Use name:

Agriculture: Over 95% of the manufactured FBS Defense is exported to the United States. In the US, it is used as an inert ingredient in biopesticides and as an active ingredient in plant growth regulator products. It has been proven to work synergistically with products that control nematode populations and some fungal diseases. As a plant growth regulator, it has been shown to improve seed germination, enhance root (hairs and secondary) growth and nodulation, increase chlorophyll density, and increase both yield quantity and quality. For export, FBS Defense is packaged into 1040 L totes (bulk containers) and shipped via container on a ship.
