New E2
Pro Elicitor from Sherriff Amenity
Sherriff Amenity has announced the launch of E2 Pro
Elicitor - a new unique soluble plant biostimulant which contains Harpin aβ.
E2 Pro from Sherriff Amenity is a brand of turf
care products which is viewed as being synonymous with quality, and the ever
expanding portfolio features a range of both high performing water soluble and
liquid fertilisers. There are currently five different analyses within the
water soluble range and eight in the liquid portfolio, ensuring that there is a
solution to suit a wide range of nutrient requirements throughout the year.
Elicitor is the latest product to be welcomed to the E2
Pro family and by all accounts it appears that turf managers will be more than
pleased with addition.
This unique soluble biostimulant contains an elicitor that stimulates
gene expression in plants, delivering improved abiotic stress tolerance and
better plant growth. Elicitors are known to activate a variety of biosynthetic
pathways within the plant and the inclusion of Harpin aβ can significantly
enhance results. Rigorous trial work has concluded that Harpin aβ specifically
stimulates plant growth (above and below ground), nutrient absorption and
tolerance to abiotic stress, including drought, temperature stress and
pesticide detoxification. Further benefits include increased photosynthesis and
enhanced root development.
Harpins are acidic, heat-stable, glycine-rich proteins produced
by Gram-negative bacteria, which trigger defence responses in diverse plant
species. When applied as a foliar spray, the Harpin proteins bind to plant
receptors, initiating jasmonic acid and ethylene dependent signalling pathways;
known as a Hypersensitive Response (HR). Harpins induce the expression of genes
involved in cell wall development, cellular communication, and signalling and
defence responses.
Harpin aβ proteins can be applied as either a seed
treatment, or as a foliar spray. When used as a foliar spray, application every
3-4 weeks during growth is recommended. As Harpin aβ activates genes within the
plant, there is no requirement for full coverage at the time of application.
Once the genes are activated, the plant response is initiated within 24 hours.
