Increased Tuber Calcium = Increased Specific Gravity = Less Storage Problems = Higher Profit! Sysstem-Ready provides more value to potato growers in one jug than any other competing foliar zinc/manganese micronutrient on the market. No other foliar micronutrient on the market gives growers a better way to supply the right nutrients at the right time, in the right form and in the right mix to impact tuber quality, marketable yield and overall vine health. • Fastest Penetration and Uptake - the low pH zinc and manganese phosphite solution is rapidly absorbed by even the thickest and toughest leaf surfaces making it the best choice to systemically deliver nutrients faster and more completely than other foliar formulations. Low pH formulations have significant advantages over neutral pH phosphite products – aiding in the uptake of other larger crop protection molecules that are often more difficult to get into the plant. In addition, low pH solutions improve compatibility and stability of most tank mixes without the extra expense of an acidifying agent/buffer - Also, when the leaf surface is dry the zinc and manganese are in the plant! • Systemic Nutrition – nutrient based phosphites are highly systemic - both phloem and xylem mobile enhancing the efficiency and mobility of applied nutrients (Zn, Mn, Mg, etc.). Sysstem Ready is a true phosphite-based micronutrient, without potassium, helping move zinc and manganese throughout the plant from the roots to the tubers to the growing vine tips to improve tuber growth and plant health. Most competing phosphite products are potassium phosphite or potassium phosphite based with chelated micronutrients blended in. Growers need to be mindful that "foliar" potassium applied during tuber cell division antagonizes calcium incorporation into the tuber and greatly increases the potential for calcium deficiency related quality issues in the tuber. Sysstem- Ready, because it is not potassium based, does not antagonize tuber calcium uptake during cell division and actually stimulates maximum calcium uptake into the tuber (see chart). • Root Flush Technology ™ - Sysstem-Ready works to increase root mass and foraging capacity by enhancing the natural root exudate process that plants use to free-up and extract soil-bound nutrients. Increasing the natural "root flushing" activity allows the plant to extract more nutrients and moisture from the soil while also increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of soil applied fertility programs. Applications of Sysstem-Ready at tuber initiation enhance the root flushing effect helping increase calcium uptake by the stolon and tuber root hairs. Tuber initiation is the start of cell division in the tuber, the key timing for getting calcium into the tuber, increasing specific gravity and producing quality potatoes. No other foliar micronutrient delivers more value in one jug! Can your early nutrient spray do all this? Sysstem-Ready ®
