SeiZen biostimulant, developed by Seipasa, has obtained European registration.

SeiZen has a broad label, ranging from field crops to horticultural crops, woody crops, ornamentals and medicinal and aromatic plants.

The liquid biostimulant was developed on the basis of PK-Tech, for which the company has initiated a patent process. This technology is based on the ASM (anti-senescence molecule) developed by Seipasa. The company says the product allows the plant to convert light energy into chemical energy and redirect it to where it considers necessary depending on its developmental stage.

The European registration was granted under the Product Function Category (PFC) 6 (B) (non-microbial plant biostimulant) according to the new EU Regulation 2019/1009. The company says this new certification guarantees its marketing at European level under its specific function as a biostimulant product, based on the multiple tests that guarantee its efficacy and action on crops.

“The new EU Regulation 2019/1009 takes us to a much more technical market where all the knowledge, development and innovation we have behind us will be key to reaching the farmer with a differentiated proposition,” said Francisco Espinosa, Seipasa’s R&D director.

The main added value of this regulatory framework is that it is possible to legally market a product at European level with a specific biostimulant claim, differentiating it from the mere nutritional contribution of a fertilizer.
