Your Guide to a Complete Peanut Nutrition Program

Thanks for tuning in to our Peanut Nutrition Program Series! Our experts, who have years of experience working with peanuts, have put together their recommendations for secondary and micronutrients based on their experience and trial work with peanuts. We’ll be posting short videos discussing critical nutrients needed at each growth stage of peanuts.

 

What You’ll Learn

• What micronutrients are important to peanuts
• What role each micronutrient plays in peanut production
• When to apply micronutrients to peanut
• A better understanding of foliar micronutrient technologies
• Which products can help you accomplish your micronutrient goals

Key Nutrients

• Manganese
• Potassium
• Sulfur

 

Product and Timing

• BRANDT Uptake Starter 1 – 4 pt/ac (4.0% N, 1.0% K, 4.0% S)

3 Different Types of Enzymes

All of BRANDT's EnzUp formulations utilize one or a combination of the following enzymes:

Mannanase Enzyme

its primary function is to break down starches in the exudate that surrounds the outermost layer of the root tips. This chemical reaction creates a draw of water and nutrients to the root zone and releases sugars to the plant. This in turn boosts root growth and increases microbial activity

 

Lipase Enzyme

its primary function is to break down lipids in root exudates and organic residue in the soil allowing for better water flow and nutrient uptake by the roots.

What is BRANDT EnzUp Technology?

BRANDT EnzUp is a groundbreaking new enzyme technology that enhances water and nutrient availability, uptake and use by the roots and increases microbial activity. The result is improved soil and plant health, increased root mass and improved drought and stress tolerance.

 

What Are Enzymes?

Enzymes are proteins that catalyze biological reactions. In the soil they are produced primarily by microbes and perform many important functions:

• Conversion of organic and inorganic nutrients
• Nitrogen fixation and conversion
• Carbon cycling
• Pesticide degradation
• Organic matter decomposition

 

Often, enzymes require metallic cofactor like zinc to function. BRANDT ENZUP enzymes undergo a patent pending process that prevents the enzymes from degrading in the soil too quickly after application. This allows them to remain active longer and substantially increases enzyme efficacy. This is an entirely new technology and scientific breakthrough for agriculture.

BRANDT Smart B Superior Mobility

Conventional Boron Tied Up Inside Plant

Our Boron Moves!

Typically, once boron has been absorbed by the plant and incorporated into the primary cell walls structures, disassembly, reorganization, and transport of the boron cannot occur resulting in its immobility.

 

To address this boron mobility issue, BRANDT developed BRANDT Smart B and BRANDT Smart B-Mo to specifically prevent boron from binding with pectins, ensuring that applied boron remains free and mobile for effective travel to plant growth tissues.

The BRANDT smart boron molecule is cross-linked, which provides a protective “shield” for the boron that significantly increases foliar applied boron mobility. This allows the smart boron molecule(s) access to plant growing points quickly and easily, thereby providing the most benefit.

 

The molecule structure also allows the formulations to tank mix with other crop chemicals and fertilizers, including calcium, without any compatibility issues.

 

In contrast, conventional boron fertilizers are not cross-linked with oxygen, which results in less boron availability and less boron at plant growing points.
