TECHNOLOGY SUPPORTING PLANT POLLINATION Enhanced pollination - - - - - More fruit sets, pods & seeds PollenShield
PollenShield Enhances pollen development, anther dehiscence, pollen hydration, fertilization, and production of fruit, pods and seeds. Benefits of PollenSHIELD PollenShield provides nutrients, polyamines and organic acids to support and enhance plant fertility. It improves pollen hydration, germination, pollen tube growth and viability, and encourages bee foraging activity which increases fertilization. Plants produce more fruit sets and an increased number of larger and more uniform pods and seeds, ultimately resulting in greater yields. PollenShield INCREASED POLLEN TUBE GROWTH: PollenShield contains nitrogen, potassium, and a polyamine complex to support pollen tube growth and accumulation of secretory vesicles in pollen tubes. INCREASED FERTILIZATION: PollenShield helps regulate anther dehiscence and pollen hydration, and increases pollen volume and viability. INCREASED VOLUME AND SIZE OF FRUIT SETS, PODS, AND SEEDS: PollenShield increases fertilization and supports carbohydrate and nucleic acid metabolism, sugar transport, cell differentiation and maturation. This results in a higher volume of larger, more uniform, high quality fruits, pods, and seeds. INCREASED BEE VISITATIONS: The polyamines present in PollenShield help attract bees, resulting in greater fertilization and minimal abortive flowers. INCREASED NUTRIENT MOBILIZATION AND ABSORPTION: PollenShield boosts the uptake of calcium, magnesium, and potassium. INCREASED PERFORMANCE UNDER STRESS CONDITIONS: PollenShield benefits are unaffected by unfavourable conditions. It maintains the ability to simultaneously upregulate desirable pathways and downregulate undesirable pathways, allowing plants to maximize their genetic potential under cold, wet or drought conditions.
PollenShield Why to use PollenShield provides nutrients, polyamines and organic acids to enhance pollen development, anther dehiscence, pollen hydration, pollen tube growth, fertilization, and the production of fruit, pods, and seeds. When to use Fungicide Timing. Canola, soybean, peas, lentils and other pulse crops: apply once at the 5% - 30% bloom stage. Corn: apply once at the tassels stage. Flax: apply 1-2 times, once beginning at the 5% blooming stage. Repeat once more as needed. Hops: apply once at the 5-30% bloom stage. Berry: apply twice, once beginning at the 5% bloom stage and again beginning at the 50% bloom stage. Fruit and nut trees: apply once at the 10% bloom stage Repeat once more at the 50% bloom stage as needed. Tomatoes: apply once at the 5% - 20% bloom stage. Mixing instructions: 1. Always start with a clean mixing tank. 2. Add sufficient water to allow thorough coverage of fields per label directions. 3. Add agrochemicals, if desired, and mix well. Use enough water to flush the chemical handler after adding agrochemicals and before adding PollenShield to avoid a reaction between concentrated forms of the products. 4. Shake/agitate PollenShield well before adding the required amount to the mixing tank. Mix well. 5. Apply to fields as indicated for type of crop. How to use Apply as a foliar spray at the rate of 1 qt per acre with a minimum of 5 gal of water per acre for ground applications and 3 gal of water per acre for aerial applications. Spray early morning or late afternoon when the sun is lower in the sky. Do not apply when air temperatures are above 85 F. Avoid spraying on windy days. Allow a minimum of 3 weeks between applications.

PollenShield How it works PollenShield contains nitrogen in the form of amine and micronutrients which together maintain high enzymatic and hormonal activity during the reproductive phase of plant growth. Potassium is provided to regulate anther dehiscence, pollen hydration/imbibition, and pollen tube growth. This ensures successful fertilization, and promotes uniform fruit size and quality. An easy to absorb boron/amine complex penetrates easily through cell membranes where needed, fostering pollen viability, seed set, carbohydrate and nucleic acid metabolism, cell differentiation and maturity, sugar transport, uptake of calcium, magnesium, and potassium, synthesis of cytokinins, translocation of auxins, and root tip initiation. A polyamine complex aids in pollen germination, hydration, viability, pollen tube growth, accumulation of secretory vesicles in pollen tubes, and fertility. It also attracts bees, minimizes abortive flowers, and increases fruit sets and yield.
