Benefits of Proven Foliar containing Phosphite--
- Promotes increase plant health and metabolic functioning
- Stimulates a plants natural defense mechanisms including
- phytoalexin and antioxidant production (3)
- Directly limits the growth and development of the
- oomycetes (Pythium spp., Phytoplora, and Plasmopara)
Plant Defense Responses
Plants naturally defend against biotic and abiotic pests by triggering specific metabolic responses after pathogen infection, or the onset of adverse environmental conditions such as drought, heat, or salinity. Phosphite has been documented to upregulate these vital metabolic processes necessary for maximum plant health.
Benefits of Proven Foliar phosphate fertilizers containing phosphate are:
- Phosphorus nutrition is important for turfgrass abiotic stress tolerance and often unavailable (complexed) in the soil.
- Phosphite stimulates additional plant defense responses
- Phosphite can be used as one component to an integrated pest management program (see back)
- Optimum turfgrass health is maintained with adequate primary and secondary macro and micronutrient nutrition
- Application of phosphate under P deficiency conditions could be detrimental to plants
