Agrizest: for all Tree and Vine Crops
Increase Plant Health & Performance
Agrizest is an elicitor of the phenylpropanoid pathway for plant health, fruit quality and productivity. Agrizest boosts orchard gate returns.
Agrizest reduces stress caused by pests, disease or environmental conditions. Agrizest ensures healthy, sustainable production.
Benefits include:
improved leaf size and health
improved cane replacement
reduced biennial production
overall improved plant/crop performance and increased returns
Increase Fruit Quality & Yield
Agrizest helps you produce high yields of high-quality fruit with excellent size, colour and flavour, fewer rejects and better storage.
Key results:
Green kiwifruit returns increased by $6,626/ha
Apple yield increased by 30%
Increased wine flavour compounds by 10%
Increased colour, firmness and fruit weight in apples

How Does Agrizest Work?
For detailed scientific information please read the paper published in a peer reviewed scientific journal.
Introduction to the Science
Agrizest works indirectly to elicit phenylpropanoids to reduce stress and increase plant performance.
All plants have receptors on their surfaces so, rather than directly feeding the plant or targeting a specific pest or disease, Agrizest is designed to be registered by these receptors which then elicits, or triggers, a plant response.
Agrizest is manufactured from various plant derived materials. Proteins, fats and phospholipids are extracted and re-formed so that, when applied to plants, they mimic the attack of pest, disease and environmental stress without causing any actual damage to the plant. The plant reacts to Agrizest applications by producing Phenylpropanoids.
Agrizest is not a hormone spray, fortified seaweed or fertiliser and does not leave any residue.
Introduction to Phenylpropanoids
Phenylpropanoids are a range of bioactive molecules, naturally produced by all plants, responsible for important plant and fruit quality characteristics. They also support the repair, growth and defence systems (immune systems) of plants.
Examples include lignin and suberin to harden cells and produce crunchier fruit, flavanoids for improved flavour, anthocyanins for high colour and coumestrol and other oils to repair damage. When Agrizest is applied to plants it triggers and elicits the production of these molecules, ultimately enabling optimal plant health and fruit quality.

ADD PRIMAZEST TO YOUR ORDER:
for early season growth, pre-production vine & tree crops, new plantings and grafts.
Use Primazest in newly planted/grafted orchards and on new grafts within established orchards to encourage strong growth and to help bring new varieties into production.
Primazest supports:
Healthy growth
Reduced damage
Recovery from stress caused by variable spring
conditions such as high winds and frost.
Primazest encourages strong, healthy growth to set you up for a productive first crop.
DIRECTIONS
When leaves are 2-4cm:
Rate: Primazest at 5ml/L with a knapsack sprayer
Timing: every 3-7 days.
When growth has reached the stage where a sprayer with directed nozzles is necessary:
Rate: Primazest at 5ml/L,
Timing: every 7-14 days.
With an almost full canopy/when more than 200L of water is needed to cover 1 hectare):
Rate: Primazest at 1L/ha with an air blast sprayer
Timing: every 14-21 days until full canopy is achieved or your Agrizest programme begins.
Agrizest Reviews & Videos
Paul Christey, Waikato
“My biggest problem this year is breaking branches and support posts from all the extra fruit!!! Nathan the crop this year is much cleaner from mites , woolly apple aphid, leaf curling midge, I have not seen any codling moth or leaf roller damage , insect damage is insignificant throughout the whole orchard.”
Guy Cumming, Gisborne
Guy Cumming says Agrizest does everything claimed about it. Old grapefruit trees that once produced juicing fruit now have supermarket-quality fruit. His fruit grow with more vigor, the skins are cleaner, they taste better and they have improved colour. “The transformation has been quite remarkable. I’m scared not to use it now”.
Mike Lane, Clive River Vineyard, Hawke's Bay
The leaves are shinier and bigger, and the grape yields and ripeness are improved. "We're talking about 3 to 4 per cent riper, which is significant because a 0.1 per cent increase in brix [sugar content] can be worth $5 a tonne"
Persimon Growers, Auckland.Waikato
“I have to say our persimmons look the best I’ve seen them look in 37 years. The leaves are beautiful dark green and glossy. We have got the least rejects we’ve had in all our years of exporting which is extremely pleasing. Fruit quality is excellent.”
