Nature and efficacy walk hand in hand

The synergy of 4 sources of natural raw materials

All our technologies are obtained from the synergy of four sources of natural raw materials, such as botany, microalgae, microbiology and green chemistry; encompassed in our 4 Health Technology.

To keep up with the ideal of returning to nature, we draw on nature itself to obtain plant extracts, microorganisms, and microalgae, through a selection of raw materials that follows strict quality controls.

Botany

Microbiology

Our R&D team works with probiotics that favor nutrition in the rhizosphere and with bioactive microorganisms against specific pests and diseases that affect the Cannabis sativa L. plant.

Through bacterial fermentation techniques, they obtain microorganisms capable of producing phytohormones and enzymes naturally, which are favorable for medical Cannabis crop.

Microalgae

Microalgae are receptors of CO2 and work as an active source of natural phytohormones, reinforcing resistance to biotic and abiotic stress, improving the uptake of macro and micronutrients and strengthening the immune system of the Cannabis sativa L. plant.

    Specific fermentation media: Based on microorganisms and compounds of interest.

    No company in our sector uses microalgae as an ingredient for biopesticides or biostimulants.

Microalgae

Green Chemistry

There are millions of microscopic beings in the seas and oceans, such as microalgae and cyanobacteria, most of them still unknown.  For us, it is a challenge to study and incorporate them into our solutions since we can obtain a multitude of bioactive compounds.

With all this, we enhance our products’ effect with the help of the plant itself.

    Foliar applications:

    Organic adjuvants: Absorption: surfactants. Adsorption: adherents

    Selection based on: Specific crop. Knowledge of foliar structure. The life cycle of target pest: eggs, larvae, adults, fungal spores, bacteria.

    As a result: drop extension and penetration of active ingredients.

    Root applications: Organic adjuvants: Dispersion: Wetting.

    As a result: Better penetration of active ingredients. Lateral movement and uniform moisture.

    Natural ingredients to stimulate plant physiology in specific phases of crop cycles: Rooting compounds, hardening compounds, improving penetration in leaves.
