Prosper Plus: a high strength foliar phosphite to maximise rooting and establishment

Prosper Plus is a phosphite based biostimulant solution for foliar application. It is readily absorbed by the crop and easily translocated to the roots, where it increases the level of the cytokinin cis-Zeatin (cZ) that boosts root growth. It has been proven in trials to encourage root biomass by over 30%. Recent research by the University of Kiel has demonstrated that foliar phosphite improves the crop’s nitrogen use efficiency by increasing the activity of nitrate reductase (NR).

What are biostimulants used for?

Plant biostimulants are responsible for improving a wide range of vital crop inputs, including but not limited to, increasing productivity, mitigating against environmental changes and encouraging more sustainable farming practices. They also contribute towards improving our ability to address global concerns such as soil quality and biodiversity.

What crops can Prosper Plus be used on?

Prosper Plus is primarily used on cereals, oilseed rape, maize, grass and potatoes. As a science-led organisation, IntraCrop prides itself on its thorough testing and ability to deliver on label claims. All of our biostimulant technologies has had independent trials on the suggested crop types.

How do biostimulants improve nutrient use efficiency?

Biostimulants work in a range of ways to improve nutrient use efficiency (NUE). Not only can they physically increase root size, giving the plant a larger surface area to absorb nutrients, but they stimulate nitrogen assimulation and improve uptake of foliar applied nitrogen based products. Using biostimulants alongside fertiliser use will significantly improve the efficacy of that fertiliser. Our biostimulant technologies can support you in increasing NUE of a wide variety of crops, reducing your impact on the environment whilst maintaining profitability, yield & quality.

Frequently asked questions

How does Prosper Plus stimulate root growth?

Prosper Plus contains phosphite, which triggers the production of the cytokinin cis-Zeatin (cZ). This plant hormone stimulates primary and lateral root development, increasing root biomass by over 30% in trials.

Why is root biomass so important for crop performance?

A larger, healthier root system increases the surface area for nutrient and water uptake, improving establishment and giving better resilience during stress, in turn increasing yield potential.

Can Prosper Plus improve nitrogen use efficiency (NUE)?

Research from the University of Kiel shows that foliar phosphite boosts nitrate reductase activity. This enzyme is used in nitrogen assimilation, therefore phosphite improves NUE and helps to make better use of applied fertilisers.

Which growing conditions benefit most from Prosper Plus?

Prosper Plus is particularly effective on light soils, late-sown crops or areas prone to drought stress, where maximising root growth and NUE is more important.

When should Prosper Plus be applied?

Apply during early crop establishment to maximise root development and again before periods of high nutrient demand or environmental stress.

Can Prosper Plus be used as part of a programme?

Yes. It can be sequenced with Prosper ST seed treatment and Talisman. It is also readily compatible with Cearum for combined biostimulant and micronutrient delivery.

Is Prosper Plus compatible with crop protection products?

Prosper Plus is readily compatible with most plant protection and nutrition products. Always check compatibility guidelines and follow label recommendations.

What crops respond best to Prosper Plus?

Prosper Plus is suited for use on cereals, oilseed rape, maize, grass and potatoes, with proven independent trial results supporting its effectiveness.

How does Prosper Plus support sustainable farming practices?

By improving NUE and root development, Prosper Plus helps growers reduce reliance on high fertiliser inputs, lowering environmental impact while maintaining yield and quality.

Will Prosper Plus still benefit crops in optimal conditions?

Yes. Even in favourable conditions, Prosper Plus can enhance root structure, nutrient uptake and stress tolerance, which helps crops reach their full potential.
