GENERAL INFORMATION
SIAPTON is a biological product containing peptides, polypeptides and amino acids. Regular use of Siapton brings many benefits including quicker plant growth, longer flowering stems, better fruit set, higher yields and improved produce quality as well as increasing the plants capability of overcoming nress (frost, drought, pruning, pest attack, pesticide phytotoxicity).

WHAT IT DOES (MODE OF ACTION)
Improves uptake of nutrients: SIAPTON constituents form complexes with the metals that can be easily assimilated and transposed into vegetative tissues.
Bio-stimulates: quickly absorbed and transposed. It activates fundamental enzyme systems wfth reduced waste of energy by the plant.
Balances nutrition: the activation of specific enzymes enhances the Incorporation of nitrogen into proteins, thus allowing rationalised nitrogen fenilization and reduced risk of accumulation of nitrates in certain crops (i.e. vegetables).
Settles stress situation: it reacts on water balances, strengthening of cell walls and formation of chlorophyll making the plant more resistant to stress (i.e. nematostatic and antiviral effects). Regulates the hormonal activities: although it does not contain any plant growth regulator, it helps the plant to produce and regulate the equilibrium between endogenous hormones, favouring the reproduction anivlty, fruit setting and ripening process.
TARGET CROPS
SIAPTON can be applied on several kinds ofcrops: Fruits(Citrus, Lemons, Oranges, Tangerine), Olives, Vegetables (Beans, Tomatoes, Courgettes, Cauliflowers, Anichokes, Celery, Egg plants, Cucumbers, Melon, Water melon, Endive), Tropical fruits (Avocados, Bananas, Mangoes, Papaya, Pineapple), Coffee, Tea, Industrial crops (Cotton, Potatoes, Sugarbeet, Soyabeans etc.), Cereals (Wheat, Maize, Rice etc.), Ornamentals (Roses, Poinsettia, Carnation, Chrysanthemum).
SIAPTON can also be usecl as rooting stimvlator on cuttings of forest and ornamental trees.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
The following rates refer to normal – volume sprays (1500 -1800 litres per hectare for fruit trees 600 – 800 litres per hectare for herbaceous crops). In case of low volume sprays, increase the rates to maintain the same quantity of product per hectare.
MIXTURE PREPARATION
Pour the adequate quantity of product directly into the sprayet tank previously filled of 2/3 water. Turn on the shaking device. Complete tank filling and begin spraying.
APPLICATION RATE
| Crop | Rate | Specification |
| Tropical fruits (Avocados, Bananas, Mangoes, Pineapple, Citrus) Tea, Coffee, Vegetables, Soybeans, Legumes Ornamentals, Roses, Turf | Normal use: 2-3L/1000L of water (40-60ml/20L of water) (30-40ml/15L of water) | Apply before and after blossoming of fruit trees, during the swelling of the fruits. More in general, for fruit trees and herbaceous crops, 3-4 treatments per season with intervals of 2-3 weeks are suggested |
| Cereals (Wheat, Maize, Rice etc.) | 3-5L/Ha | Apply in mixture with post-emergence herbicides and fungicides |
| Fertigation | 3-6L/Ha | Add to irrigation water |
| Rooting treatment of cuttings of trees | Dip the cuttings in a 0.5% solution of Siapton for a few minutes |
