TALISMAN

Biostimulants

Pidolic acid and R100 biostimulants combined with multi-nutrients.

In 50 independent trials conducted by Universities, Research Institutes and Contract Trials Organisations, the average response to Talisman was +5.8%, typically representing a 5:1 return on investment.

Talisman contains a blend of Biostimulants with complementary modes of action and a balanced, broad spectrum nutrient combination to increase yield and quality.In healthy conditions, pidolic acid increases chlorophyll concentration and nitrogen assimilation, R100 boosts cytokinin concentrations and the combination powers growth. Absorption of foliar nutrients through the waxy cuticle is increased by R100 and dimethyl sulphone, helping drive yield.

In challenging conditions, Talisman can be used at the onset of abiotic stress (e.g. drought, heat, rapid growth) to help alleviate symptoms. The pidolic acid maintains chlorophyll concentration and green leaf retention, reducing toxic ammonia build up and associated leaf yellowing.

In stressed conditions, R100 and dimethyl sulphone ensure foliar nutrients are readily available to maintain the plant and prime it for recovery.

TALISMAN

Pidolic acid is a signaling compound at the heart of the nitrogen assimilation process.

Normal conditionsDuring the nitrogen assimilation cycle ammonia is used to form Glutamine which is then used as a building block in many Amino acids. Amino Acids are used by the plant among other things to construct protein and nucleic acid.When this cycle is in equilibrium growth and respiration occur unimpeded. Pidolic acid is a signalling compound right at the heart of the nitrogen assimilation cycle.Under normal conditions an application of pidolic acid in Talisman will maximise the production of glutamic acid and glutamine by increasing the rate of nitrogen assimilation.

Stressed conditionsLack of Pidolic acid signals to the plant that it is under stress from temperature, water or nutrient related causes. Toxic ammonia accumulation will begin and the plant will catabolise its own reserves so that respiration can continue, which is when we see symptoms such as yellowing of leaves.Higher concentrations of Pidolic acid will allow the plant to continue to grow during short periods of stressful weather.

R100 biostimulant contains a patented combination of two disubstituted urea compounds (DPU) and gamma polyglutamic acid.

DPU boosts cytokinin levels in tissues with resulting increased cell division and growth.

Gamma-PGA binds to foliar applied cations to improve uptake.
