Bio-Forge is a patented formulation of N,N’ — diformyl urea, classified as an antioxidant — and has significantly improved plant growth in a variety of crops by working at the genetic level. Bio-Forge works by up-regulating genes from the plant’s own major anti-oxidative pathways as well as genes responsible for ethylene production and root growth.
Under stressful conditions, plants produce excess ethylene which can cause them to die prematurely. Bio-Forge suppresses excessive ethylene at the genetic level and improves plant hormone balance by up-regulating the Dreb1A gene, a gene shown to play a role in drought tolerance and the RLS4 gene, the gene responsible for improving root development. Continuous root tip growth helps keep a healthy level of plant hormones during all stages of growth and improves nutrient uptake.
Bio-Forge also improves cellular viability by up-regulating the four enzymes that protect plants from damage in response to stress from:
- Drought
- Injury from herbicides and pesticides
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Extreme temperatures
It mixes easily with most crop protection products for application flexibility.
