Foliar-Act Boosts Your Corn & Bean

AgriTec International’s Foliar-Act® Liquid Foliar Feed is an incredibly effective solution for maximizing crop yields while maintaining high quality. Foliar-Act is designed to enhance the growth and yield of corn and beans and can significantly boost their productivity.

Understanding Foliar-Act

Foliar-Act supports plant health in a way comparable to how multivitamins support human health. It is designed for rapid absorption on the plant’s leaf surface, making it efficient at delivering essential nutrients and growth stimulants directly to the plants. By applying Foliar-Act during vegetative and reproductive stages, farmers can enhance nutrient uptake, strengthen natural defense systems, and establish large root systems. All of these benefits come together to result in stronger stalks, higher yields and happier farmers.

The Science Behind Foliar-Act

Foliar-Act supports plant health in a way comparable to how multivitamins support human health. It is designed for rapid absorption on the plant’s leaf surface, making it efficient at delivering essential nutrients and growth stimulants directly to the plants. By applying Foliar-Act during vegetative and reproductive stages, farmers can enhance nutrient uptake, strengthen natural defense systems, and establish large root systems. All of these benefits come together to result in stronger stalks, higher yields and happier farmers.

The Science Behind Foliar-Act

Rapid Nutrient Absorption: Foliar-Act’s formulation ensures that nutrients are quickly absorbed through the leaf surface. This rapid absorption is crucial during key growth stages of corn and beans when timely nutrient delivery can make a significant difference in plant health and productivity. By improving nutrient uptake, Foliar-Act ensures that plants receive the necessary elements to support robust growth and development.

Enhancing Natural Plant Defenses: One of the key benefits of Foliar-Act is its ability to boost the plant’s natural defense systems. This enhancement is particularly important in protecting crops from diseases, insect pressures, and adverse weather conditions. By strengthening these natural defenses, Foliar-Act helps ensure that crops remain healthy and productive throughout the growing season.

Root and Stalk Strength: Strong root systems and stalks are vital for high-yield crops. Foliar-Act promotes the development of larger root systems, which in turn supports better nutrient and water uptake. Stronger stalks help plants withstand environmental stresses, reducing the likelihood of lodging and other damage that can compromise yield.

Benefits of Using Foliar-Act on Corn and Beans

Improved Plant Growth and Vigor: The comprehensive nutrient profile of Foliar-Act supports overall plant growth and vigor. For corn and beans, this means more robust plants that are better equipped to reach their full yield potential.

Enhanced Nutrient Uptake and Utilization: Foliar-Act works to improve the availability and uptake of both applied fertilizers and the nutrients already present in the soil. By triggering beneficial microbial growth and enzymatic activity, Foliar-Act converts insoluble nutrients into forms that plants can easily utilize, ensuring that crops get the maximum benefit from soil and fertilizer inputs.

Increased Crop Quality and Yield: The ultimate goal of using Foliar-Act is to increase crop quality and yield. By supporting healthy growth, enhancing nutrient uptake, and strengthening plant defenses, Foliar-Act helps farmers achieve higher yields of high-quality corn and beans.

Recovery from Environmental Stresses: Foliar-Act is particularly effective in helping crops recover from environmental stresses such as extreme temperatures, adverse weather conditions, and pest or disease pressures. This resilience translates into more consistent yields, even under challenging conditions.

Offset Negative Effects of Glyphosate: Glyphosate, the most active ingredient in RoundUp®, can have negative effects on plant health and soil biology soil biology. Foliar-Act helps offset these effects, supporting healthy growth and microbial activity even in fields treated with glyphosate.

Increased Microbial Activity: One of the standout features of Foliar-Act is its ability to increase healthy indigenous microbial microbial activity in the soil by up to 5000% within 72 hours of application. This explosion of beneficial microbes plays a crucial role in nutrient cycling and soil health, further supporting robust plant growth and high yields.

Practical Applications in Corn and Bean Farming

Timing and Application: For optimal results, Foliar-Act should be applied during the vegetative and reproductive stages of crop development. This timing ensures that plants receive the necessary nutrients and growth stimulants when they are most needed. Foliar applications are typically performed using sprayers, ensuring even coverage of the leaf surface for maximum absorption.

Integration with Fertilizer Programs: Foliar-Act can be integrated into existing fertilizer programs to enhance the effectiveness of applied fertilizers. By improving nutrient uptake and utilization, Foliar-Act helps farmers get more value from their fertilizer investments, contributing to a higher return on investment.

Managing Environmental Stresses: In areas prone to extreme weather conditions or pest pressures, Foliar-Act provides an added layer of protection. By strengthening plant defenses and promoting recovery from stress, Foliar-Act helps ensure that crops remain productive even under less-than-ideal conditions.

Customer Testimonials

  • “I can tell you it worked. The OMRI Calcium we used last year got rid of the broom sedge in most of our fields. They are looking really nice. We are going to try some Adv-Cal that has the Foliar-Act Foliar-Act.” MO 2021 
  • “I got a way more Hay off of the first cut than usual and after I cut my hay where I sprayed the Nitro-Maxx + and Foliar-Act it was still green and everywhere else I didn’t spray was brown, so I’d like another tote to treat the rest of my Hay ground.” – NJ 2024
  • “I used Adv-Cal and Bio-Act on my hay fields and couldn’t believe the green thick hay I had coming in! I told my buddy who raises corn to call Caleb and get himself some.” – NC 2023
