Problem
Farmers face increasing yield losses due to climate‑related stresses such as drought and heat, while reliance on conventional synthetic chemicals raises environmental and regulatory concerns. Existing crop protection options often lack specificity, can be harmful to ecosystems, and do not adequately support early plant development.
Solution
Fyteko offers bio‑based plant protection products that combine biostimulant and biocontrol functions to enhance crop performance and resilience. Their proprietary, chemically pure biomolecules—derived from hydroxycinnamic acid oligomers—activate natural plant tolerance mechanisms, improving seed emergence, vigor, and uniformity, and mitigating abiotic stress effects. The portfolio includes NURSEED® for seed treatment and NURSPRAY® for foliar application, both designed for easy integration into standard agronomic practices. Extensive field trials and commercial partnerships validate the efficacy and safety of these solutions, providing farmers with reliable alternatives to synthetic chemicals that support sustainable, climate‑resilient agriculture.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial growers and agribusinesses seeking sustainable, high‑performance inputs for cereal, vegetable, and specialty crops, as well as distributors and agricultural retailers that supply bio‑based solutions.
