Enhance


Overview
ENHANCE (formerly Renew Plus) is a soil management tool formulated to stimulate soil micro organisms and to enhance yields. Enhance was originally formulated for leguminous crops and has been used successfully on soybeans, dry peas, lentils, pintos, pinks and other specialty varieties.

The ingredients in ENHANCE have been found to stimulate microbial processes and plant growth in numerous studies. These are discussed extensively in scientific literature.

Notice the root stimulation as pictured in the soybean plant (Control on left/ENHANCE on right). Greater microbial activity in the root zone (where this product is first applied), enhances root growth and promotes better fertilizer efficiency and nutrient absorption.

In three seasons of replicated studies at university research stations and private research facilities, seven research projects on soybeans have averaged a 10.6% yield increase. Recent field trials on garden beans, dry (edible) beans, and lentils have produced even higher yield increases.

Do your own test: Three to four weeks following an in-furrow application of Enhance dig five to ten plants from treated and untreated fields of equal productivity planted the same day. Insure the soil ball is large enough to contain all of the roots. After gently washing the soil from the sampled plants, measure the root mass and weigh the root systems (or the entire plant) and compare values for treated vs. untreated plants.

General Information
ENHANCE is an AgPro™ Systems product formulated for soil application on legume crops. It is a proprietary blend of fermentation extracts, organic acids, plant extracts and surfactants. The surfactants insure efficient penetration into upper soil horizons, while the other components affect beneficial soil microbial processes and promote early seedling vigor and root growth.

The label ingredients of ENHANCE have been found to stimulate microbial processes and plant growth in numerous studies, and they may be found discussed extensively in scientific literature. There are hundreds of references on humic and kelp extracts alone.
The combination of ingredients in ENHANCE provides a more uniform and consistent soil and plant response than each applied alone. The response is due partly to the readily-available carbon and nutrients needed for microbial activity and partly to the natural biostimulant content of the formulation.

Greater microbial activity in the root zone and enhanced root growth lessens the effect of compaction and promotes better fertilizer efficiency and nutrient absorption. This may be observed in field comparisons made starting three to four weeks following an in-furrow application of Enhance. Simply dig five to ten plants from treated and untreated fields of equal productivity planted the same day. Insure the soil ball is large enough to contain all of the roots. After gently washing the soil from the sampled plants, measure the root mass and weigh the root systems (or the entire plant) and compare values for treated vs. untreated plants.

In three seasons of replicated studies at university research stations and private research facilities, seven research projects on soybeans have averaged a 10.6% yield increase. Recent field trials on garden beans, dry (edible) beans, and lentils indicate even higher yield increases.

Best results are achieved with in-furrow plus banded application methods. The recommended in-furrow rate is 16-32 oz./A applied on the seed with an additional 16-32 oz./A applied three weeks later in a band to the base of the young plants. The higher rates should be used on heavier soils or if heavier-than-normal rainfall is expected.

*Product Approved for Use on Organic Crops
The organically modified version of ENHANCE complies with the standards of Organic Certifiers and contains only ingredients approved under the USDA National Organic Program. All ingredients that violate the regulations have been removed and/or substituted with approved ingredients to satisfy Organic Certifiers’ and USDA-NOP requirements. Please specify ‘organic’ if you wish the organic formulation. The guaranteed analysis and MSDS will be included with shipment.

Directions for Use
Shake well and mix in enough water to distribute evenly. Can be tank mixed with most liquid fertilizers and pesticides. Use in in conjunction with a good soil test and soil fertility program. Always conduct a compatibility test prior to mixing any chemicals.

Application Information
The following applications are recommended for:

  • Crops:
    • Apply in the row or band over the row at planting at the rate of one (1) quart per acre mixed in sufficient water to achieve uniform coverage

Mixing

  1. Prior to application, all spray/mixing and application equipment must be cleaned. Carefully observe all cleaning directions on product label.
  2. To prevent or minimize foaming, fill tank 3/4 full of water.
  3. Add pesticides and/or fertilizers as directed by label or in following order.
    A. Fertilizer and micronutrients
    B. Dry flowables and dispersible granules
    C. Flowables
    D. Water soluble pesticides
    E. Emulsifiable concentrates
  4. Continue agitation
  5. Add Enhance and mix with normal agitation.
  6. Continue filling tank maintaining agitation.
  7. For optimum results spray mixtures containing phLAME should be applied within 36 hours

Storage and Disposal
Store in original container only. Keep container tightly closed. Do not allow water to be introduced into contents of container. Do not contaminate water sources by runoff from cleaning of equipment, disposal of equipment wash water or spray waste. Do not store near heat or open flame. Container Disposal: Triple rinse (or equivalent) container. Offer for recycling or puncture and dispose of according to state and local authorities. If burned, stay out of smoke.

What to Do in Case of Contact

  • IF SWALLOWED:  Give a large amount of water to drink. DO NOT induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
  • IF IN EYES:  Immediately flush with clean water for 15 minutes. Consult a physician if symptoms persist.
  • IF ON SKIN:  Remove contaminated clothing and wash with soap and water. If contact is made with the spray solution containing pesticides, follow the “Statement of Practical Treatment” on the pesticide label. Consult a physician if irritation persists.

Caution
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Do not apply in such a manner as to directly or through drift expose workers or other people. If mixed with pesticides follow precautionary statements on the accompanying pesticide label.KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
SHAKE WELL BEFORE EACH USE
KEEP FROM FREEZING
