Armour

ARMOUR — Activate Plant Defences. Strengthen Growth. Shield Against Stress.

Every crop faces challenges, from heat and drought to disease pressure and rapid growth demands. ARMOUR is designed to help crops fight back. This powerful foliar-applied, controlled-release salicylic acid formulation stimulates the plant’s natural defence pathways, helping crops stay resilient, productive, and vigorous under both biotic and abiotic stress.

By delivering plant-available salicylic acid in a highly controlled, efficient foliar form, ARMOUR enhances physiological processes that are vital to growth, protection, and recovery. The result is stronger plants that stand up better to environmental pressure and maintain performance throughout the season.

Naturally Powering Plant Defence & Stress Tolerance

Salicylic acid is a naturally occurring compound in plants, playing a central role in:

• Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR)
• Temperature, drought, and salt stress response
• Pathogen suppression and immune activation
• Regulation of photosynthesis and stomatal function
• Nutrient transport and energy movement

ARMOUR enhances these natural processes by providing a controlled-release foliar supply, ensuring a steady and effective activation of defence mechanisms. ARMOUR helps crops:

• Respond more quickly to environmental stress
• Better withstand heat, cold, drought, and salinity
• Strengthen internal resistance to pathogens
• Maintain growth and energy production during difficult conditions

Boost Photosynthesis, Growth Speed & Plant Strength

Beyond defence, salicylic acid plays a key regulatory role in photosynthesis and cellular development. ARMOUR helps optimise:

• Chlorophyll formation
• Leaf and chloroplast structure
• Stomatal regulation
• Cell strength during formation

This means crops can create energy more efficiently, build biomass faster, and maintain better structure and function throughout the season. In practical terms, growers see:

• Faster, stronger vegetative growth
• Improved root and shoot development
• Enhanced plant stability and performance
• Better yield potential due to more consistent growth

Superior Compatibility & Easy Integration Into Spray Programs

Unlike many other elicitors such as seaweed extracts or chitosan, ARMOUR is tank-mix compatible with potassium silicate, specifically RAMPART™, making it a powerful partner during pathogen protection sprays and general plant health applications.

This versatility makes ARMOUR ideal for modern Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) strategies, where multiple inputs must work efficiently together. Growers benefit from:

• Safe, easy foliar applications
• Consistent uptake and rapid assimilation
• Compatibility with nutrition, crop health products, and some fungicides & insecticides
• Flexible use across multiple crop types

For best results, pair with RAMPART™ for enhanced silicon-driven plant strength and stress tolerance.

ARMOUR — Build a Stronger, More Resilient Crop Naturally

With its controlled-release salicylic acid formulation, ARMOUR gives crops the ability to better defend themselves, maintain higher levels of photosynthesis, and grow efficiently under pressure. It is a safe, convenient, and highly effective addition to any plant health programme.
