Halo is the first product of an entirely new class of Crop Production Technology.

Halo offers growers a highly effective and environmentally sound tool to improve yields and regulate plant health.

Halo is a naturally occurring protein that activates a plant’s natural defence systems. A message or signal is sent throughout the plant, initiating a sequence of physiological and biochemical reactions that activate plant growth and stress defence pathways. These biochemical pathways lead to increased levels of the defence orientated secondary metabolites, improved cell wall formation and stimulates ‘hardening’ of the plant's tissues. Halo has an indirect effect on many genes within the plant delivering cell wall expansion, cell elongation, increased Sugar transport genes, Increased reproduction genes which deliver flower initiation resulting in increased flower sets and size. The result is a healthier, more productive crop.

Halo has been extensively trialled throughout the world and will provide the following benefits

• Activates growth mechanisms that result in improved plant vigour, increased plant stamina and an improved stress-defence response.
• Activates cell wall expansion, cell elongation, protein and sugar transport
• Promotes flower initiation, fruit set & size and an increase in aromatic oil production
• Increases photosynthesis by up to 20% and nutrient uptake in plants. These ultimately express value to growers by increasing yield and fruit quality.
• Activates defence mechanisms increasing the plant’s ability to defend itself against certain viral, bacterial and fungal plant diseases.
• Pre-harvest applications reduce the incidence of Botrytis (bud rot) and extend shelf-life.

Application Rates

Foliar applications: Mix dry, soluble Halo in water at a dilution rate of 10ml per litre of tap water. A 100g tub will provide 10L of foliar spray.

Apply 2-4 times throughout the growth cycle. Treatments are recommended around critical crop physiological growth stages such as exponential vegetative growth, flower induction,

flower enlargement and pre harvest.

Formulation: Dry powder

Active ingredient: Harpin alpha beta protein.
