C4
High Quality Food Grade Foliar Fertilizer/Adjuvant
C4 is an excellent chemical carrier that causes plants to quickly absorb herbicide.
This results in maximum herbicide uptake and helps make applications rainfast in minutes.
Another benefit of C4 is that it helps reduce herbicide shock to the growing crop.
The organic acids, colloidal minerals and complex carbohydrates in C4 that aid in immediate uptake of chemical into
weeds also encourage and enhance crop growth, health, and fruitation. Research has proven that plants with high levels of
carbohydrates and trace minerals are more immune to stressful situations such as drought, frost, and herbicide shock.
Many scientists also believe that plants high in carbohydrates are less susceptible to insect problems.
Research has also shown that plants with high levels of carbohydrates and trace minerals secrete them through their roots,
encouraging microbial activity. For instance legumes with high levels of carbohydrates and trace minerals encourage
rhizobium activity, greatly increasing nodulization of the roots, increasing pod fill, equaling higher yields.
Application rates of 16 ounces per acre make C4 easy to ship and handle and very cost effective too (just $8/acre).C4 can be safely combined with all types of herbicides and pesticides, and some fertilizer products. Always jar test.
High priced chemical and crop input costs
can be offset by including C4 in your farming program.
General Information
Carbon - All life on Earth is built upon carbon and carbon-based compounds.
DNA, RNA, and protein all use carbon in their "backbones" to link all the
functional groups together and there are only 3 non-mineral nutrients
that plants use: hydrogen, oxygen and carbon (water included as H2O).
Carbohydrate - Any of a group of organic compounds that includes sugars,
starches, celluloses, and gums and serves as a major energy source. These
compounds are produced by photosynthetic plants and contain only carbon,
hydrogen, and oxygen, usually in the ratio 1:2:1.
Mineral - An inorganic element, such as calcium, iron, potassium, sodium, or zinc,
that is essential to the nutrition of humans, animals, and plants.
In agricultural applications, carbon-based compounds made up of multiple glucoses, organic acids and colloidal minerals can dramatically benefit both nutrient recycling and plant growth. Easy to apply, low volume formulations that can be either foliar or soil applied and are able to blend with all types of fertilizers and herbicides are the key.
These specialized formulations can be used to:
Improve photosynthesis, resulting in higher plant brix levels and better yields.
Chelate fertilizer solutions, making them more available to the plant.
Boost soil Azotobacter nitrogen production.
Help plants overcome stress from hail or frost.
Help crops recover from herbicide shock, especially soybeans.
Feed soil microbes, which then convert nutrients in the soil into plant food.
Breakdown crop residue and help build humus, best applied during the off season.
Stimulate amino acid and protein production in the plant.
Can increase nodulization in legumes by supplying carbohydrate to plant.Opens stomata (plant leaf cells) to accept foliar fertilizer applications.
Work as a chemical carrier and wetting agent, entering plants at cellular level.
Stimulate mycorrhizal growth in plant root systems, assists in nutrient flow.
A properly applied carbon product that is “fully-loaded” can make a profitable difference!
