the Science

Signalling enhances the symbiotic relationship between rhizobacteria and legume plants. Once rhizobacteria have colonized roots, promoting advanced nitrogen fixation and nutrient exchange and growth.​

  • Immediate communication between plant and bacteria, ensuring consistent nodulation in times of unforeseen biotic and abiotic stress.
  • Improved nitrogen availability for plants.
  • Bacteria with enhanced metabolic activity for improved nodulation.

OSMO protection induces cell wall thickening in the bacteria through the application of controlled stress. This resulted in enhanced cellular rigidity and robustness, ultimately improving the organism’s long-term viability on seeds.

  • Protects cellular structures
  • Ability to maintain 120 days on seed survival
  • Forms a protective barrier, reinforcing rhizobacteria cell walls
  • Ability to withstand harsh environments

Digging Deeper into the Technology

Highly Concentrated Formulation

Nitrogen is an essential element required in large quantities by leguminous plants for growth. Although nitrogen is available in the atmosphere it is unusable and unavailable to plants. Highly concentrated formulations have been scientifically developed for legume crops to support consistent and reliable biological nitrogen fixation, thereby making an otherwise unavailable nutrient, accessible.

Improved Seed Flowability with Hydrocolloid Technology

The term “hydrocolloid” is derived from the Greek words hydro meaning “water” and kola meaning “glue”. Hydrocolloids are hydrophilic (water-loving), high-molecular-weight molecules that generally contain several hydroxyl (-OH) groups and are polyelectrolytes. These com-pounds can also be used to control the functional properties (e.g. solubility, gelling, water binding, adhesion, film formation or encapsulation) of aqueous solutions. The presence of hydroxyl (-OH) groups on the hydrocolloid structure increases its affinity for water molecules. Moreover, gel formation involves the cross-linking of the polymer chains to form a three- dimensional network that immobilises water within it.

Improved Nodulation in Stressful Conditions

EXO Activation Technology is responsible for increasing the nitrogen fixation capabilities of the plant, even under adverse and stressful environmental conditions. This technology is created using a unique fermentation process; through stress the organisms become more resilient and produce additional signaling molecules which induce accelerated nodulation at the time of inoculation.

OSMO Protection

OSMO protection induces cell wall thickening in the bacteria through the application of controlled stress. This resulted in enhanced cellular rigidity and robustness, ultimately improving the organism’s long-term viability on seeds
