Active AgriScience

When a pulse crop receives a herbicide application, growth slows as the plant shifts energy toward detoxification and recovery. Adding more nitrogen does little to support that process and can sometimes add additional stress.

VPR Plus delivers balanced macro nutrition including phosphorus and potassium alongside nitrogen, helping maintain energy production, root activity, nutrient movement, and plant health during one of the most stressful periods of the season.

The result?

✓ Improved stress tolerance

✓ Faster recovery after application

✓ More biomass production

✓ Better root development

✓ Greater yield potential

These side by side plants tell the story.

Healthy plants handle stress better. Better recovery means more days growing and fewer days surviving.

Balanced Nutrition Builds Better Plants

Left: Competitor
Right: Active BUILD

Same field. Same season. Very different foundation.

The plants treated with Active BUILD developed larger root systems, thicker crowns, and significantly more biomass. When crops have access to balanced nutrition during critical growth stages, they can invest more energy below ground and above ground, creating a stronger, more resilient plant.

Why does it matter?

✓ More root mass for improved water and nutrient uptake
✓ Increased biomass production and photosynthetic capacity
✓ Stronger plants that are better equipped to handle stress
✓ Greater nutrient reserves to support flowering and pod set
✓ Improved yield potential through healthier plant development

Plants don’t yield because they’re simply fed. They yield because they’re able to efficiently capture sunlight, water, and nutrients throughout the season.

Balanced nutrition helps build the engine that drives yield.

Healthy plants handle stress better.

Every stress event, whether it’s heat, drought, herbicide applications, or environmental extremes, triggers the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) inside the plant. When ROS levels become too high, they damage cell membranes, chlorophyll, and the plant’s ability to efficiently produce energy.

The plant’s natural defense system relies on enzymes like Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) to neutralize these harmful compounds before they cause lasting damage.

When nutrition is limited, the plant spends more time fighting stress and less time building yield.

In this growers field comparison, wheat treated with Active BUILD maintained better plant health, fuller heads, and reduced floret abortion compared to a leading competitor.

Supporting plant nutrition during reproductive growth helps the crop manage oxidative stress, maintain photosynthetic activity, and direct more energy toward grain production.

Healthier plants.
Better stress tolerance.
Greater yield potential.
