What makesAgCelence so
excellent?
The background scienceBASF scientists have created many of the most important developments in modern agricultural inputs. One such discovery was the fungicide PYRACLOSTROBIN. This active ingredient has been shown to be a very effective active ingredient for the control of many important diseases. Growers noticed that it also seemed to prolong the crop-growing period. Crops stayed green for a longer period of time. They also seemed better able to manage stress. It was very surprising, but research has shown how it works. This is how the AgCelence concept was born.
With AgCelence, increasedgrowth efficiency and betterstress management results in more yield potential for crops.
p 2
AgCelence is not magic. Its positive influence on crop performance and plant stress is due to a complex range of physiological effects in the plant which come from the energy centre of the plant cell. The AgCelence benefit acts by blocking electron transport within the mitochondrial respiratory chain. This reduces the amount of available ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and lowers the cytosol pH. These combined effects activate the enzyme nitrate reductase. This is the key to unlocking further plant physiological processes that generate AgCelence benefits which may include: • Increasednitrogenassimilation • Formationofnitrogenoxide(NO)leadingto: • inhibition of stress-induced ethylene production • increased antioxidative capacity (or: reduced oxidative stress)
Increased nitrogen assimilationWhen plants assimilate nitrogen, they use the nitrogen compounds ammonium (NH4) and nitrate (NO3) to build up nitrogenous organic compounds, for example proteins. AgCelence products can enhance nitrogen assimilation by increasing nitrate reductase activity in the plants.
Inhibition of ethylene biosynthesisNitrate reductase, which has already been mentioned, releases nitrogen oxide (NO) in the plant cells which in turn triggers further important processes, such as the inhibition of ethylene synthesis. Ethylene is a hormone that plants produce in response to stress. Plants also produce ethylene in response to injury, when they mature, prior to leaf, flower or pod loss and before pathogen-triggered cell death. Plants sacrifice important contributors to yield such as leaves, flowers or pods in an attempt to reduce the effects of stress. Reducing ethylene production is a means of limiting this natural response. AgCelence products based on PYRACLOSTROBIN cause plants to show fewer stress symptoms. This means that during the stress phase they may produce less ethylene. The ability of plants treated with AgCelence products to better manage drought stress has been particularly well researched.

Crop tolerance to droughtPlants under drought stress produce more ethylene. This triggers senescence (aging). Leaves begin to wilt and die. The loss of green leaves limits the plant’s ability to photosynthesize sufficiently and consequently to maximize yield potential. When crops are treated with AgCelence products and then subject to stress: • Emissionsofethylenemaybereduced • Stomatamanagementmaybeinfluencedtomaintainphotosynthesistoacertainextent • Prematureripeningmaybelesslikelytooccur

Increased antioxidative capacityThe nitrogen oxide (NO) produced by the nitrate reductase activated by AgCelence has a further important effect in addition to reducing ethylene-induced stress. Nitrogen oxide can release antioxidative enzymes which mop up dangerous free radicals. Plants produce free radicals in response to dangerous external influences, for example after injury or exposure to strong UV radiation. This is known as ozone damage and has been particularly well researched. Continuous exposure to hot sunshine is yet another stress factor that can be successfully relieved through the use of AgCelence products. Cereals, particularly some barley varieties, react to these conditions by developing a scorching condition known as physiological leaf spot (PLS), which leads to necrosis of leaf tissue and very high yield losses. The AgCelence benefit stimulates activity of an antioxidative enzyme called SOD (superoxide dismutase) which acts like a sunscreen and can reduce the development of physiological leaf spot. This is another factor that may prolong the green growing period and help plants keep filling grain, even under heat stress.

Summary of trials in Canada, 2006-2010.Trial description: Field-scale applications were conducted by growers across Canada. Four replicated and random samples were takes from the conventional and AgCelence treatments. Each bar represents 1 of 116 trials over 6 years.
Quality and Profitability• Two modes of action for early and late blight control• AgCelence, which may improve stress tolerance
and increase yield
Rate: 2.25 - 3.35 kg/ha (910g - 1.36 kg/ac)
Timing: Apply preventatively on a 7-10 day schedule. Begin applications at tuber initiation to help manage stress and control early and late blight. Alternate with a non-Group 11 fungicide like Cantus plus a protectant. Use the shorter interval during periods of very rapid growth.
Formulation: Water-dispersible granule

Formulation: Emulsifiable granule
Packaging: 1 case consists of 4 x 2.27 kg jugs
Coverage: 1 jug treats 3.39 ha (8.37 ac)
By interfering with cell respiration and the production of energy, Cabrio fungicide also causes fungi to stop growing and die. Cabrio is bound tightly to the waxy layer of the leaf and is extremely rainfast shortly after application.
