Bionutrient Fertilizer Supplementss: Biotechnology In A Jug
Valagro is a worldwide leader in developing plant extract-based fertilizer supplements to reinforce the benefits of existing fertilization and crop protection applications. Valagro specialty fertilizer supplements provide plants with nutritional support to help maintain overall plant vigor as well as normal growth under disease-induced toxic stress.
Certain plant species around the world have evolved to be able to thrive in high stress environments (i.e. cold/dark water; cold/low oxygen altitudes; hot/dry deserts), with specific enhanced physiological capabilities (root development, flowering, carbon fixation, disease resistance, cold/heat/drought/salt tolerance and etc) or other desirable characteristics.
By extracting the natural nutritional ingredients that have given plants these characteristics, Valagro has been able to nutritionally support expression of these traits in cultivated crops resulting in improved potential harvest quantity and quality … a sort of natural “biotechnology in a jug” approach!
Biotechnology inserts specific genes into plants to exhibit specific characteristics. Valagro plant-based fertilizer supplements can be applied to both non and bio-engineered GMO plants to nutritionally support the expression of these inherent genetic traits. Valagro products are backed by thorough field research and successful worldwide commercial use.

Taking From Plants To Give Back To Plants
Valagro bases its bionutrient fertilizer supplements on natural nutritional compounds in the form of protein hydrolysate and other raw plant ingredients derived from various plant extracts including alfalfa, corn, humic acid, Quillaja, seaweed and Yucca.
Valagro utilizes GEAPOWER technology, an advanced development process bringing together 70 years of accumulated technical expertise on raw plant ingredient extraction, optimization and combination. Valagro uses various patented enzyme hydrolysis processes to extract the active nutritional ingredient components for their bionutrient fertilizer supplements.
Compared with traditional chemical manufacturing processes, this patented process preserves all inherent natural active ingredients and associated supporting co-factors thereby ensuring a higher level of nutritional ingredient availability, purity and activity. This also results in greater plant uptake and compatibility.
The advantage of this natural, plant-derived approach to crop nutrition is that there are no potential detrimental effects under variable environmental conditions compared to synthetic, chemically or animal derived products. Traditional synthetic hormones or chemicals, for example, affect the plant in one specific direction which can cause dysfunctional activity of other plant processes and, consequently, produce inconsistent results.
The GEAPOWER process also involves lab analysis to detect levels of gene markers associated with plant genome-mapped physiological activity. This represents an objective, scientific basis to quantify nutrient ingredient activity on various aspects of plant growth. This allows Valagro to not only more accurately define product activity and, consequently, develop more effective use patterns but also build more effective products. Valagro is a world class leader in this field.

Bio-Nutrient Fertilizer Supplements For Agricultural Production
- Facilitate root depth, caliper, ability and efficiency to absorb available moisture and nutrients as a soil-applied treatment at planting: Actiwave® (ability to maintain or increase yields with reduced fertilizer or water)
- Support cell division for fruit/grain/tuber sizing and quality as a foliar treatment during the reproductive stage of plant growth: Benefit PZ®
- Help plants maintain normal growth under conditions of toxic stress as a result of disease: Kendal® (multiple levels of nutritional support to accompany effective fungicide programs)
- Allow plants to use their energy more efficiently thereby maintaining balanced, vigorous growth as a foliar treatment: Megafol® (particularly beneficial as a nutritional supplement against stress from drought, flooding, frost, hail, pesticide or other injury; ideal glyphosate tank mix partner)
- Support overall plant growth throughout the plant life cycle with high quality seaweed extracts designed for each stage of growth: MC Start® (soil application at planting), MC Extra® (foliar during vegetative/early reproductive growth), MC Set® (foliar during early to mid-stage reproductive growth), MC Quality® (late season foliar harvest quality support)
- Support early plant vigor and uniform growth as a seed treatment or transplant dip/drench: Radifarm®
- Reduce effects of soil salinity, improve soil structure and support root growth as a soil applied treament: Retrosal®
- Support harvest quality characteristics (i.e. soluble solids/brix, color, ripening uniformity, earliness): Sweet®
- Allow plants to use their energy more efficiently thereby maintaining balanced, vigorous growth as a soil-applied treatment:: Viva® (particularly beneficial as a nutritional supplement against stress; ideal starter fertilizer or fertigation tank mix partner)

Bionutrient Fertilizer Supplements For Turf & Ornamentals
- Help plants maintain normal growth under conditions of toxic stress as a result of disease:: DFence® (multiple levels of nutritional support to accompany effective fungicide programs)
- Support turf density and color: IronWave® (unique dual chelation with DTPA for soil and LPCA for foliar absorption)
- Treat and prevent micronutrient deficiencies: MixWave® (unique LPCA chelation designed for foliar use with rapid uptake and low phyto potential)
- Support overall turf vigor as well as prevention and recovery from/help repair damage: Revitalize®
- Facilitate root depth, caliper, ability and efficiency to absorb available moisture and nutrients: T-Wave® (ability to use in a reduced fertilizer or water environment)

Advanced Bio-Available Micronutrients
Valagro is one of a handful of companies worldwide that is a basic producer of chelating agents including EDTA, EDDHA as well as the unique and proprietary chelating agent LPCA.
Valagro chemically reacts these chelating agents with metals for stronger, more stable and completely bound elements that have significant performance advantages over liquid micronutrient blends and complexes.
In blended micronutrient formulations, the chelating or complexing agent is only physically mixed with metals resulting in incomplete, weak bonds between the chelating and/or complexing agent and the metal and, therefore, reduced plant availability and uptake.
Both the Axilo® line (100% EDTA-chelated) and Brexil® line (100% LPCA-chelated, organically compliant) of water-soluble micro-granule micronutrients are characterized by improved plant availability, handling convenience, shelf-life stability, high solubility and tank-mix/low spray volume compatibility compared to other products on the market.
Valagro’s high quality EDDHA-chelated water-soluble iron (Ferrilene®, including new advanced 9.5% orto-orto formulation) has also become a world-wide standard for addressing iron chlorosis problems.

“Cloned” Homogenous Water Soluble & 90SGN Fertilizers
Consistent with Valagro’s commitment to quality, the line of water soluble microgranule (Master®) and granular NPK turf fertilizers (Actiwin®, Trainer®) are characterized by extremely pure formulations free from chlorine and sodium, homogenous analysis (based on unique “cloning” formulation technology) and enrichment with EDTA-chelated trace elements.
Each formulation is designed to provide nutritional support for specific plant physiological processes (i.e. root development, vegetative growth, flowering, fruit set, ripening, etc). Because of the highly soluble cloned microgranule, Master® products are ideal for soil (fertigation) or foliar applications without residual scale or other deposits.
The Master® line is designed for agricultural use while Actiwin® (Green Grade 90 SGN homogenous formulation with unique organic 16-week uniform-release technology) and Trainer® (4-week release with an organic anti-stress bionutrient added) are designed for turf applications.
