Maxicrop ensures salad crops are less prone
to stress and quicker to recover from checks
in growth.

Cells put under environmental or other stress, usually contain excessive quantities of active oxygen molecules.

These are damaging to the cell, leading to degradative processes and the cell responds by producing compounds that 'de-activate' this active oxygen.

Specific enzymes are needed to start this process rolling and, according to
Prof Geoff Dixon, various cell growth regulators found naturally in Maxicrop
bio-stimulants can switch on the molecular response to minimise this stress.

Thus, plant’s regularly treated with Maxicrop are in a high state of readiness
to resist stresses.
