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.

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.

complexity in a molecular dialog)
