Drivers to the healthier plant Abiotic stress (heat, cold, drought , soil). Biotic stress (pests, weeds, diseases). • Stress caused by heavy machinery, compaction, • pesticides and over fertilization. For example; Majority of modern day fields contains less than 2 % of vital humus (organic matter). 3
Drivers to the healthier plant High Light Environmental Stress Plants are like any living organism. They have their own language, metabolic systems, defence mechanisms and much more. Photosynthesis Perception The solutions to these problems have so far been reactive instead of proactive. Magnetar’s developer was one of the first scientists in Antioxidants 1970’s to understand plant physiology and to start investigating how to improve plants physiology against Enhanced Oxidation ROS stress in a proactive way.

Drivers to the healthier plant All around healthier plant is more capable to tackle ENHANCED the adverse e ff ects of the stress. Magnetar’s ability to mitigate impact of stress is due PLANT to multiple mode of actions: Healthy (micro)nutrient balance. • PHYSIOLOGY Enhanced plant metabolism. • • Enhanced plant natural defense systems. • IN A Optimization of plant’s energy economy. • PROACTIVE MANNER 5
PRODUCT INTRODUCTION 6
Magnetar A new type of Seed and foliar treatment fertilizer • In addition of delivering nutrients, Magnetar is • engineered to enhance plant’s all -around healthiness • by stimulating its metabolic activity, energy economy and stress durability. Magnetar increases yield by 10 % - 35 % and improves crop quality features. • Sugar-, starch-, vitamin-, protein levels etc. Response to all crops. • 7
Technology Contains humic substances and all vital macro-, • micro-, and trace elements in a low nutrients concentration. Up to 16 nutrients. Highly concentrated. • Seed treatment of 150grams per 1MT of seed • • Foliar treatment of 60grams/acre • Full treatment: between 0.30 to 0.45 lb/ac (0.35 to • • 0.5 kg/ha). Easy to use and non-toxic. • 8
Technology Molecular level complex with humic- and fulvic acid • backbone and bonded nutrients. Magnetar uses humic substances accumulated by • trees. Main source is lignosulfonate. Engineered to enhance plant’s metabolic activity, • energy economy and stress durability. 9
Magnetar History Over 30 years of R&D. • Originally developed to enable to grow plants in a space station. • 10
2 3 Common wood pulping for paper mills are extracting Magnetar is using purified lignin cellulose from pulp, leaving derivate, lignosulfonate, 1 valuable lignin as a waste acquired from paper mills as a product. base raw material for our products. During decades of growth, tree accumulates valuable organic substances. Lignin is the second most abundant organic polymer in the nature and a main precursor of soil humus. 4 With proprietary technology and formulas, lignosulfonate is mixed with all the vital macro-, micro- and tracenutrients. Through complex chemical processes in Magnetar reac tors, the humic- and fulvic acids and nutrients are bound together into organic complexes, that are easiily absorbed by the plants. 5 Magnetar products are highly concentrated.
How does it work SEED Increased plant stand, yield and the quality of the crop. LEAF Gives the nutrients more e ff ective absorption, mobility and consumption in the plant. Intensified metabolic activity; chlorophyll, photosynthesis and natural defence compounds synthesis. STEM Stronger and more endurable stem (protects from lodging and carries additional yield). Improves metabolism and energy economy throughout the plant. SOIL Increases the bacterial and micro-organism activity in soil and rhizosphere. ROOTS Healthier and stronger roots with increased nutrient uptake. Longer and more divided roots, better reach to sub-soil nutrients. RHIZOSPHERE Increases nutrient uptake e.g Nitrogen fixation and nodule formulation. 12
PLANT DEPENDENCY ON MICRONUTRIENTS 13
Plant dependency on micronutrients and secondary nutrients Micronutrients are essential factors especially to plant’s metabolism via enzymes and chelation. • Fe: Synthesis of Chlorophyll, enzyme co-factor • Zn: Enzymes, DNA Cu: Photosynthesis, enzymes • B: Carbohydrate-, amino acid-, protein metabolism • etc. • Ni: enzymes Co & Mo: N 2 fixation and N uptake Mg: Chlorophyll’s central atom • 14
Plant dependency on N O micronutrients C Conventionally micronutrients have been applied as water solutions of mineral forms. META L C Prior entering plant cell, multiple barriers to overcome: O N Solubility • Cell membrane Cuticle • Apoplast • Cell Wall • EDTA Chelated micronutrients design to aid absorption.
