Biostimulant Range Overview
FERTIACTYL FERTILEADER
Timac Agro have two specific ranges of products
Establishment Vegetative growth Finishing
FERTILEADER®
For application during the main vegetative growth stages of the cropFERTILEADER biostimulants contain specific seaweed extracts and are formulated and patented as the SEACTIV complex N°EP98400150.3. FERTILEADER products also provide a range of mineral nutrients to promote the overall nutritional balance within the growing crop.
FERTIACTYL®
For application in early stage of crop establishmentFERTIACTYL biostimulant is an exclusively patented product containing FERTIACTYL complex, N° 945000107 which is based on seaweed extracts and organic acids that promote root development and crop establishment.
Benefits of applying FERTICATYL® and FERTILEADER® as part of a Crop Husbandry Programme:• Increases root establishment and development• Higher water and nutrient uptake, transport and movement within the crop• Enhances photosynthesis capacity giving more energy to grow• Increases resistance to stresses and reduces the negative impacts of weather or chemical sprays• Enhances the overall nutrient programme for the crop

FERTIACTYL®
Primarily used at the emergence of many combinable and forage crops. Particularly suitable for: Potatoes, maize, transplanted vegetables, oilseed rape, and cereals• Encourages good early crop establishment and root development of
sown crops• More intense, longer photosynthesis which allows better nutrient
efficiency• Increased resistance and nutrient uptake in periods of plant stress• Helps to overcome environmental stresses• Increased rooting, actively promotes uptake and transport of minerals
by increasing root mass• Protects nutrients from loss in blocking or leaching soils and releases
nutrients from the soil
Liquid Root Biostimulantcontrol Fertiactyl
FERTILEADER® RangeFertileader products contain a seaweed-based compound with added mineral elements which:• Increases plant resilience to stress caused by weather and pesticide applications• Gives more effective uptake of nutrients• Increases photosynthesis and overall plant growth to encourage yield and quality• Supplies a range of trace elements
FERTILEADER® VitalNPK solution with micro-nutrients• A general purpose foliar
biostimulant formulated for use in many crops including potatoes, cereals, root veg, leafy veg and maize.
FERTILEADER® MagnumNitrogen and Magnesium solution• A foliar biostimulant for use in grasslands, turf, amenity
grass, potatoes and viticulture.
FERTILEADER® GoldFluid mixture of boron and molybdenum micro-nutrients• A general purpose foliar biostimulant formulated for use
in many crops including oilseed rape, beets, brassicas, potatoes and cereals.
FERTILEADER® MagicalCalcium chloride solution• A foliar biostimulant formulation for crops requiring some
supplementary magnesium and calcium, in particular cereals, potatoes, carrots/parsnips, leafy veg, maize and apples.
FERTILEADER® KaleoNPK solution with micro-nutrients• A general purpose foliar
biostimulant for use in potatoes, salads and horticultural cropping.

FERTILEADER RANGE BENEFITS• Use FERTILEADER Biostimulants on apple trees to help overcome stress related ‘stoppages’ to
any stage of growth and development.• FERTILEADER also aids plant activity increasing sugar production and general plant energy
for growth and development.• Senescence of leaves is also delayed allowing for greater capacity for fruit filling impacting
on final apple size and yield.• Mineral uptake and transport in the plant is increased.• Product choices are Fertileader Vital and Magical.
NB. They should not be used in place of foliar feed mineral sprays, but can be used together with them.
