Equilibrium Extra

Equilibrium Extra

A dual purpose biostimulant that improves overall quality and marketable yield

Equilibrium® Extra combines the same readily-available amino acids as Terra-Sorb Foliar Extra, but combines them with oligosaccharide seaweed extracts as a tailored product for high-value crops such as potatoes.

Oligosaccharides are complex sugars that stimulate a plant to enhance its nutrient flow from the soil and translocation through the plant, whilst promoting rooting and shooting. This improves a plant’s ability to access nutrition, as well as its overall health.

Because seaweed extracts have a positive effect on plant physiology including reproduction physiology, this leads to an increase in uniformity, particularly useful in optimising marketable yield.

Equilibrium Extra

Eqilibrium Extra offers the following benefits:

Improved energy usage and stress tolerance
Support for establishment and plant development
Improved nutrient and water utilisation
Improved marketable yield and quality

What this means for you

For potato growers, application of Equilibrium Extra results in an increase in optimum tuber size (65-85mm), improving the overall marketability of the crop and reducing under or over-sized tubers. This is demonstrated through the following grower trial in North Norfolk in 2019*:

Yield (kg/m row length)

Equilibrium Extra grower trials on potato demonstrate a 33% yield increase compared to untreated. (Average of 3x 1m row length test digs per plot.)
