Chitosan is a natural polymer derived from chitin, which is the main component of the shells of crustaceans, insects, and fungi. Chitosan is biodegradable, biocompatible, and non-toxic, and has many applications in agriculture, medicine, and biotechnology. Chitosan can act as a biocontrolagent by inhibiting the growth of harmful microorganisms, enhancing the immune system of plants, and inducing resistance against various stresses.
What are the benefits of our approach?
Our approach has several benefits for the environment, the farmers, and the consumers.
Replace or Reduce
the use of chemical pesticides, which can have negative impacts on human health and the environment
Increase the crop yield and quality
which can improve the food security and the income of the farmers.
Provide a natural and safe alternative
for plant protection, which can meet the demand of the consumers for organic and eco-friendly products.
Zero Residue
When the residues of chemical synthesis plant protection products are less than or equal to 0,01 mg/kg. This threshold is intended as the limit of analytical quantification currently proposed by the most qualified testing laboratories for most of the tests for pesticides.
What kind of Chitosan we have?
animal chitosan
Eliamin Plus
is a natural biopolimer obtaind from the deacetylation of chitin, extracted from crustaceans from free fishing or certified farms.
vegetable chitosan
ChitoINI
Chitoini, extracted from mushrooms grown with a patented method, offers complete defense for crops. Applicable via foliar or fertigation, it induces the production of phytoalexins with fungistatic and fungitoxic action. Preventive and curative against fungal pathogens, it limits bacteriosis and, as a tanning agent on seeds, promotes germination, robust roots and initial protection from fungal infections. Suitable for organic farming and perfect for vegan productions, Chitoini is the sustainable innovation for optimal plant growth.
Successful experiences from our customers
The sunflower covered with Eliamin Plus, stayed longer green without dead leaves and with also a good turgor of the plants.
For this reason, the Farmer didn't apply any fungicide.
