Helping plants thrive in dry conditions

Resilience starts with the right nutrition

Drought is tough on crops. It slows growth, reduces yield, and puts your entire season at risk. But plants aren’t helpless. With the right amounts of nutrients, they can stay productive — even when water is limited.

Balanced nutrition helps plants manage stress better. It improves water-use efficiency, supports healthy root systems, and keeps essential processes like photosynthesis running smoothly. It gives your crops the strength to grow through the dry spells, not just survive them.

How POLY4 supports drought resilience

When drought hits, plants struggle to grow, absorb nutrients, and stay productive. But when they’re well-fed, they’re better equipped to cope. Each nutrient in POLY4 plays a specific role in helping crops manage water stress and stay resilient.

Potassium (K): Helps regulate water flow inside the plant and reduces water loss by controlling transpiration. It supports stomatal closure under stress, helping plants conserve moisture.

Magnesium (Mg): Powers photosynthesis, even in tough conditions. It activates antioxidant systems, boosts root volume, and improves nutrient and water uptake — all key to better water-use efficiency. It also helps move sugars from leaves to roots, supporting growth.

Calcium (Ca): Strengthens cell walls and improves plant structure. It supports root development, helping plants reach deeper water sources. Calcium also improves soil structure, which enhances rooting and water regulation.

Sulfur (S): Plays a role in signaling water stress and regulating stomatal closure. It supports protein production and root growth, helping plants stay active during dry spells.

And here’s the extra advantage: POLY4 releases nutrients steadily over time, so plants stay nourished even when the conditions are tough.
