INCREASED ROOT & SHOOT MASS
Sylas-ST treated seeds germinate earlier, and grow more rapidly with an improved root and shoot biomass.
Trials show a consistent 65% improvemet in root biomass, compared to untreated seeds.

IMPROVED DROUGHT TOLERANCE
Sylas-ST improves a plant’s drought tolerance and increases its turgidity due to improved root mass and movement
of water. The oligosaccarides found in Sylas-ST also manage cell integrity and stomatal regulation, further improving
drought tolerance.
