What Is LCO Promoter Technology? LCO (lipo-chitooligosaccharide) Promoter Technology is a unique molecule that enhances a plant’s nutritional capabilities, driving the natural growth processes such as root and shoot development. Root and shoot development is promoted immediately and independently of variety, soil and environmental conditions. The natural growth processes occur sooner for a healthier start for plants, translating into higher yields and better returns at the end of the season. ESTABLISH LIQUID A pea and lentil product containing naturally occurring plant signal molecules called flavonoids in a rhizobia carrier. The addition of flavonoids in ESTABLISH LIQUID work to increase the speed of recognition between the plant and the rhizobia, leading to earlier nodulation and nitrogen fixation. Plant Signals Nodules Application rate 3 ml/kg seed (120 bu/9.46 L case) What are flavonoids? Flavonoids are plant signal molecules that stimulate the appropriate rhizobium species to produce LCO. LCO initiates the recognition process required for nodule formation, which leads to earlier nodulation (see diagram at right). Flavonoids also attract the rhizobia to the plant’s root hairs improving rhizobial adhesion and colonization.
