Question:
Application of Nutriplant seed treatment products with starter fertilizers.
Answer:
Nutriplant seed treatment products can be applied in conjunction with starter fertilizers, but should not be mixed together.
When starter fertilizer is applied using two by two (2×2) method:
This common method applies fertilizer two inches to the side and two inches below the planted seeds.
Apply starter fertilizer as recommended by the supplier.
Apply Nutriplant SD seed treatment directly to seeds and plant treated seeds as usual. OR
Apply Nutriplant SL seed treatment directly to seeds or in-furrow. Nutriplant SL should not be applied using “2×2” method because the product has to be placed in contact with seeds.
When starter fertilizers are applied in-furrow:
This method is less common because it may deliver too much fertilizer too close to seeds and developing seedlings causing crop damage.
Apply Nutriplant SD directly to the seeds and plant treated seeds as usual. Spray starter fertilizer in-furrow as recommended. OR
Apply Nutriplant SL directly to seeds and plant treated seeds as usual. Spray starter fertilizer in-furrow as recommended. If field has been fertilized before planting, Nutriplant SL may be applied in furrow instead of starter fertilizer.
Note: Nutriplant SL product should not be mixed with starter fertilizers containing phosphorus, because phosphorus may precipitate micronutrients present in Nutriplant SL product.
Question:
Applying Nutriplant SD to seeds planted with air planter.
Answer:
Seeds can be treated with Nutriplant SD and planted using air or vacuum precision planters. Apply Nutriplant SD to seeds before planting. Application should be made in such a way that all seeds are thoroughly coated. Fill seed hopper half full of seeds, apply half of the recommended dosage of Nutriplant SD and mix until uniformly coated. Fill the seed hopper with the remaining seeds, spread the balance of the recommended dosage of Nutriplant SD on top of the seeds and stir again to obtain uniform coating of all seeds.
Please check the manual of planter for talc/graphite application. If talc/graphite is required, mix Nutriplant SD with seeds first. The purpose of the graphite or talc is to lubricate seeds. Since SD is a very fine powder with talc-like/graphite-like qualities, it serves to lubricate the seeds. Therefore, the rate or graphite or talc can be reduced or adjusted, so there is only very little left at the bottom of seed hopper.

Question:
Comparison of Nutriplant seed treatment products with growth regulators influencing root growth and development.
Answer:
Nutriplant seed treatment products are not growth regulators. Growth regulators, like auxins, regulate cell divisions and elongation of the root system. Nutriplant seed treatment products are nutritional supplements, which support growth of roots and shoots of seedlings, and enhance growth of root hairs, which are involved in absorption of water and nutrients to plants.
Question:
Compatibility of Nutriplant products with agrochemicals, insecticides, fungicides, herbicides.
Answer:
Liquid Nutriplant products are compatible with most agrochemicals currently on the market. However, we recommend a small test (“jar test”) to insure compatibility of the mix before mixing any agrochemicals with Nutriplant products on a large scale, because formulations of agrochemicals differ widely.
The “jar test” procedure. Add products to water beginning with wettable powders, one at the time, in the same proportion as it would be added to the tank mix. Stir the solution until added product is completely dissolved. Repeat procedure for each product. Mix solution thoroughly after last addition. Check the mixture for chemical compatibility (separation, precipitation, etc.). We also recommend spraying a small area first and waiting a few days to see if the mix is safe before spraying a large area.
We do not recommend mixing of Nutriplant AG and Nutriplant SL products with liquid fertilizers containing phosphates. We also do not recommend application of Nutriplant products with glyphosate.
Question:
Diluting Nutriplant SL for application directly to the seed.
Answer:
Dilution of Nutriplant SL product when applied directly to the seed is generally not recommended. However, if seeds cannot be thoroughly coated with the product alone small dilution of 1 part product to 1 or 2 parts water is acceptable to ensure uniform coating of the seeds. Dilutions greater than 1 part of Nutriplant SL to 4 parts of water should be avoided since too much water can cause the seeds to begin to germinate before they are planted.
Question:
Diluting Nutriplant SL for application in-furrow.

Question:
Nutriplant SD use with a Kinzie planter.
Answer:
Nutriplant SD works well in Kinzie planters when the correct product dose is used and the product is mixed well with seeds. Kinzie planters are particularly sensitive to over-use of powders of any kind. It is important to use 1 oz of graphite per seed hopper on top of treated seeds, every other fill up, to lubricate the moving parts. Addition of more graphite will cause build up around the axle of the seed plate and will overwhelm the system. It is imperative that Kinzie planters be serviced regularly as per the Owner’s Manual. Failure to do so results in an accumulation of debris and excess powder around the hub of the finger pickup unit and eventual damage to the machine. An overdose of Nutriplant SD or failure to thoroughly mix the product with the seed can result in excessive loose powder, which can obscure electronic eyes of monitor systems.
Question:

Nutriplant SD cannot be applied through drip irrigation system, because it is a powder that is not water soluble.

Question:
Please explain how the antioxidants in Nutriplant AG work to protect plants?
Answer:
Stress causes production of excessive amounts of free radicals in cells, leading to damage of cell structures and disruption of normal cell functions resulting in tissue death. Antioxidants protect plant tissue from damage caused by free radicals by donating electrons, which “satisfy” or “neutralize” free radicals so they are no longer reactive.

Question:
Procedure for preparation of tank mixes.
Answer:
If the “jar test” shows no incompatibilities of the mixed products, proceed with the tank mix (see the example below).
Standard tank mix procedure: 1) Fill the spray tank about 3/4ths full with clean water. 2) Begin agitation. 3) Check for water hardness and adjust with ammonium sulfate if necessary. 4) Add each product one by one, beginning with wettable powders, if any, and allow a few minutes for each product to mix with the water before adding the next product. 5) After adding the last product, check the pH of the mixture and adjust as needed (see product labels). 6) Top off the tank with water and continue agitation. Do not store solution in the tank without agitation.

Question:
Science behind Nutriplant products and what makes Nutriplant AG and SD superior to other products on the market.
Answer:
Nutriplant AG is a liquid concentrate obtained through a unique, proprietary technology. It enhances crop production through improvement of photosynthetic activity, increased chlorophyll concentration in the tissue and increased nutrient uptake through the root system. The genetic potential of a crop is rarely achieved due to the abiotic stress such as heat, cold, drought and excessive UV radiation, encountered during the growing season. Abiotic stress disrupts the metabolism of the plant and reduces nutrient absorption and translocation. When nutrients are limited during crucial stages of plant development such as flowering, fruit set and fruit maturation, yields and crop quality can be dramatically reduced. Through its antioxidant activity Nutriplant AG reduces impact of abiotic stress, leading to better yields and improved quality of crops. Nutriplant AG contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, boron, cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc. Nitrogen and boron are essential for bud vigor and fruit set. Nitrogen and zinc are needed for fruit size. Phosphorus hastens maturity and improves fruit quality, while potassium improves fruit color and increases cold hardiness. Sulfur is needed for flavor and protein synthesis. Cobalt increases resistance to stress and copper contributes to color and flavor development. Iron promotes flowering and fruit set. Manganese aids in sugar metabolism, and molybdenum is involved in transport of phosphorus, a very important element in energy transport and storage. The synergism of all of these elements makes Nutriplant AG effective. Benefits reported by farmers include increased stress resistance, improved quality, increased yields, easy to apply and cost effective.
Nutriplant SD, manufactured through a unique proprietary technology, is designed to enhance seedling emergence and growth. Ingredients contained in Nutriplant seed treatment products activate a number of crucial enzymes and help optimize metabolic pathways necessary for proper seedling development. Seedlings grown from seeds treated with Nutriplant SD have bigger root and shoot mass. The product also improves growth of root hairs to help with efficient uptake of nutrients and water. Stronger, more vigorous seedlings develop into healthier plants capable of producing higher yields. Our research also indicates that Nutriplant SD, when used in combination with commonly used pesticide and fungicide treatments, helps the seedling to overcome initial inhibitory effect of these compounds. Nutriplant SD helps plants overcome the negative effects of abiotic stress, the main cause of yield reduction in crops. Nutriplant seed treatment contains magnesium, sulfur, cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc. (Nutriplant SD also contains calcium.) Calcium is needed for root and leaf development and improved plant vigor. Magnesium regulates uptake of other nutrients and activates a number of crucial enzymes. Sulfur, zinc and copper are essential for formation of proteins and activation of enzymes necessary for seedling growth. Iron and manganese are crucial in sugar metabolism to produce energy for seedling emergence. Magnesium and molybdenum aid in the transport of phosphorus, which is important in energy transfer. Cobalt influences plant resistance to stress. The synergism of all of these elements makes Nutriplant seed treatment effective. Benefits reported by farmers include quicker emergence, better stands, stronger root systems and increased yields. Generally, Nutriplant AG and SD outperform competitive products based on the field trials.
Question:
Stability of Nutriplant products when the container is opened?
Answer:
Nutriplant products should remain stable when opened and closed after first use if stored in original container and according to label instructions. However, manufacturer will not guarantee the product performance if the product was opened and stored under not recommended conditions.
Store products at temperatures between freezing and 110°F, keep container tightly closed and do not store in direct sunlight. Do not store diluted product.
Question:
Stability of Nutriplant products.
Answer:
Nutriplant products are stable for three years if stored according to label instructions. Store products at temperatures between freezing and below 110°F, keep container tightly closed and do not store in direct sunlight.
Question:
Use of Nutriplant SD powder in planters requiring graphite or talc application.
Answer:
Please check the manual of planter for talc/graphite application. If talc/graphite is required, mix the Nutriplant SD with seeds first. Application should be made in such a way that all seeds are thoroughly coated. Fill seed hopper half full of seeds, apply half of the recommended dosage of Nutriplant SD and mix until uniformly coated. Fill the seed hopper with the remaining seeds, spread the balance of the recommended dosage of Nutriplant SD on top of the seeds and stir again until all seeds are uniformly coated. The purpose of the graphite or talc is to lubricate seeds. Since SD is a very fine powder with talc-like/graphite-like qualities, it serves to lubricate seeds. Therefore, the rate of graphite or talc can be reduced or adjusted, so there is only very little left at the bottom of hopper.
Question:
Using Nutriplant AG with growth regulators on cotton.
Answer:
Nutriplant AG can be applied to cotton during reproductive stages when it does not stimulate new vegetative growth.
Question:
What happens if Nutriplant products freeze?
Answer:
Nutriplant SD is a powder, not susceptible to freezing.
Nutriplant AG and Nutriplant SL are liquids. Freezing of these products will not reduce product performance but may cause formation of crystals or precipitation in the product, which potentially may clog application equipment. If liquid product is exposed to freezing temperatures, bring it back to room temperature and mix thoroughly. Perform a screen check before use to verify that the crystallization did not occur. Use 30 mesh screen or higher depending on application equipment.
Generally, store products at temperatures between freezing and 110°F, keep container tightly closed, do not store diluted product or in direct sunlight. Shake product well before using.

Question:
Why in-furrow application rate of Nutriplant SL is higher than on seed application?
Answer:
The in-furrow application rate of Nutriplant SL is higher than on seed application, because product is applied not only to seeds but also to the soil (between seeds) and therefore more product is needed than just for the seed application.
Question:
Will Nutriplant help to control a root rot problem?
Answer:
Nutriplant products may help as an addition to fungicides, but they are not and should not be promoted or sold as fungicides or any other pesticide. They do have elicitor effects, which mean they stimulate the natural defense system of the plant, making the crop more resistant to disease.
