What next for plant biostimulants? – a regulatory perspective

How are plant biostimulants developed?

Intracrop is science-led. Our biostimulants/adjuvants are developed alongside universities, research institutes and independent scientists. Independent trials, financed significantly by our parent company Frontier, produce clear, reliable results. We work alongside agronomists to ensure we understand the key issues being experienced on the farm, by crop and region. Our biostimulant and adjuvant technologies and products are designed and rigorously tested to address these issues and support farmers in maximising productivity in crop production.

What are biostimulant technologies used for?

Plant biostimulants are responsible for improving a wide range of vital crop inputs, including but not limited to, increasing productivity, mitigating against environmental changes and encouraging more sustainable farming practices. They also contribute towards improving our ability to address global concerns such as soil quality and biodiversity.

Intracrop currently offers four biostimulant technologies: MTU®, R100, phosphite and pidolic acid. These technologies are used in varying combinations in our biostimulant products. We recommend that biostimulants are used in sequence to enhance crop development throughout the season from rooting and establishment to final yield.

Our biostimulant technical information will tell you more.

What is an adjuvant technologies used for?

Typically used alongside crop protection products, adjuvants are designed to enhance the efficacy of spray products. They do this by adhering them to the plant surface, giving a more even spray coverage, slowing drying time of spray products to increase absorption, reducing UV degradation or even to lower the pH as a buffering agent. Intracrop has developed a range of adjuvants that work in a range of ways, specifically designed to be partnered with crop protection products. Find out more here.
