| About N-Hibit
N-Hibit is a dry material that is
not a restricted use product. It is easy to apply by the seed
dealer or in the hopper box, has an excellent safety profile, and
leaves no residuals in the water, soil or on plants.
The active ingredient in N-Hibit
and other Harp-N-Tek™ products is harpin protein, which is
produced by disease causing bacteria that attack plants. Harp-N-Tek
products do not contain pathogens, but cause the plant to respond
as though being attacked. Harpin proteins do not enter the plant.
They bind with the plant’s external harpin protein receptors,
which are present on seed, as well as foliage. This turns on the
plant’s natural self defense and growth systems. Then the harpin
proteins harmlessly disintegrate.
N-Hibit has
been tested at 100 times field application rates and no harpin
protein was detected on the harvested soybeans.
