The biochemical mechanisms of defence by some plants against the insects are wide-ranging, highly dynamic, and are mediated both by direct and indirect defences. The evolutionary arms race between these plants and insects has resulted in the development of an elegant defence system in plants that has the ability to recognize the non self molecules or signals from damaged cells, and activates the plant immune response against the insects. To counter the insect attack, some plants produce specialized morphological structures or secondary metabolites and proteins that have toxic, repellent, and anti nutritional effects on the insects.
These plants produce chemicals such as terpenoids, alkaloids, anthocyanins, phenols, and quinones that either kill or retard the development of the insects. This plant defensive natural plant actives, plant protectors are harnessed scientifically in the Nutri Power Series to deliver it as a protective weapon to the plant along with the nutrients through the fast acting amino acid complex.
Nutri Power Series is the first Plant Nutrient Formulation which has these Plant Protectors which effectively controls the unwanted inspect pests. With over a decade of research Nutri Power Series incorporates a complex formulation of these natural compounds including triterpenoids, liminoids and terpenes extracted from botanical sources.
As non-hazardous to animals, humans and towards the environment, these plant protectors disrupts the life cycles, breeding and feeding processes of insect pests and other insects. Nutri Power Series is specially formulated with several different high structural complexity plant compounds with antifeedant property. Due to the formulation's multiple modes of action there is no evolution of resistance by the insect pests
In contrast to toxic chemical insecticides which generally work by affecting the target insect’s nervous system, Nutri Power series plant protectors disrupt the cellular, biochemical and physiological processes of insects. They affect the metamorphosis of insects (from larvae to pupae to adult stages), mating and sexual communications, deters females from laying healthy eggs, sterilizes adults, and negates the insect's appetite for food, thereby disrupting feeding activity.
