Vitazyme Growth Stimulant

How Vitazyme Works

As a plant grows in soil, it develops an intimate relationship between the roots and the organisms populating the root zone. The root surface — the Rhizosphere — is teeming with billions of fungi, bacteria, algae, cyanobacteria, protozoa, and other organisms. Because the roots feed the organisms with dead root epidermal cells as well as compounds exuded from the roots themselves, the microbial population of this area is more plentiful than the bulk of the soil. To feed these organisms, the plant may inject up to 25% or more of its energy, which is produced in the leaves as amino acids, carbohydrates, and other compounds.

This happens for a good reason: by feeding the organisms in the rhizosphere, the microbes in turn release soil minerals and secrete organic acids, antibiotics, enzymes, growth regulators, hormones, and other substances which are absorbed by the roots and then transported to the leaves. This symbiotic relationship is enhanced through the use of Vitazyme, which contains “metabolic triggers” which stimulate the plant to photosynthesize better. This enables the plant to fix more sunlight energy in the form of carbon compounds and to increase the transfer of proteins, carbohydrates, and other growth substances into the root zone.

The active agents in Vitazyme may enter the plant through either the leaves or roots with equal effectiveness. This enhances both root growth and root exudation. In turn, the metabolism of the rhizosphere organisms is activated, which triggers a greater synthesis of growth-benefiting compounds and a faster release of minerals for plant uptake, which further stimulates the plant microbial symbiosis.

How to Use Vitazyme

Vitazyme is designed to be used as a supplement to a complete crop management system, never by itself. It reduces costs and increases productivity by enabling your plants to utilize soil fertility and water more efficiently. Soil moisture is needed to activate Vitazyme.

• Vitazyme may be tank-mixed with pesticides and fertilizers
• Vitazyme does not need to be tilled into soil after application
• As long as the proper application rate is used, the dilution rate is not critical

HELPFUL TIP:

It is important to integrate other sustainable, sound management practices into your total program. This includes minimum tillage, soil conservation, crop rotations with legumes, and using proper varieties.

GENERAL APPLICATIONS

• Most Frequent Applications in Growing Crops – Spray on leaves and soil, 1 to 4 times (according to crops), at 3 to 12 weeks intervals,  with rates of 13 – 16 oz. per acre (1 – 1.2 liters per hectare).
• Direct Seed Row Applications – Dilute 1 part of Vitazyme in 99-199 parts of water (a 0.5 – 1% solution) and spray at 13 oz./acre (1 litre per hectare) onto seeds in a row, prior to covering.
• Seed treatment before planting – Treat the seeds with a dilute Vitazyme solution, as 250 ml or cc of Vitazyme for seeds of one hectare (3.3 oz. for seeds of one acre), plus the minimum water for good seed coverage. The seeds and solution can be mixed thoroughly, on planting or last day, in a cement or seed mixer, on a tarp, or in a seeding attachment. To avoid bridging in the planter, seeds should be dried for 20-30 min. on a tarp, before planting.  If seeds are to be stored longer, they should be well dried, to avoid fungi development and seed germination.
• Liquid Planter Attachment – Apply 13 oz/acre (1 litre/ha) after harvest and before ground freezing.
• Vegetable transplant trays –  dip the roots of the seedlings in a 0.5 – 1% Vitazyme solution briefly, until the air is released.
• Seed Cuttings – Dilute at a rate of 1 part / 19 parts of water (a 5% solution) and mist all exposed areas for faster emergence. Allow seeds to dry prior to planting.
• New tree & orchard plantations – at planting or reforestation, soak the roots of the transplants with a 0.25% solution or drench roots and soil with diluted 10 mL Vitazyme per tree.
