Plant Establishment
Acadian Plant Health™ solutions produce crops with full, well-developed plant roots that can make the most out of available water and nutrients for crop establishment. Our agricultural products enhance root growth and development and this, in turn, improves plant vigour. Stronger plants are better at coping with and recovering from environmental stress, and this leads to better quality crops.
PLANTS ARE OFTEN EXPOSED TO HARSH GROWING CONDITIONS DURING EARLY ROOT DEVELOPMENT. USE ACADIAN PLANT HEALTH™ CROP CARE SOLUTIONS TO:
- Create bigger, stronger plant root systems that
- Improve the plant’s ability to absorb nutrients
- Increase capacity to store carbohydrates that are used to fuel plant growth and development
- In legume crops, enhance the formation of plant root nodules, which store beneficial bacteria that convert nitrogen into a format the plant can use
- Increase healthy populations of microbes in soil
- Enhance the growth and uniformity of shoots (plant stems and their leaves, petals, etc.)
SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN, FIELD-TESTED SOLUTIONS
COFFEE FIELD TRIAL
COFFEE FIELD TRIAL ‘COFFEA ARABICA IAC 125 RN (IBC12)’
MINAS GERAIS, BRAZIL
In this field trial with young coffee plants, enhanced root growth was seen in plants treated with an Acadian Plant Health™ agricultural product.
WINE GRAPES TRIAL
WINE GRAPES TRIAL ‘MUSCAT’
DR. JAMES S. CRAIGIE RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT CENTER, CANADA
In this wine grapes trial, applications of an Acadian Plant Health™ product led to a 100% increase in total plant root length.
ALFALFA UNIVERSITY TRIAL
ALFALFA UNIVERSITY TRIAL
DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY, CANADA
In this field trial, applications of an Acadian Plant Health™ product led to a 45% increase in the number of nodules in the roots of alfalfa plants. Nodules store beneficial bacteria that convert nitrogen into a format the plant can use. With optimum amounts of nitrogen, alfalfa plants can produce optimum yields.
LETTUCE FIELD TRIAL
LETTUCE FIELD TRIAL ‘JUPITER’
CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES
In this lettuce field trial, significant improvements were observed in early plant root development when an Acadian Plant Health™ product was added to a grower’s standard program. Treated plants showed an increase in total root length of 77% and an increase in root surface area of 33% over the control.
