DragSlayer 0-0-1 Fights yield Drag
The chemical glyphosate is not the cause of yield drag. Glyphosate is a powerful chelator, so it binds with micronutrients and reduces their availability to the plant. The plant needs those micronutrients, particularly calcium and manganese, to produce crucial enzymes (EPSPS) for its immunity to pathogens. Glyphosate also strongly stimulates the growth of pathogens like fusarium and pythium. This lack of availability of essential micronutrients to make enzymes for immune protection combined with the growth of pathogens, causes the plant to become weakened and the result is commonly referred to as “yield drag”.
The plant now works
harder to seek secondary metabolic pathways to
produce these necessary enzymes that it can’t
produce when micronutrients aren’t available.
This effort by the plant, instead of just
growing normally, adds to the problem of yield
drag.
DRAG-SLAYER helps to tie up those antagonistic ions allowing micronutrients to be available to the plant while allowing the Glyphosate to work effectively resulting in :
Reduction of the amount of glyphosate needed by keeping the molecule more available, i.e. free from the ions in the water;
Improve
the efficiency of the glyphosate by keeping it
freed up;
Keeps
micronutrients available to the crop for
improved crop health;
Counteracts
yield drag by avoiding the temporary
“shut down” the plant experiences right after
herbicide applications by allowing the plant to
feed normally;
Provide
a stimulus and environment for beneficial
microbes to out-compete and kill those pathogens
thereby improving the overall soil health and
environment;
Prevent and reduce problems with sudden death syndrome in beans from the residual effects of glyphosate, namely the pathogen problems.
