BRANDT™ Manni-Plex™
High Performance Foliar Nutrients
BRANDT Manni-Plex delivers the right nutrients, in the right form which allows for maximum turf health. Unlike other nutrient forms, the nutrient elements in BRANDT Manni-Plex formulations are complexed with sugar alcohol. The proprietary complex has a very small molecular size and shape, which allows BRANDT Manni-Plex to enter the plant through small stomata and transcuticular pores on the leaf surface and helps get more nutrients into the turfgrass.
Once BRANDT Manni-Plex nutrients are inside the plant, they move quickly and freely through the phloem to the plant growth areas This allows the plant to fully utilize the applied nutrients, which results in improved plant health and turfgrass quality.
The correlation of sugar alcohol complexes and nutrient mobility within plants have been validated in University studies. Research showed that plants that were rich in sugar alcohol complexes, such as mannitol, had better distribution of nutrients such as boron from leaves through the phloem and a higher accumulation in fruit tissues.
Key Benefits
■ Formulated with a sugar alcohol complex, which
turfgrass views as a natural source
■ Small molecular size and shape improves nutrient
absorption
■ Nutrients support plant physiological processes
including growth, development and response to
environmental stress
■ Proprietary formulation coats leaves and adheres to the
leaf surface, making it available to the plant longer
■ Compatible with most insecticides, fungicides and PGRs
■ May also be used in fertigation
BRANDT iHammer
Increases Nutritive Energy Flow to
Photosynthesis and Respiration
BRANDT iHammer: Patented Glycoregulator Technology
The science behind BRANDT iHammer is based on glycoregulation in the field, i.e., BRANDT iHammer added the nutritional interaction of carbohydrates in the Plant Lectin Cycle to the grower’s tool chest.
Lectins have an affinity to bind carbohydrates and we saw that was a problem because it made energy-packed nutrition unavailable to the plant for photosynthesis and metabolism.
BRANDT iHammer‘s technology solves this issue, by preventing lectins from binding those carbs. BRANDT iHammer formulations “unlock and release” carbs off of lectins. Now, the plant is able to access more carbohydrates for use in key life processes.
The end result is our glycoregulator technology that makes more nutrition and energy available to stimulate root and top growth, while keeping turf resilient under environmental stress conditions.
BRANDT iHammer Technology Unlocks and Releases Carbs
Three formulations are currently available for turf and
ornamentals
■ They contain patented glycoregulator technology
■ Feature high quality, stable and readily available
nutrients
■ Are compatible with most fertilizers, pesticides and
adjuvants
BRANDT Converge
Nutrition with Nitamin™ Extended Release
BRANDT iHammer: Patented Glycoregulator Technology
BRANDT Converge formulations contain Nitamin,
a targeted foliar nitrogen and patented liquid
nutrient source It is designed to make some
nitrogen immediately available, while reserving
the rest to provide a steady supply of nitrogen
Key Benefits
■ Nitamin is applied directly to the leaf surface for rapid absorption and green-up
■ Low salt index and low levels of ammonia and biuret, it is a safe fertilizer solution
■ Due to its high N concentration, it stays soluble longer – delivering enhanced foliar uptake over an extended period of time
■ Compatible with a wide range of micronutrients and plant protection chemicals
Other Brandt Products
Spray Pattern Indicators
BRANDT offers a range of spray pattern indicators designed to enhance the precision and efficiency of chemical applications. These temporary colorants visibly mark sprayed areas, helping applicators prevent skips, overlaps, and drift, thereby reducing waste and ensuring accurate coverage.
These indicators are compatible with various spray equipment and can be used alongside liquid fertilizers, herbicides, and fungicides. By incorporating BRANDT’s spray pattern indicators into your application process, you can achieve more precise and efficient chemical treatments.
Pond Dyes
BRANDT offers a selection of super-strength pond dyes designed to enhance the aesthetic appeal of water bodies such as ponds, lakes, fountains, and lagoons. These dyes impart natural, deep hues to the water, improving its appearance without harming aquatic life, humans, or wildlife. The concentrated formulas ensure effective coloration with minimal product use.
These pond dyes are part of BRANDT’s comprehensive water treatment product line, which also includes irrigation chemicals and aquatic adjuvants.
Humic/Seaweed Specialty Nutritionals
BRANDT offers a range of specialty nutritionals that combine the benefits of humic substances and seaweed extracts to enhance plant health and growth. These products are designed to improve root development, increase nutrient uptake, and bolster resistance to environmental stresses.
These humic and seaweed-based nutritionals are integral to BRANDT’s commitment to providing innovative solutions that support sustainable and productive agricultural practices.
Specialty Liquid Nutrients
BRANDT offers a comprehensive range of specialty liquid nutrients designed to enhance plant health and optimize crop yields. Their product lineup includes foliar fertilizers, such as the BRANDT® Smart System® and Manni-Plex® lines, which are formulated to boost nutrient absorption and plant vigor.
