Innovative Approach to Research

Valagro carried out an integrated “omics & field-trials” approach to characterize the physiological effect of YieldON using different model plants (Arabidopsis thaliana, maize and soybean). The focus was primarily on gene expression and plant phenomic analyses. Thanks to the last “Next Generation Sequencing Technology” researchers accurately detected all expressed genes for agronomically relevant crops like corn and soybean. The results at the molecular and morphometric/physiological levels complemented the evidence found in field trials.

YieldON leverages a new combination of extracts never before used!

More than 65% of the composition on a dry base, is characterized by a selection of extracts from three distinct families of plants and seaweeds enriched with trace elements Mn, Zn and Mo. After a strict screening of different plants and seaweeds researchers selected these 3 classification families for their highest active substances.

The most innovative technologies such as Genomics, Phenomics and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) allowed researchers to detect expressed genes - related to the increase of plant productivity - directly on corn and soybean.  In trials, plants treated with YieldON, when compared to untreated, revealed those genes which are most influenced by YieldON.
