Salvador C-plex is a concentrated liquid nutrient formulated to facilitate nutrient uptake, containing a biostimulant that allows rapid and efficient translocation throughout the plant. The trace elements in Salvador, chelated with EDTA and with C-plex, are essential cofactors for the production and functioning of enzymes in the plant. C-plex is an innovative small carbon-based molecule that, by chelating nutrients, prevents them from binding to plant tissues and allows them to move within the plant.
In trials conducted over several years in spring wheat and winter wheat, Salvador C-plex delivered substantial yield increases when applied with herbicides.
| Crop | Yield difference vs. control | Difference in bu/acre | Number of trials | Winning percentage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring wheat | 132.7 kg/ha | 2.0 bu/acre | 9* | 100% |
| Winter wheat | 350.0 kg/ha | 5.2 bu/acre | 2** | 100% |
| Average | 172.2 kg/ha | 2.6 bu/acre | 11 | — |

The profitability of applying Salvador in wheat has been demonstrated. In spring wheat, the average yield increase observed is 172 kg/ha. At a price of $425/t (September 2023 delivery, Grainwiz report of March 16, 2023), the grower will earn an additional $73.10/hectare and a return on investment of $3.10 for every dollar spent on Salvador.
Using Salvador in winter wheat resulted in a yield increase of 350 kg/ha. At a price of $407/t (September 2023 delivery, Grainwiz report of March 16, 2023), using Salvador in winter wheat shows a return on investment of $6.01 for every dollar spent on Salvador.
