Enhanced plant growth technology

Our biostimulant technology, Talsano™, stimulates rooting and plant growth and helps boost resilience to abiotic stress, enabling crops to grow stronger and more efficiently even under stress conditions.

Key benefits of Talsano

  • Enhances rooting
  • Increases shoot growth
  • Improves resilience to abiotic stress
  • Stimulates crop yields

Promoting plant growth

Plant growth is governed by both environmental conditions and internal physiological mechanisms. Agronomic interventions—such as the application of targeted biostimulants—can enhance these internal pathways, promoting robust growth even under suboptimal field conditions.

How does Talsano work?

Certain compounds are key building blocks for plants, used in many biological processes. Talsano is a precursor for thousands of metabolites that have important roles in plant growth, resilience to abiotic stress, signalling, and reproduction. While this precursor is naturally occurring and can be synthesised by plants, a foliar application can reduce the plant’s energy directed towards compound synthesis and, more importantly, stimulate certain biochemical pathways.

The effects of Talsano on signalling and plant growth

Two greenhouse trials assessed a wide range of Talsano concentrations applied to soybeans. Talsano application increased root weight up to an optimal concentration (conc 2) but was less effective at the highest concentration. There was a significant response to Talsano concentration (P<0.05), with up to an 11.4% increase in root weight. Additionally, the shoot weight (leaves and stems) increased by 5.5% at the optimal Talsano concentration. These effects contribute to overall healthy plant development. More data can be found in the Talsano data sheet.
