This document discusses the benefits of foliar fertilizer products from Landmark for enhancing crop yields. It summarizes the key attributes of foliar feeding, including that it is not meant to replace soil fertilization but to address nutrient deficiencies. One product highlighted is Radiate, a blend of plant hormones auxin and cytokinin that can increase early season vigor, plant health, and yields for many crops like corn, soybeans and potatoes based on multiple field trials. Another product line discussed is NutriSync, which uses inositol technology to drive nutrient uptake and efficiency in dicot and monocot crops like soybeans and corn. Field trials demonstrated yield increases for these crops when using NutriSync. The document provides application

Key product benefits:
• Enhances crop’s ability to produce
more natural growth hormones
• Reduces early season stress
• Increases early season vigor
• Increases overall plant health
Radiate is a unique blend of IBA (Auxin) and Kinetin
(Cytokinin)
It is designed to provide essential plant hormones in
the correct ratios to drive maximum root growth

Cytokinins
• Synthesized in roots, developing embryos,
young leaves and fruits
• Stimulate cell division (cytokinesis)
• Promote shoot growth
• Push reproductive development
• Promote lateral bud growth
• Delay leaf senescence
• Promote nutrient mobilization
Several naturally occurring cytokinins,
including kinetin

Application Guidelines
1. Radiate performs best in acidic spray tank solutions (pH < 7.0).
2. Pair it with LI 700 whenever possible. An LI 700 concentration
of 0.125% v/v is sufficient if applying Radiate alone or only with
other nutritionals. Adjuvant rate may need to be adjusted
higher if herbicides or other crop protection components are in
the mix.
3. Radiate should be added to tank last.
4. Rainfast in 2 hours
