According to Bray1 et al.,
crops produce only 24%
of their yield potential
1 Mean of 6 crops: barley, maize, potatoes, soybeans, sugar beets, wheat

Stress Reduces Yields
By reducing the effects of
abiotic and biotic stress,
Nutriplant products
increase both yield and
quality of crops
3
• Nutriplant SD/SL seed treatment
• Nutriplant AG foliar nutrition
4
Product Description Nutritional supplement for emergence and root growth
• Dry Nutriplant SD for application in
the field at planting
• Liquid Nutriplant SL for commercial
and in-furrow application
Available in 2 forms:
5
Nutriplant SD/SL increases crop yield by:
• Providing essential nutrients for
development of strong shoots and roots
• Enhancing seedling vigor
• Stimulating root hair growth
• Reducing effects of abiotic stress
• Reducing effects of biotic stress
• Overcoming negative effects of pesticides
applied to seeds
Modes of Action
6
Nutriplant SD/SL provides nutrients
essential for development of strong
shoots and roots
Mode of Action
7
In roots Nutriplant SD increased the
content of copper (Cu) by 35%, iron (Fe)
by 53%, manganese (Mn) by 9.2% and
zinc (Zn) by 16% over untreated control
