PHOTON®
Improve yields by helping your crop fight off stress.
Dicarboxylic acid, the active ingredient in PHOTON®
What is PHOTON®?
PHOTON® increases the yield and/or quality of treated crops, increasing grower returns. PHOTON® helps crops remain productive under adverse environmental conditions, including heat, cold, drought, excess radiation, and salinity. PHOTON® is a blend of dicarboxylic acids and compounds which occur naturally in plants.
What does PHOTON® do?
PHOTON® stimulates the key stress sensing enzyme systems in plants so that they are prepared to react quickly and effectively to environmental tresses, such as excessive temperatures (hot and cold), drought, salinity, and high radiation. PHOTON® is applied as a foliar spray and is taken in by the plant within 24 hours. After this the product is rain-fast. PHOTON® remains effective in the plant for several weeks to more than a month, after which it becomes inert. Targeted applications are effective in row crops such as corn, soybeans, cereals, canola, and many others. To obtain the best results in horticultural crops, PHOTON® should be used in a season-long program to maintain the protection against abiotic stresses.
