1 Polymicrobial inoculant for optimizing fertilizer use and promoting root growth. Maximize return from fertilizer applications Improve harvest quality and yield Exceptional ROI

Grower Benefits Naturize is a mixture of highly effective proprietary strains of PGPR Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria that provide multiple modes of action for enhanced plant growth, yield

Phosphorus uptake is enhanced by greater root volume and Phosphorus solubilizing enzymes. Iron uptake and metal acquisition is improved by the production of natural chelating agents (siderophores).

2 Grower Benefits Naturize is a mixture of highly effective proprietary strains of PGPR Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria that provide multiple modes of action for enhanced plant growth, yield potential, and harvest quality. FERTILIZER EFFICIENCY Naturize improves the solubilization, cycling, and plant uptake of nutrients both from applied fertilizer and in the soil bank. Phosphorus uptake is enhanced by greater root volume and Phosphorus solubilizing enzymes. Iron uptake and metal acquisition is improved by the production of natural chelating agents (siderophores). IMPROVED HARVEST QUALITY AND YIELD POTENTIAL Production of growth promoting metabolites encourage root growth and provide greater leaf area, canopy development, and increased chlorophyll content. This results in increased production of starches, sugars and bio solids each of which contribute to improved harvest quality and yield. EASE OF APPLICATION Naturize is unique in the agriculture industry because of Pathway s formulation technology and ability to deliver a truly effective rate of bacterial spores when blended or applied with fertilizer. This provides the grower with consistent product performance without incurring additional application cost. EXCEPTIONAL ROI By optimizing fertilizer utilization and enhancing plant growth an exceptional ROI is realized not just from the product itself, but with crop production inputs as a whole. As a result, growers maximize yield potential and are positioned to be more profitable.

3 Poor root system limits nutrient and water uptake.

3 Nutrient Response 1 Fertilizer alone applied to crops. 2 Limited solubilization of fertilizer and nutrients in soil bank remain unavailable. 3 Poor root system limits nutrient and water uptake. 2 Naturize improves the solubilization of fertilizer into plant available forms, and releases bound nutrients. 1 Fertilizer with Naturize applied to crops at key growth stages. 3 More robust root system increases nutrient and water uptake.
