New E2Pro Elicitor from Sherriff Amenity
Sherriff Amenity has announced the launch of E2 ProElicitor - a new unique soluble plant biostimulant which contains Harpin aβ.
E2 Pro from Sherriff Amenity is a brand of turfcare products which is viewed as being synonymous with quality, and the everexpanding portfolio features a range of both high performing water soluble andliquid fertilisers. There are currently five different analyses within thewater soluble range and eight in the liquid portfolio, ensuring that there is asolution to suit a wide range of nutrient requirements throughout the year.
Elicitor is the latest product to be welcomed to the E2Pro family and by all accounts it appears that turf managers will be more thanpleased with addition.
This unique soluble biostimulant contains an elicitor that stimulatesgene expression in plants, delivering improved abiotic stress tolerance andbetter plant growth. Elicitors are known to activate a variety of biosyntheticpathways within the plant and the inclusion of Harpin aβ can significantlyenhance results. Rigorous trial work has concluded that Harpin aβ specificallystimulates plant growth (above and below ground), nutrient absorption andtolerance to abiotic stress, including drought, temperature stress andpesticide detoxification. Further benefits include increased photosynthesis andenhanced root development.
Harpins are acidic, heat-stable, glycine-rich proteins producedby Gram-negative bacteria, which trigger defence responses in diverse plantspecies. When applied as a foliar spray, the Harpin proteins bind to plantreceptors, initiating jasmonic acid and ethylene dependent signalling pathways;known as a Hypersensitive Response (HR). Harpins induce the expression of genesinvolved in cell wall development, cellular communication, and signalling anddefence responses.
Harpin aβ proteins can be applied as either a seedtreatment, or as a foliar spray. When used as a foliar spray, application every3-4 weeks during growth is recommended. As Harpin aβ activates genes within theplant, 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.
