Yield Enhancement
Homestretch® NKB-S Evo
- Foliar nutrition plus two biostimulant metabolites
- Supports flowering, pollination, pod set, kernel retention and grain fill
- Helps plants maintain performance during heat, drought and rapid growth
- Improves nitrogen use efficiency and sulfur and potassium utilization
- Bio-ready surfactant system pairs well with biological microbes
Homestretch® NKB-S Evo is a foliar formulation that combines plant nutrition with two biostimulant metabolites to mitigate abiotic stresses, increase energy production and utilization, improve nitrogen use efficiency, and drive sulfur and potassium utilization. Homestretch NKB-S Evo helps optimize the plant’s genetic potential during critical growth stages.
The bio-ready N-solution surfactant system in Homestretch NKB-S Evo makes it a great partner for biological microbes.
Agronomic Benefits
Boron: essential to new growth, pollination and reproduction. Stabilizes cell walls, which provides plant structure and integrity. Also aids in nitrogen assimilation and root nodulation formation, which enhances nitrogen uptake and utilization.
Molybdenum: increases plant health and yields by enhancing nitrogen metabolism and photosynthetic activity.
Potassium: assists with drought tolerance, nodulation, lodging resistance and defense against insects and diseases. Critical to high yields.
Sulfur: important for chlorophyll formation, nodulation, enzyme activation and S-containing amino acids. Also aids in protein and enzyme synthesis.
Dextrose: supports photosynthesis in leaves as a quick source of energy. Enhances plant efficiency when absorbing essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, leading to healthier and more productive crops.
Fulvic Fraction: helps stop nutrient deficiencies faster because it is readily accepted through the leaves, and it acts as a natural chelator that facilitates the mobilization and transport of micronutrients through cell membranes.
