Quality and Yield

Stimplex® consistently enhances yield with the best marketability. Increasing yield and improving quality attributes including firmness, color and size gives you the competitive edge and increased profits.

In this pepper trial, applications of Stimplex® increased overall crop quality, indicated by a visible increase in size and color uniformity.

Resistance to Biotic and Abiotic Stresses

(Below) Stimplex® has been shown to maximize crop potential from environmental stresses, with direct impact on the growers’ bottom lines. Stimplex® helps protect and revitalize crops experiencing biotic or abiotic stresses.

Stimplex®-treated ‘Swingle’ trees had higher water use efficiency compared to the Control.

[Chart: Water Use Efficiency of Citrus Crops. Bar chart showing Control at 59.5 and Stimplex at 69.0.]

Root Growth and Plant Establishment

Stimplex® induces plants to produce their own natural growth substances that initiate the growth of full, well developed root systems. Improving plant development and early root growth is vital to your crops’ success. Growth, quality and yield all depend on a strong plant with a large, healthy root system.

WinRhizo™ root scans indicate Stimplex® watermelons produced seedlings with visibly more roots, lateral root branching, and fine root hairs.

Nutrient Levels

(Below) A watermelon trial conducted at the University of Maryland confirms the positive effect of Stimplex® on foliar nitrogen levels. Petiole nitrate levels were improved in all of the Stimplex®-treated plots regardless of soil fertility or trial location.

Stimplex®

is the leading organic biostimulant derived exclusively from Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed.

Backed by over thirty years of extensive field and greenhouse research, Stimplex® follows a tightly controlled process to guarantee the highest standards of product quality and consistency. Through our exclusive, proprietary process, we liberate the active compounds in Stimplex® in what we believe to be the most uncompromised and active state possible; this complex array of active compounds and stress resistance properties are then imparted to your crop to boost productivity.

Real Growers, Real Growth

This is why top growers count on Stimplex®; it doesn’t just grow your crop, it grows a better crop.

“Mixing Stimplex® with my existing fungicide program helps my avocado crop resist the adverse effects of several biotic and abiotic stresses. Since using Stimplex® I have noticed a stronger, more vigorous plant as well as an increased yield at harvest.” Rodolfo Duran Zamano, Avocado Grower, Mexico

“I could see a tremendous difference in tree vigor between orchards where Stimplex® was applied with a good fertility program and where it was not applied. It made a difference with the sizing of my apples as well.” Eddie Lyde, Apple Grower, USA

"Stimplex® is used on our potato crops which are made up of Estima, Desiree and King Edwards as a general plant growth promoter. We find it flexible to use within our blight protection program and the results are evident in the greening of the crop.” Richard Hammond, Potato Grower, England

“I have now used Stimplex® for the past 3 seasons and I found that the Stimplex®-treated table grapes have better vine vigor, have yielded more uniform berry sizes and better coloring of berries … Stimplex® has given the best colour ever when used on Red Globe grapes. I now use Stimplex® on my whole vineyard…” Brian Hedges, Table grape grower, Australia
