Yield Enhancement
Upshift® C Pro
- Concentrated starter powered by Ether™ Enzyme Technology to boost nutrient availability
- Supports early-season plant establishment and abiotic stress tolerance
- Chelated zinc improves the P:Zn ratio
- Low salt index for starter, in-furrow or sidedress use
Upshift® C Pro is a concentrated starter system powered by Ether™ Enzyme Technology that boosts nutrient availability while supporting early-season plant establishment and assisting with abiotic stress tolerance. The inclusion of active, chelated zinc improves the P:Zn ratio for better enzyme metabolic reaction in all crops.
Ether’s mannanase enzyme releases sugars from polysaccharide chains, while the phosphatase enzyme releases phosphorus from organic phosphate sources in the soil. Glucose oxidase may aid in the breakdown of soil organic matter.
Upshift C Pro is designed for dissolving in water and applying through fertilizing equipment into actively growing root zones, or injecting near the seed during planting. It has a low salt index, so it is ideal for use as a starter or sidedress fertilizer applied directly to the soil or in-furrow.
Agronomic Benefits
Glucose Oxidase Enzymes: drive natural soil chemistry and biological activity, which enhances nutrient availability, boosts root development, supports mineral chelation and naturally lowers the pH in the root zone.
Mannanase Enzymes: break down starches that surround the outermost layer of the root tip. This increases the flow of water and nutrients to the root zone and sugars in the plant, which in turn boosts root growth and increases microbial activity.
Phosphatase Enzymes: release phosphate from organic phosphate sources in the soil, which increases nutrient availability and uptake.

Recommended Use Rates
| Use | Rate |
|---|---|
| Starter or Sidedress Fertilizer | Minimum of 2.5 lb/acre at planting, dissolved in adequate water. For best use, mix 0.5 lb concentrate per gal of water; do not exceed 2 lb per gal. Repeat as needed. |
| Replacement for 10-34-0 Starter | Replace every 1 gal of 10-34-0 with 0.5 lb of Upshift C Pro dissolved into 1 gal of water |
| Foliar Application | 1 to 4 lb/acre |
| pH Buffer | 0.5 lb per 100 gal of water for fungicides and herbicides (results may vary based on water source pH) |
Directions for Use
Upshift C Pro is recommended for multiple crops. See label for more details.
A maximum of 2 lb of Upshift C Pro can be dissolved per gallon. However, longer mix times are required, and this is only recommended for users that have heated water and strong agitation. May be run through irrigation systems.
