of the roots, but also by releasing powerful enzymes into the soil that dissolve hard-to-capture-nutri­ents, such as organic nitrogen, phosphorus, iron and other “tightly bound” soil nutrients.

Paired with Peptides, InnoAg PepRrhiza increases plant metabolism promoting greater cell growth and reducing stress on plants due to abiotic stresses. Unlike free amino acids, peptides have a more prominent, assured and natural plant nutritional effect, which results in faster growth, deeper roots, lateral root development, and enhanced nutrient uptake.

InnoAg PepRrhiza has 100 % vegetal origin, it is non-GMO, and safe product for crops and humans as it has low salinity, no antibiotics nor heavy metals. The product is a soluble powder designed for application in fertigation, with drip line or as root drench. InnoAg PepRrhiza is available in two different concentrations viz. 500 and 250. InnoAg PepRrhiza 500 contains 500 mycorrhizal fungi spores per gram while InnoAg PepRrhiza 250 has 250 spores. The products have spores of Funneliformis mosseae and Rhizoglomus irregulare in equal proportion. InnoAg PepRrhiza also supplies 5% organic nitrogen.

The synergy of these two technologies, Mycorrhiza, and peptides, maximizes nutrient uptake and use efficiency, as well as plant growth and abiotic stress resistance. The product has been designed to provide maximum benefit in such a manner that it is compatible with most common fertilizers, herbicides, and some fungicides, being an excellent sustainable fertilizer option for farmers. InnoAg PepRrhiza(s) are OMRI registered products and are appropriate for organic farming systems. At present InnoAg PepRrhiza 500 & 250 are available in various states including Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Ohio, Texas, Florida, Utah, and Idaho, and can be bought directly HERE. Hurry!
