Both factors are directly related to the optimal functioning of primary (plant growth-related) and secondary metabolism (plant health-related). LOKER contains botanical extracts (Echinacea, Tormentilla, Aloe) rich in Polysaccharides and Phenylpro- panoids. Thanks to its particular formula- tion, LOKER act as a “functional food” for plants with nutraceutical action. In fact, LOKER: • optimizes the plant’s nutritional status: Polysaccharides are readily available sources of energy and organic carbon for photosyn- thesis and primary metabolism; • helps the plant to keep its natural barriers active: Phenylpropanoids stimulate lignin, phytoalexin, and salicylic acid biosynthesis, thus al- lowing the plant to reinforce tissues and improve tolerance to possible attacks.
