Importance of Nutrition at Flowering
To boost yield at the flowering stage of the crop, we need to maximize pollination.
There are many critical nutrients to maximize pollination, which include Boron, Copper, Zinc, Manganese, Calcium, Phosphorus and Potassium. Some of these nutrients are immobile (Calcium and Boron) in the plant, meaning they cannot be reallocated from older tissue to where they are required in the reproductive tissue. For other nutrients (Zinc, Copper ,and Manganese), the rate of movement within the plant does not meet the needs of the reproductive parts of the crop.
In addition, the nutrient demand from the flowering plant parts is 2-4 times greater than in the leaves. To ensure proper pollination and seed set, it is critical the crop is supplied with sufficient quantities of these nutrients at reproductive timing to maximize yield.

Why 42PHI Platinum?
Available exclusively at Richardson Pioneer
Through the collaborative efforts of the agronomy teams at ATP and Richardson Pioneer, a new proprietary plant nutrient product has been developed. 42PHI Platinum is a convenient multi-crop formulation that delivers the essential nutrients to the crop at the reproductive stage (fungicide timing).
42PHI Platinum is a novel NPK plus micronutrient formulation to meet the late season nutritional demands of the crop. Designed specifically for application at fungicide timing (the reproductive stage), 42PHI Platinum provides the essential nutrients at this peak demand period to increase flowering and pollination while protecting against biotic threats. 42PHI Platinum is Stage 3 in the System of Chemtrition.
When 42PHI Platinum is added with the fungicide, the following occurs:
- Aids in plant health and synergy with agri-chemistry
- Provides essential nutrients at peak demand period to increase flowering and pollination
- Protects the crop’s established yield potential
- Improves overall plant health to help overcome environment and biological stresses
Proven Agronomic Performance
- The addition of 42PHI with fungicide improved consistency in performance and enhanced productivity by 4.3 bu/ac in Soybeans and 7.8 bu/ac in Wheat, respectively.
- Wheat: Summary of 11 replicated field trials. 42PHI was applied at 0.5 L/ac BBCH 39-45.
- Soybeans: Summary of 22 independent trials in 2012-2015. 42PHI was applied at 1.0 L/ac at the R1 to R2 stage.

Product Recommendations
- 42PHI Platinum can be combined with fungicide or alone.
- Ensure water volume (min. 10 gal/ac) is used for optimum coverage and effectiveness.
- 42PHI Platinum can be combined with either the NRG or Kinetic product line by ATP, if it has been determined that additional nutrients are required.
