Twoxo XL

Enhance nutrient use

Twoxo XL is a unique award-winning signalling molecule designed to increase nitrogen assimilation in plants and up-regulate photosynthesis.

The technology has many possibilities. It can increase crop establishment, growth and development, leading to increased yield and quality depending upon application, timing and dose.

It is proven 2-oxo is superior to L-PGA, but the combination outperforms either separately.

What does it do?

The 2-oxoglutaramate (2-OXO) technology stimulates the plant to increase both CO2 uptake as well as nitrogen. This creates a similar crop effect to that of elevated atmospheric CO2 levels, increasing biomass and yield.

The complex with L-PGA is very synergistic, as both are critical for N assimilation and nitrogen use efficiency.

Features

How does it do it?

The unique combination of 2-oxo, L-PGA and y-PGA work synergistically to enhance nutrient use efficiency, increasing the assimilation of nitrogen co-ordinated with CO2 fixation from photosynthesis. It is proven that 2-oxo is superior to L-PGA, but the combination outperforms either separately.
