Belgian-based Fyteko has announced an exclusive distribution agreement with Kwizda Agro to bring its NURSPRAY HC crop biostimulant to Austrian, Hungarian and Romanian farmers.

NURSPRAY HC is a foliar spray comprising a naturally occurring signal molecule that Fyteko says boosts crop resilience and enhances crop recovery when under stress.

The formula, based on the hydroxycinnamic oligomers found in all plant cells, activates plants’ internal tolerance mechanism towards abiotic stresses such as drought and high temperatures.

Fyteko notes the collaboration expands its footprint in Europe, and enables the companies to provide Austrian, Hungarian and Romanian farmers with a bio-based biostimulant to help mitigate abiotic stresses in arable and specialty crops.

“Our products have already impressed growers in many European countries; it is satisfying to see how new partners such as Kwizda Agro are keen to use our biosolutions and are aligned with our mission to get a more sustainable agriculture, ” said Guillaume WEGRIA, CEO and co-founder of Fyteko.

Fyteko was founded in 2014. Its enzymatic synthesis technology is based on patented biosourced molecules (oligomers of hydroxycinnamic acids, initially extracted from plants). This technology makes it possible to produce biostimulants, biological optimizers for herbicides and biopesticide molecules.
