We develop biosolutions, from defining needs to market authorization, using an innovative, low-risk technique for identifying plant extracts to protect crops.Our formulations are based on two approaches: the holobiont and nutri-protection.
Expertise in identifying and selection active ingredients
Development of ready-to-use recommandations for farmers
We select plant extracts and identify active ingredients.
We work in close collaboration with ENSCR
Our formulations combine plant extracts, targeted trace elements, and carbon-based ingredients to stimulate the microbiome and plant defense reactions.
This understanding ensures successful field application.
A robust and proven R&D process :
An innovative formulation the protects the holobiont through nutri-protection
Regulatory Approval for crop protection
Defining the mode of action : an essentiel step
An integrative approach between the lab and the field.
Testing biosolutions in practical, value-driven protocols helps define product usage guidelines for farmers.


The platform is based on 3 units, part of the "Biocontrol Explorer for Plant Health" Research and Innovation Chair at UniLaSalle’s research laboratory in Rouen: :
Pathogen Evaluation Unit (figure A)
Plant Protection Evaluation Unit (figure B et C)
Microbiome Evaluation Unit (figure D)

PIPELINE
BIOCONTROL EXPLORER ™ Five phytoactives already identified



Our products are based on plant extracts with biocontrol properties and are formulated using the nutri-protection principle, enriched with trace elements. These products are backed by extensive research, including a CIFFR thesis, and close collaborations with INRAe and Biotransfer. Years of field trials have led to our final formulation, which has demonstrated high efficacy—both standalone and in combination with other products in crop protection programs. They are available as liquid formulations in concentrated suspension (SC).
