Arable crops

With continued dry weather for parts of the country, there is the worry that crops could start to be affected by the lack of moisture, this is classed as an abiotic stress to the plant.

So how can we help crops through this stressful period? One way is to ensure there are no nutritional limiting factors, making sure the crop has all the key micronutrients required. Alongside this we can use biostimulant products that are specifically designed to help with stress associated with drought- conditions.

YaraAmplix OPTITRAC was developed to help alleviate the impact of abiotic stress, such as drought-stress, whilst helping the plant during periods of high metabolic demand and ensuring processes, such as flowering and grain/fruit set, are stimulated.

It contains a carefully selected blend of nutrients designed to reinforce the action of the bioactive compounds derived from Ascophyllum nodosum, well-known for its improved nutrient uptake, stress tolerance and overall plant vigour. All of these factors can help get the plant through testing times when water is the limiting factor.

Another important thing to consider is whether biostimulant products will tank mix with nutrients that might also be required. OPTITRAC is very tankmixable with most YaraVita products, if in doubt you can check the free tankmix service from Yara using the TX app. All tankmixes that have been carried out will appear in the app, if the mix you are looking for isn’t there you can request it from our lab.
