SAXSYM SAR & Nutrient use efficiency Technology

Innovation Overview

SAXSYM is a next-generation crop technology that complements crop development by triggering the plant’s inherent defense. This results in extending and enhancing the window of a plant’s defence which preserves enviromental stability. The technology augments and adds to the crop’s performance to achieve higher yields and better quality.

Increase in Plant Production
Field trials showed post-emergence plant population increased from 30,000 to 32,800 plants/acre. 

0 bu/ac

Increase in Yield
Yield improved from 218.25 to 228.4 bushels/acre – a gain of 10.15 bu/ac. 

Benefits In the field

  • Improves water use efficiency
  • Improves fertilizer use efficiency
  • Improves plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stress
  • Increases nutrient availability
  • Reduces chance of disease pressure
  • Supports plant performance across growth stages

the Science

SaxSym leverages multiple modes of action by combining the following components to enhance crop development at both cellular and systemic levels:

  • Biological agents to stimulate plant growth and maximising root architecture
  • Bioactive molecules to influence metabolism and trigger signalling pathways
  • Stress mitigation
  • Saccharides as a biological food source
MORE ABOUT THE SCIENCE

Innovation Efficacy

Here we show SaxSym™ Apex Foundation’s late season Nitrogen preservation and utilization in Corn. Nitrogen is mobile in the plant; an early symptom of nitrogen deficiency will initially display as discoloration of the bottom leaves. This trial is demonstrating how the technology is delivering nitrogen and allowing for a longer window in the growth cycle. Which ultimately leads to an increased yield.

Digging Deeper into the Technology

Establishment on the host plant

SaxSym Apex Foundation supports effective plant growth by establishing a strong presence in the rhizosphere. Its lipopeptides aid in root colonization and biofilm formation, allowing bacteria to deliver nutrients and growth compounds directly to the plant. Surfactin secretion further strengthens this plant-microbe interaction, ensuring persistence and performance.

Maximising root architecture and growth

SaxSym Apex Foundation strengthens plant immunity by producing surfactin and fengycin, which disrupt plasma membranes and trigger Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR). This defense response improves resilience to both abiotic and biotic stress, supporting overall plant health and yield performance.

Inducing systemic resistance

SaxSym Apex Foundation activates plant defenses by producing surfactin and fengycin, which disrupt plasma membranes and trigger Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR). This boosts resistance to both abiotic and biotic stress, improving plant health and increasing yield.

Increasing nutrient bioavailability

SaxSym Apex Foundation promotes effective plant growth by colonizing roots and forming stable biofilms in the rhizosphere. Its lipopeptides, especially surfactin, enhance root attachment and nutrient delivery, ensuring a strong, lasting plant-microbe relationship for improved performance.
