Lallemand - LALSTIM OSMO Biostimulant

Brand: Lallemand

LALSTIM OSMO

LALSTIM OSMO is a highly soluble wettable powder formulation of glycine betaine that builds a plant's tolerance to abiotic environmental stress. It provides persistent osmoprotection so plants can withstand harsh conditions such as heat, cold, drought, and high salinity for several weeks. The water-soluble formulation is highly stable and compatible with most tank-mix inputs.

As an osmoprotectant, LALSTIM OSMO facilitates water uptake and retention and adjusts the osmotic balance in plant cells and tissues, supporting improved photosynthesis, nitrogen metabolism, and translocation during adverse conditions. It is applied as a foliar treatment and can be tank-mixed with most other inputs, including alongside LALSTOP G46 WG to reduce stress that makes plants more susceptible to infection.
