AGTIV® REACH™ P

AGTIV® REACH™ P is an endomycorrhizal inoculant in powder form ideal for mixing with alfalfa, mix forage and grass seeds at planting time.

* The following plant families cannot be colonized by the fungus contained in AGTIV™.

• Brassicaceae (canola, mustard)
• Chenopodiaceae (spinach, beets)
• Polygonaceae (buckwheat)

Active Ingredients

• Endomycorrhizal inoculum : Glomus intraradices- 8 000 viable spores/g

Storage and Handling

• Store in a cool, dry place.
• Do not freeze or expose to temperatures above 35°C (95°F).
• Avoid severe temperature variation.
• Close tightly after use.
• Respect the best before date on the label.
• Avoid prolonged inhalation of dust. Use of a dust mask when handling is recommended.

Application

Mix AGTIV^® REACH™ evenly with seeds at a rate of 725 ml of product/hectare (1 ¼ cup/acre). One 1.6 kg pail of product covers up to 8 ha (20 acres). It is possible to use a dry seed treater to deliver the powder (see below for details).

The product is compatible with legume inoculants.

• AGTIV^® REACH™ may "bulk up" seeds. It is important to calibrate the seeder to ensure correct seeding rate is attained.
• When planting, avoid using AGTIV^® REACH™ with wet equipment. Allow the equipment to dry and make sure that all the mechanisms and the piping of the seeder are dry. It is also possible to use a neutral absorbent to absorb excess water.
• For optimum results, it is recommended to seed within 8 hours following coating with AGTIV^® REACH™. Ensure proper seed-soil contact to minimize any desiccation of the mycorrhizal inoculant.
• Do not mix with granular or liquid fertilizers.
• Do not mix AGTIV^® REACH™ and fungicide seed treatments in the same tank. Apply to seed once treatment is dry.

Dry seed treaters
A dry seed treater can be used to easily deliver AGTIV^® REACH™ onto seeds. It is recommended to perform a calibration test with the device to adjust the flow rate to the drill box filling rate.

Benefits

• Rhizobium fixes Nitrogen in the nodules
• Increases root growth
• Mycorrhizal fungi produce hyphae that penetrate root cells to produce exchange structures
• Mycorrhizal fungi produce hyphae that extend into the soil and increase absorptive capacity for water and mineral nutrients (P, Cu, Zn)
• Mycorrhizal fungi improve the plant’s absorption capabilities by transferring directly to root via mycorrhizal network
• Active rhizosphere: 5cm
• Increases yield
• Increases crop quality
• Increases tolerance to drought
• Optimizes fertilizer use
