IMPROVE CROP GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT
Add Stimplex® to your crop nutrition program to stimulate root growth, as well as tolerance to abiotic stress.
SET THE STAGE FOR STRONGER GROWTH & HIGHER YIELDS
Stimplex® is a liquid Ascophyllum nodosum extract which improves the growth and development of plants by working at the cellular level to activate pathways that increase stress tolerance, stimulate root growth, and improve nutrient uptake. Optimum nutritional uptake and increased tolerance to environmental stress lead to greater yields and better quality crops- results you can measure.
STIMPLEX BENEFITS
Enhances root systems including the formation of small absorptive roots and root tips which increase root surface area and facilitate greater water movement allowing for improved nutrient translocation.
Regular applications have been shown to increase harvestable yields through improved root growth and plant establishment, nutritional uptake and the plant’s ability to better manage abiotic and biotic stress.
By stimulating plant defense mechanisms and pathways – improves resistance to biotic stress challenges.
Elicits antioxidant production when the plant is under stress, which improves crop tolerance to abiotic stress challenges including drought, salinity, heat and chill.

APPLICATION RATES AND TIMING
Stimplex can be used in a wide range of crops to improve root and shoot growth and stress tolerance levels in plants. A water-soluble liquid that is suitable for use in liquid foliar, soil applied, irrigation, side-dressed, ground rig or aerial applications. Working synergistically with your existing nutritional program, Stimplex can be tank mixed with most commonly used fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and other agricultural inputs. If interaction of chemicals is unknown, a “jar” compatibility test is recommended.
*For crop specific usage rates and timing, please see the label
APPLICATION METHOD: FOLIAR
Fill half the spray tank with water, begin agitating and gradually add recommended amount of Stimplex with remainder of water and spray solution. Use enough water for good spray coverage. The foliar spray should be applied as a fine mist, with low fluid velocity until the foliage is wet.
See label crop specific application timings.
Notes:
- Do not apply in rain, high winds, or extreme temperature conditions
- Apply during the cool part of the day or when temperatures are <30ﹾC
- Use a surfactant for maximum dispersal and leaf adherence
APPLICATION METHOD: SOIL
Application Information: Soil applied treatments can be made by mixing with soil-applied fertility, directed sprays to the soil, sidedress treatments, applications through irrigation systems or other systems which effectively apply Stimplex to the soil.
Notes: Avoid heavy irrigation following application
*Stimplex is compatible with many pesticides and nutrients. Always read and follow label directions and conduct a jar test for a new blend.
PERFORMANCE DATA
stimplex on Avocados
Regular applications of Stimplex throughout the growing season increase the number of fruit which lead to yield increases of up to 100% higher than the control.
LOCATION: Urupan, Mexico
YEARS: 2011-2012
DESIGN: Randomized complete block with 6 replications
PLOT SIZE: 2 trees
VARIETY: Hass
TREATMENTS
CONTROL: Grower standard practices
TREATMENT: The same as the control plus monthly foliar applications of Stimplex at 2 litres per hectare approximately once per month from September 2011 to October 2012.
Note: The same Trees were also treated in the 2010/2011 season. Please consult your local representative or distributor to confirm local application guidelines.
RESULTS
The addition of Stimplex to the standard grower program resulted in significant increases in fruit number. Increases ranged from 80% to 99% compared to the control.
Means with different letters are statistically different (ANOVA test, p=0.05).
