BRANDT® EnzUp® Zn on Corn: 2019 Trials

Early plant vigor measurements were taken over various soil types and conditions.  Trials compared starter fertilizer (grower standard) vs. starter fertilizer with 1 qt/acre BRANDT EnzUp Zn included.  

BRANDT EnzUp Zn treatments showed increased plant vigor.

• Root Mass (4.3% Increase)
• Stalk Diameter (4.2% Increase)
• Height (5.1% Increase)

Data is significant at a 95% confidence level. 

Measurements were taken between V3 to V6.

The early plant vigor is primary driven by the two enzymes in BRANDT EnzUp Zn. The addition of zinc is also beneficial.

Mannanase: 2.0 x 10³uUnits/ml
Converts hemicellulose in the soil into smaller, absorbable sugars that are used by the plantas well as plant growth promoting microbes.

Lipase 1.0 x 10⁶uUnits/ml
Breaks down lipids from organic residue and lipid based root exudates. As much as 20% of organic matter consists of lipids

Zinc (Zn) 4%
Zinc is a co-factor which upregulates the activity of many enzymes. Zn is also important for auxin production and growth in corn.
