Cytokinins are a class of plant hormones that play a crucial role in regulating various aspects of plant growth and development. They are involved in cell division, shoot and root growth, chloroplast development, delay of senescence (aging), and other physiological processes.

Interaction between boron and potassium Boron (B) and potassium (K) are both essential nutrients for plants, and they interact in various ways to influence plant growth, development, and overall health. Here’s an overview of the interaction between boron and potassium in plants: 1. Boron Uptake and Mobility: 2. Cell Wall Structure and Integrity: 3. Water […]

Lignin is a complex and rigid polymer found in the cell walls of plants, particularly in the secondary cell walls of specialized plant cells. It provides strength, rigidity, and support to the plant, allowing it to stand upright and resist mechanical stress. Lignin is one of the main components that make plant cell walls tough […]

Silica (Si) is not considered an essential nutrient for all plants, but it is beneficial and plays a significant role in the growth and development of many plant species. Silica is primarily absorbed by plants in the form of silicic acid (Si(OH)4) through the roots. Once absorbed, it accumulates in plant tissues as amorphous silica, […]

Cobalt (Co) is considered a beneficial element for some plants rather than an essential nutrient. While it is not a universally recognized essential nutrient for all plant species, certain plants, particularly legumes, have been shown to benefit from cobalt. Here’s an overview of the potential roles of cobalt in plant growth and development, especially in […]

Now is the Time to Use OMEX Stress Reliever Technology with your Herbicide Application! Cereal and canola crops growing in Western Canada are being robbed of maturity – which impacts quality and yield – by many stressors this year, including: Herbicide application at this time can multiply the level of stress on the crop, often […]
