Enhance Plant Growth and Reduce Resistance to Abiotic Stress

Biostimulant Fertilizer for High Management Alfalfa

Biostimulants are natural compounds used to enhance plant growth or increase resistance to abiotic stress.

Effect on Yield & Feed Quality

In a cooperator study conducted in Wisconsin, Kriss® biostimulant fertilizer statistically increased total dry matter yield versus untreated check by over 1,000 lb/A.

What is KRISS® biostimulant fertilizer?

  • Registered as a 5-8-4 NPK fertilizer

  • Combination of seaweed extracts and plant-based amino acids

  • Active compounds include tryptophan, arginine and plant extracts
