- Close the bag tightly after use
- Respect the best before date on the label
Application Rate-Granular
AGTIV® REACH™ G should be placed in the seed row. Apply at a rate of 5 lb/acre (5.7 kg/ha). One 18.2 kg (40 lb) bag covers 8 acres(3.2 ha) or one 364 kg (800 lb) bag covers 160 acres (64 ha).
AGTIV® Field Crops Granular is compatible with legume inoculants.
- We recommend calibrating the seeder before applying AGTIV® REACH™ G.
- Avoid using AGTIV® REACH™ G with wet equipment.
- Allow the equipment to dry or let run a few minutes before adding product.
- Remove any unused granules from the tank or the seed cart at the end of the day.
- Do not mix AGTIV® Field Crops Granular with granular pesticides or fertilizers.
Powder
AGTIV® REACH™ P is an endomycorrhizal inoculant in powder form ideal for mixing with cereals, flax and forage seeds at planting time.
Active Ingredients-Powder
- Endomycorrhizal inoculum: Glomus intraradices -6400 viable spores/g; 1,452,800 viable spores/lb
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 Rate- Powder
Dry Beans, Cereals and Flax
Mix AGTIV® REACH™ P evenly with seeds when filling seeder using grain auger or directly in the hopper or other container. The application rate is 3/4 cup/acre (450 ml of product/ha). One 2 kg pail of AGTIV® REACH™ P covers up to 40 acres (16 ha).
It is possible to use a dry seed treater to deliver the powder (see below for details).
AGTIV® Field Crops Powder is compatible with legume inoculants.
- AGTIV® REACH™ P may “bulk up” seeds. It is important to calibrate the seeder to ensure correct seeding rate is attained.
- When planting, avoid using AGTIV® REACH™ P 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 the 8 hours following coating with AGTIV® REACH™ P. Ensure proper seed-soil contact to minimize any desiccation of the mycorrhizal inoculant.
- Do not mix AGTIV® REACH™ P and fungicide seed treatments in the same tank. Apply to seed once treatment is dry.
- Do not mix AGTIV® REACH™ P with granular or liquid fertilizers.
Dry seed treaters
A dry seed treater can be used to easily deliver AGTIV® REACH™ P onto seeds. It is recommended to perform a calibration test with the device to adjust the flow rate to the drill box filling rate.
Alfalfa, Mix Forages and Grass
Mix AGTIV® REACH™ P evenly with seeds at a rate of 1 1/2 cup/acre (900 ml of product /hectare). One 2 kg pail of AGTIV® REACH™ P covers up to 20 acres (8 ha).

- Do not mix AGTIV® REACH™ P with granular or liquid fertilizers
Liquid
AGTIV® REACH™ L is an endomycorrhizal inoculant that has been specially developed for field crops such as soybean, dry beans, cereals and flax. The product is adapted to the equipment used and allows for a uniform distribution when it is applied in furrow.
Active Ingredients-Liquid
- Endomycorrhizal inoculum: Glomus intraradices 6,400 viable spores/g
Storage and Handling
- Store in a cool place (2-8°C, 36-46°F)
- Do not freeze product
- Respect the best before date on the label
Application Rate- Liquid
In-Furrow Application - Tank mix
In the liquid tank, pour the contents of a 950 ml bottle in the volume of water required to treat 20 acres (8 hectares). Refer to the chart. Apply directly in furrow.
- Ensure the tank and the liquid injection system are clean and free of chemical residues.
- Use filters with openings smaller of at least 0.28 mm (50 mesh) to avoid clogging.
- Ensure the temperature of the diluted tank mix doesn’t exceed 22°C (72°F).
- Shake well before use and during the application.
- Apply product within six hours following mix into the tank.
Volume of water to add in the liquid tank according to the flow rate needed and 7 Rules for Success
In-Furrow Application - AGTIV Liquid Injection Kit
Dilute the product in the required volume of clean, non-chlorinated water. For each 950 ml bottle of mycorrhizal inoculant, add 2 bottles of water. Apply directly on seed pieces into furrow.
- Ensure the tank and the liquid injection system are clean and free of chemical residues.
- On the planter, remove all cylinder screens by the nozzles or use filters with openings of at least 50 mesh (0.28 mm).
- Spray band width should be limited to 7 in (18 cm) or less.
- If the mixture does not contain pesticides or fertilizers, it can be emptied, refrigerated and used within 24 hours.
- Product must be refrigerated (2-8°C, 36-46°F). Do not freeze product.
- Shake the bottle well before use and maintain a constant agitation in the tank during application.

Mycorrhizae symbiosis establishment:
Benefits
- 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
- Increases yield
- Increases crop quality
- Increases tolerance to drought
- Optimizes fertilizer use
