Pipeline of Products
Science farmers trust.
Innovation industry needs.
Biostimulants are products that enhance natural processes in soil or plants to improve yield, quality, or resilience. Over the last two decades, farmers have turned to biostimulants to boost crop performance.
Every active ingredient we develop is a proprietary version of a natural plant molecule – selected for its critical role in activating crop metabolism. Our pipeline targets two core biological levers:
- Source capacity: How efficiently a plant captures and produces nutrients and energy.
- Sink strength: How effectively it allocates nutrients and energy to developing tissues (e.g. grains, fruits, forage).
Each product is designed to give farmers a simple, high-performance tool: a concentrated liquid that mixes easily in the sprayer tank and is applied to the crop at the right time to deliver powerful results in the field.
Our lead active ingredient is a modified version of trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P), a natural plant sugar. We are patenting two other molecules in the next eight months, watch this space for updates once our patents achieve publication.
Trehalose-6-Phosphate (T6P)
Our lead active ingredient is a modified version of trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P), a natural plant sugar.
T6P helps plants shift from survival mode to productivity mode by inhibiting SnRK1, an enzyme that signals energy scarcity. The result: a metabolic shift from famine to feast. When applied late in the crop cycle, T6P directs carbon and nutrient allocation to grain filling.
The natural form of T6P is too charged to be absorbed through the leaf. Our version includes a chemical ‘cage’ that masks the charge, allowing the molecule to be absorbed and transported into the plant. Once inside the cell and exposed to light, the cage is cleaved off, releasing T6P in its active form.
T6P Scientific Research
Our T6P technology is backed by more than 25 years of research at the University of Oxford and Rothamsted Research, supported by funding from the UK’s Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.
The groundbreaking results of the academics who invented our technology, and later co-founded our venture, have been published in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals:
T6P Product Development
Since licensing the technology in 2021, we’ve been testing our proprietary T6P across multiple crops. Results from our scoping studies and proof-of-concept in glasshouse are presented below.
In wheat, our first target market, evaluation trials across five countries show that a single spray applied ten days after flowering can increase yields by up to 22% under optimal conditions, and up to 14% under drought stress.
We are working to launch our T6P wheat biostimulant in the UK in 2027 and in the EU in 2028, and we are expanding trials in soybean and maize to enter the US and Brazilian markets shortly after.
