InnoAg Pro Enhances Pesticide Efficacy Against Downy Mildew and Leaf Miners in Cucurbits

After the successful trial of Inno Ag Pro in Imperata Cylindrica (Cogongrass) in Oil Palm in Indonesia, another trial was conducted in China. The trial aimed to test the pesticide efficiency improvement with InnoAg Pro tank-mix against Downy Mildew of Pumpkin and Leaf Miner Insect.

Downy Mildew is a disease caused by the oomycete Pseudoperonospora cubensis. P. cubensis thrives in wet or very humid conditions and infects cucurbits including cucumber, melon, pumpkin, and squash. It causes yellow to brown lesions on top of the leaves that are restricted by leaf veins. As the lesions age, they usually become necrotic and the leaves often senesce. The leaves are the only portion of the plant directly affected by downy mildew. However, the loss in leaf surface can cause loss of yield, misshapen fruit, and sunscald.

Leaf Miners are the larval or maggot stage of several kinds of insects have developed this habit, including moths (Lepidoptera), beetles (Coleoptera), sawflies (Hymenoptera) and flies (Diptera). The adults insert eggs into leaves. Upon hatching, the larvae feed and develop within the leaf tissue and between leaf surfaces. They produce large patches or winding tunnels of dead tissue. The larvae are active for about two to three weeks. Unchecked damage can cause excessive leaf-drop and other severe effects. The feeding tunnels created on the foliage can become pathways for diseases or fungal spores.

The objective of this trial was to compare effectiveness of Difenoconazole and Cyromazine to control Downy Mildew and Leaf Miners, respectively, when applied alone and in conjunction with InnoAg Pro. Four treatments were performed with different dose combinations of Difenoconazole and Cyromazine tank-mixed with InnoAg Pro. After application four follow-ups were done. The treatments are described below:

T1: Control

T2: Difenoconazole and Cyromazine (600g+375ml/ha) Application: Foliar

T3: Difenoconazole, Cyromazine and InnoAg Pro (450g+281.3ml+300ml/ha) Application: Foliar.

T4: Difenoconazole, Cyromazine and InnoAg Pro (300g+187.5ml+300ml/ha) Application: Foliar.

InnoAg Pro is a bio-nano adjuvant which delivers plant protection products more efficiently to plant cells. It has been proven to increase the effectiveness of herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and defoliants. When tank-mixed with a crop protection product, InnoAg Pro creates a shield around the active ingredient which increases spread and adhesion to the weed surface, and penetration onto the plant tissue making active ingredients more effective. The increased pesticide effectiveness triggered by InnoAg Pro frequently allows for a 25 to 30% rate reduction on pesticide application.

The trial results clearly show that the addition of InnoAg Pro to Difenoconazole and Cyromazine gave better results.

Leaf miner Control: Efficacy was measured by taking an account of the number of pupae and the number of remnant larva on the new leaves in each treatment. The results showed that 25% reduction of Cyromazine + InnoAg Pro at 300ml/ha, provided 90.1% efficacy. Cyromazine at 50% of the recommended rate tan-mixed with InnoAg Pro also provided better leaf miner control than the conventional dose of Cyromazine alone. However, it is not recommended to reduce the recommended label rate by 50% when tank mixing with adjuvants, especially in high pest pressure conditions.

Downy mildew Control: The addition of InnoAg Pro, at 300 ml per ha, to 75% and 50% of Difenoconazole rate significantly improved downy mildew control as compared to Difenoconazole alone at 100% of the recommended rate. Difenoconazole at 75% of the standard dose, tank-mixed with InnoAg Pro yielded the best result, whereas the 50% Difenoconazole dose reduction with the adjuvant also provided better Downy Mildew control than the full dose of Difenoconazole alone.

Under the conditions of this trial, the results support the assertion that a 25% reduction on Difenoconazole and Cyromazine rate delivers superior pest control mixed with the bio-nano adjuvant, InnoAg Pro. The addition of InnoAg Pro is cost-effective as well as supports sustainability.

InnoAg Pro Controls Imperata Cylindrica (Cogongrass) to Perfection

InnoAg Pro is a bio-nano adjuvant that delivers plant protection products more efficiently to plant cells. It has been proven to increase the effectiveness of herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and defoliants. When tank-mixed with an herbicide, InnoAg Pro creates a shield around the active ingredient which increases spread and adhesion to the weed surface, and penetration onto the weed tissue making active ingredients more effective. The increased pesticide effectiveness triggered by InnoAg Pro frequently allows for a 25 to 30% rate reduction on pesticide application.  

Recently, InnoAg Pro was tested in Indonesia for its efficacy against Imperata cylindrica, a rapid growing perennial grass infesting oil palm. The species is commonly known in English as “cogongrass”. Other common names in English include kunai grass, blady grass, satintail, spear grass, sword grass, thatch grass, alang-alang, lalang grass, cotton wool grass, and kura-kura among others. Cogongrass is native to Thailand, Philippines, Japan, portions of East China, and East Africa. Some countries in Southern and Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, Middle East, North America, South America, and Oceania have listed it as an invasive weed species.  Several US states have declared cogongrass as a noxious weed.   

The objective of this trial was to compare the effectiveness of Glyphosate to control Cogongrasswhen applied alone and in conjunction with InnoAg Pro. Four treatments were performed with different dose combinations of InnoAg Pro and Glyphosate. Each treatment had four replications. The volume of water used was 500 L/ha and the plot size was 10 m x 20 m (200 m2) each. The treatments are described below: 

L1: Glyphosate 2 L/Ha; 

L2: InnoAg Pro 300 mL/Ha + Glyphosate 2 L/Ha;  

L3: InnoAg Pro 300 mL/Ha + 75% Glyphosate rate (1.5 L/Ha); 

L4: InnoAg Pro 300 mL/Ha + 50% Glyphosate rate (1 L/Ha); 

L5: InnoAg Pro 300 mL/Ha + 25% Glyphosate rate (0.5 L/Ha) 

InnoAg Pro THUMBNAIL

The trial images clearly show that the addition of InnoAg Pro to glyphosate treatment sped up the rate of leaf burndown and reduced the number of weeds in the field. Treatments L2 (InnoAgPro + full Glyphosate rate) and L3 (InnoAg Pro + 75% Glyphosate rate) provided better and faster weed control than Glyphosate alone at the full dose. InnoAg Pro did not show any sign of phytotoxicity to the immature Oil Palm plants.   

Effect of Different Treatments on the control of Iperata cylindrica (Cogongrass) after 4 weeks of application

Under the conditions of this trial, the results support the assertion that a 25% reduction in Glyphosate rate delivers superior weed control when the herbicide is tank-mixed with the nano adjuvant, InnoAg Pro. The addition of InnoAg Pro to the standard Glyphosate treatment is not only a cost-effective option, but it is also a step towards sustainability.

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.
