18 For Soybeans CHS Inoculants for Soybeans Bradyrhizobium only Uninoculated Impact of Delftia Acidovorans on Root and Plant Growth Dual Action Soybean/Growth Promoter CHS Inoculants for Soybeans has been re-formulated to provide a higher concentration of the patented plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) - Delftia acidovorans and Bradyrhizobium elkanii. The formulation contains double the concentration of Bradyrhizobium elkanii (>10 10 CFU/ml) and Delftia acidovorans (2x10 7 per ml) and also boasts an extended on-seed life of 90 days. This formulation enhancement is the first product improvement under Lallemand Plant Care ownership. Look for new products and product innovations in the near future. Two Active Ingredients: Delftia acidovorans, Bradyrhizobium elkanii Easy to use Formulation: one package to open (no mixing) lower use rate ( 1.5 floz/cwt) limited tackiness/bridging On-Seed Life: 90 days Corn treated with CHS Unlocked Plant Hormone Supplement with MNP + Unlocked with MNP Planted in April in very dry conditions. Reynolds, N.D qt 9% ZN CHS Unlocked contains naturally derived Cytokinin, Auxin, and Gibberellic plant growth regulators in the right balance improving growth and development of many crops. The active ingredients in CHS Unlocked induce cell division, stimulate cell enlargement, delay senescence, overcome apical dominance and improve nutrient mobilization. The ingredients that are utilized in the CHS Unlocked formulation provide a molecular configuration that is more innately predisposed to fit into plant cellular hormone receptors due to its natural derivation. This feature provides quicker uptake and increased activity. CHS Unlocked has vastly increased bioactivity compared to other plant growth regulator products that are synthetically derived CHS Inc.
