Drivers to the healthier plant All around healthier plant is more capable to tackle the adverse effects of the stress. Magnetars ability to mitigate impact of stress is due to multiple mode of actions: • Healthy (micro)nutrient balance. • Enhanced plant metabolism. • Enhanced plant natural defence systems. • Optimisation of plant’s energy economy. 2

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION 3

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 up to 35 % and • improves crop quality features such as Sugar, starch, vitamin, protein levels etc. Responsive to all crops. Proactive solution instead of responsive 4

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.

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. Easy to use non-toxic. Adjustable to existing spraying schedule. Compatible with all conventional agrochemicals (other seed treatments, fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, amino acids, etc.). Synergistic effect with other fertilizers, inoculants and crop protection chemicals 6

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 100-150grams per 1000kg of seed • Foliar treatment of 60grams/acre • 7

MODE OF ACTIONS 1 2

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. 13

Multiple mode of actions E ff ective absorption and translocation of Magnetar molecules. • Faster and more reliable germination. • • Better plant stand.
