X-Cyte™
- Biologicals
- Biostimulant
X-Cyte™ is designed to increase plant resilience and safeguard yield by proactively protecting crops from heat blast – reducing flower/kernel abortion and pod loss caused by heat stress.
Benefits
Protects Crops from Heat Blast
X-Cyte protects yield potential by reducing flower/kernel abortion and pod loss during times of excess heat.
Improved Crop Resilience
Improves overall crop resilience by delaying premature senescence caused by heat loss.
Built with the Highest Quality Ingredients
Built with the highest quality of ingredients, resulting in a guaranteed analysis of actives for consistent performance and extensive tank-mix compatibility.
Crops
X-Cyte™ is an effective solution for the following crops*:
Canola
Corn
What is heat blast?
Heat Blast occurs when a combination of hot days (28° C or warmer for canola, 35° C or warmer for corn) and warm nights (16° C or warmer) occurs. When temperatures rise to these levels in your crop, the growth hormone Cytokinin begins to degrade within your plants, often resulting in flower or kernel abortion, also known as flower drop/tips back, and pod loss.
X-Cyte supplements the plant with additional Cytokinin, a naturally occurring hormone, that boosts cell growth – improving photosynthesis and preventing plant tissues from maturing too quickly. As a result, the plants sustain photosynthetic activity and maintain nutrient and water uptake for continued plant growth and optimized yield potential.
