1 FOLTRON Global Training Module

2 Biostimulant to enhance vegetative growth 1. Presentation & Composition: - Liquid formula for foliar spray - Contents: Folcisteine (0.275%) Macronutrients: N (ammonium 5.6%); P (P2O5 19.5%); K (K2O 5.0%); Mg (0.01%) Micronutrients: Mn (0.01%); Fe (0.05%); Zn (0.05%); B (0.008%); Cu (0.005%); Mo (0.0002%)

3 2. Mode of action: Folcisteine contained in Foltron slowly releases the Thiol groups (-SH) within the cell. S H Thiols are highly reactive in enzymatic processes Thiols regulate cell division and respiration Thiols prevent oxidation of cellular compounds Thiols are essential for metabolism of carbohydrates and proteins such as DNA, RNA & Ferrodoxin

4 2. Mode of action: Focus on antioxydant activity: Increasing of antioxydant in plants is signal of recovery from stress conditions. % Antioxydant activity in zucchhini plants after low temperature stress: % Control Foltron Research: ALS Mexico Laboratory Folcisteine contained in Foltron induces more antioxydant activity, thus helping the plant recovery from abiotic stress condition.

5 2. Mode of action: Focus on Ferrodoxin role in chloroplasts: During photosynthesis, Ferrodoxin manages the distribution of energy to different plant physiological processes. Folcisteine contained in Foltron thus activates photosynthesis.

6 3. Crop benefits: Activates photosynthesis Enhances vegetative growth Helps plant recovery after abiotic stress Correct mineral deficiences

7 4. Grower benefits: Row crops: accelerates vegetative growth, leading to higher yield Fruiting crops: increases marketable yield, fruit size & quality Easy-to-use, compatible with most PPP and fertilizers

8 5. Crops & global recommendations: Crop Rate Timing Solanaceous crops (pepper, tomato, eggplant) 2-3 L/ha 1st appl. at re-growth after transplanting; repeat every 2-3 weeks Cucurbits (cucumber, melons, watermelons etc.) 2-3 L/ha 1st appl. re-growth after transplanting; repeat every 2 weeks Brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower) Leafy crops (salads, tobacco, leguminosis) 2-3 L/ha 1st appl. at re-growth after transplanting; repeat every 2-3 weeks 2-3 L/ha 1st appl. at re-growth after transplanting; repeat every 10 days Cereals 2-3 L/ha 1st appl. at beginning of tillering (BBCH 21-23) 2 nd appl. at flag leaf stage (BBCH 37) Rice 2-3 L/ha 1 st appl. at tillering; 2 nd appl. at flag leaf stage Maize & Sorghum Oilseed rape Potato Cotton 2-3 L/ha At 4-8 leaves stage 2-3 L/ha 1 st appl. at stem elongation; repeat after 2 weeks 2-3 L/ha 1 st appl. at cm plant height; repeat every 2-3 weeks 2-3 L/ha 1 st appl. before flowerbud setting; repeat every 2-3 weeks
