[📢 New partnership] - BASF and Elicit Plant to accelerate the deployment of innovative bio-solutions! ➡️ https://bit.ly/40l9A6B We are delighted to announce our collaboration with BASF Agricultural Solutions - Agro Division - in France to accelerate the adoption of our EliGrain-a and Elisun-a biosolutions in the sunflower and straw cereals markets, starting with the 2024-2025 campaign. This strategic partnership aims to boost crop resilience in the face of climatic challenges, while optimizing water management and crop yields. 👉 EliGrain-a: an asset for straw cereals, with an average yield increase of +3.8 q/ha. 👉 Elisun-a: a solution adapted to the hydric constraints of sunflowers, providing an average gain of +3.2 q/ha. Thanks to this alliance, BASF and Elicit Plant sales teams will work hand in hand to offer farmers concrete, effective and sustainable solutions. 🌱 Together, we are meeting the challenges of modern agriculture by combining innovation, performance and sustainability for a successful agroecological transition. 🌾 #SustainableAgriculture #BioSolutions #AgriculturalInnovation #Partnership #ClimateResilience #Agroecology #Sunflower #Cereals #Wheat #Barley

🌱 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗳𝘆 𝗩𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗺 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗿 (𝗕𝗙𝗕𝗙)🌿 Exciting news for sustainable agriculture! Our research reveals groundbreaking findings on the use of biofilm biofertilizer (BFBF) in Gotukola (Centella asiatica) cultivation: 🅺🅴🆈 🅵🅸🅽🅳🅸🅽🅶🆂: - No Yield Compromise: Even with only 60% of the usual chemical fertilizer (CF) rate, Gotukola yields remained robust and unaffected. - Optimal CF Reduction: By identifying 60% of the current CF rate as the optimum for the crop, we discovered that we can further reduce CF usage to just 48% when combined with BFBF. - Comparable Growth: The combination of 48% CF and BFBF produced plant growth comparable to that achieved with 100% CF, highlighting BFBF's efficiency. These findings are a game-changer for sustainable Gotukola cultivation, showing that BFBF can significantly cut down CF use while maintaining high yields. This means healthier produce for consumers and a greener, more eco-friendly approach to farming.

🌱 QEL: Enhancing Nutrient Absorption to Boost Root Growth for Agricultural Success 🌾 We’re excited to share QEL, an innovative proprietary quillaja solution developed by Plantae Labs as part of Corfo project 22PTECCC-219373, led by Sebastián Delbene. QEL is formulated to enhance nutrient uptake and root growth, a crucial factor for crop health and yield, while leveraging the natural compounds from Quillaja saponaria to improve plant resilience. 🔬 With this study, we discovered how QEL aids in early seedling development, fostering stronger and more vigorous root systems. These enhancements enable plants to access more nutrients and water, improving their overall health and performance in challenging conditions. One of the key innovations behind QEL is its formulation—rich in auxins and cytokinins, obtained through upcycling byproducts from the Quillay industry. This sustainable approach not only maximizes the value of natural resources but also delivers enhanced plant performance across multiple crops. By promoting nitrogen absorption, QEL helps plants achieve better vitality and root growth, with reduced dependence on chemical fertilizers, thus supporting sustainable farming practices. 👉 Discover how QEL can optimize your crops' growth potential.

Kyle Massey, a former corporate finance professional turned farmer, founded Lone Star Lettuce Growers in response to the growing demand for locally grown organic produce in central Texas. Initially experimenting with aquaponics, Massey encountered challenges in maintaining optimal conditions for cultivation. In a strategic move, Massey transitioned Lone Star Lettuce Growers to organic hydroponics and integrated Moleaer nanobubble technology to optimize dissolved oxygen levels. This solution led to remarkable improvements in crop quality and yield. Consistent dissolved oxygen levels of 13 PPM and reduced algae growth were notable outcomes attributed to Moleaer's technology.
