Aiva Augment Biostimulant 10lt

About

Augment is a unique formulation for substrate grown crops. As modern horticulture evolves, the use of peat-based substrates to peat-free alternatives has changed the way growers manage their crops and inputs. Augment is not only designed to promote plant physiological responses but to also interact and influence the environment in which the plant grows. Designed to be easily applied via fertigation directly to the substrate fertigation nutrient inputs, or as stand-alone treatments.

Augment’s mixture of stabilised carbon in the form of humic and fulvic acids, in combination with amino acids, seaweed complex, and simple and complex sugars, forms a complete fertigation additive package. These compounds work to feed beneficial symbiotic rootzone biology, creating a thriving environment of nutrient releasing microbiology. Humic compounds create a peat mimic that encourages roots to explore substrates more extensively, increasing cation exchange capabilities, binding substrate particles and aiding water holding. Fulvic compounds chelate applied nutrients making them more available and easily taken up by the plant's roots, increasing nutrient use efficiencies. Additionally amino acids stimulate plant root and top growth allowing them to fully utilise the range of nutrients now being taken up.

Augment is high in Glutamic Acid (or Glutamate) which is one of the fundamental metabolites in the process of formation of vegetative tissue, protein synthesis, and chlorophyll synthesis. It is a building block of glutamine, arginine, proline and several metabolic enzymes essential to plants. These processes increase chlorophyll concentration in the plant leading to a higher degree of photosynthesis. The combination of this and the biological rhizosphere stimulation and nutrient chelation effects of the high concentration of total humate acids leads to a total fertigation stock tank co-formulant designed to increase nutrient use efficiencies. Reducing the need for applied nutrients and the potential for salt accumulation in pots or bags. Ultimately resulting in a healthier more dynamic plant, better able to withstand pathogen attack and respond more effectively to nutrient, bio-stimulant and plant protection inputs.
