2 The very best that you can give your seeds

3 Panoramix A new seed dressing by Koppert Biological Systems The very best that you can give to your seeds. Panoramix is a new seed dressing by Koppert Biological Systems. The biostimulant Panoramix comprises a number of plant growth promoting microorganisms with versatile properties, and their combination makes Panoramix unique. Beneficial microorganisms protect the seeds, promote emergence, stimulate growth of the root system, and strengthen the shoots. Koppert has developed Panoramix especially for large, arable crops cultivated in rows; such as wheat, maize, soya, and rice. Application of Panoramix results in higher yield under various climatic and geographical conditions. In addition, the nutritional value of treated crops also increases even with reduced fertilization.

4 A stronger crop, greater yields, increased nutritional value Panoramix promotes the crop s growth and makes the plant less vulnerable to pathogens found in the soil and on the seed. A treatment with Panoramix gives rise to a stronger and healthier crop, which is more resistant to drought and disease and - most importantly - much more productive. Evident higher yield was accompanied by increased nutritional value, even where fertilizer use was reduced. Thanks to the extra kilograms harvested, the product soon pays for itself. Seeds treated with Panoramix also emerge more uniformly, resulting in reduced additional sowing costs. Panoramix also helps you to make your production more sustainable. As the crop is less susceptible to diseases, less chemical crop protection is needed. Panoramix fits in very well with environmentally-friendly cultivation; the product is 100% natural and safe for people and the environment. My crop is much more productive with Panoramix

6 Panoramix s unique properties Panoramix improves crop vigour and makes the crop less susceptible to diseases. Panoramix boosts the plant s resistance to drought and other types of abiotic stress. Panoramix acts as a biostimulant: a treated crop becomes stronger and grows better. This results in greater yields. Panoramix contributes to greater nutritional value in crops. Panoramix reduces the need for fertilizers. Panoramix is 100% natural and entirely safe for both people and the environment.

7 How does Panoramix work? Panoramix contains a number of plant growth promoting microorganisms, all of which have beneficial effects on the seeds and seedlings. Panoramix stimulates development of the plant root system and improves nutrient uptake. This also increases crop resilience particularly under stressful conditions. Trichoderma sp. Other ingredients Trichoderma sp. is a fungus that colonizes the plant root system and prevents harmful fungi from emerging in rhizosphere. Thanks to Trichoderma, the plant is better able to absorb elements such as nitrogen, manganese, phosphorous, and iron, resulting in plant growth stimulation. Bacillus sp. These bacteria promote crop growth and prevent infections. Bacilli create a bio-film around the roots, supporting the plant in situations of abiotic stress and particularly drought. They also stimulate the development of the root system by promoting more side roots and longer root hairs. As a result, the plant is better able to absorb nutrients and water, and the crop s growth is improved. In addition, some of them solubilize phosphate and make it available to plants, reducing the amount of phosphate that needs to be applied. Panoramix also contains vitamins C and E, fulvic acid, extracts of algae, and vegetable oil. Easy to use Koppert Biological Systems supplies Panoramix as a liquid concentrate. Stored at a temperature between 4 and 8 C in a dark place, Panoramix can be kept for up to six months. Panoramix s excellent covering properties make it easy to use. Simply mix the required quantity of Panoramix with the seeds and the seeds can be sown. Entirely natural, entirely safe Panoramix is entirely safe for both people and the environment. Endomycorrhiza This soil-borne fungus also ensures that the crop is better able to absorb water and nutrients due to the extension of the root system. It also boosts the plant s resistance to abiotic stress, including drought.
