Take Off® PGA - Give seeds a strong start

Take Off® PGA contains two robust biostimulants which promote the growth of strong young plants and has been the subject of a recent academic review, this has shown the improved effects over untreated seeds of cereals, maize and pulses.

• Improved photosynthesis activity
• Increased root mass
• Improved nutrient use efficiency
• Ability overcome stress factors – waterlogging and drought

Why Use Take Off® PGA Seed Treatment

Take Off® PGA stimulates the rapid development of the seedling from the first moments of life before the fertilizer and foliar applied chemicals can have an effect. Giving faster developing and stronger healthier plants.

How Take Off® PGA Seed Treatments Works

Take Off® PGA Seed Treatment further optimizes and accelerates carbon dioxide fixation in the plant, which boosts and increases the rate of nitrogen uptake by the seedling, creating a stronger root and shoot establishment.

What is the result of using PGA Seed Treatment

This increased carbon dioxide conversion leads to higher Nitrogen utilisation, increasing efficiency and growth, and reduces the risk of environmental effects from drought, waterlogging and adverse pH.

Why Use Take Off® PGA Seed Treatment

PGA occurs naturally within all plants and aids the carbon cycle to capture carbon dioxide.

Using Take Off® PGA as a seed treatment speeds up carbon dioxide fixation in the plant which boosts and increases the availability of this ‘foundation stone’. This increased carbon dioxide conversion leads to higher nitrogen utilization, increasing efficiency and growth.

The use of Take Off® PGA results in more resilient plants earlier than would otherwise be the case and can be further enhanced by the use of Nutriphite PGA, in the following nutrition and crop protection programme.

Seed Treatment Innovation

Over 200 trials coupled with significant grower experience over the last ten years has demonstrated faster and better establishment in winter wheat, winter barley, spring barley, oats, maize and rye.

Yield Potential

If a crop cannot compensate well under adverse conditions e.g. winter barley, or suffers a dormant period of growth that will result in a yield drop e.g. Spring crops, then Take Off® PGA will assist in retaining the crop’s yield potential.

Application Instructions

Equipment

Take Off® PGA can be applied through all types of conventional seed treatment equipment. Before application ensure equipment is clean, correctly calibrated and is good serviceable condition.

Application Rates

1 litre of product per tonne of seed

Water Volume

Application rate is 1 litre of product per tonne applied with minimum 2 litres of liquid. The 2 litres of liquid solution then applied per tonne of seed. If the 2 litre liquid solution is a tank mix of other seed treatments then the 1 litre of product should be added in last to the mix and applied immediately to the seed.

Compatibility

Take Off® PGA is compatible with most agrochemical and plant nutrition seed treatments. When using in mixture with other product(s) ensure the concentrates do not come into contact during mixing. Add Take Off® PGA as the final product.
