Supporting crop quality through seaweed -based compounds and yeast-derived metabolites

The EMEA market demands solutions that help deliver stronger, more resilient crops capable of performing under diverse environmental conditions. To answer this increasing need, Acadian Plant Health, a global leader in Ascophyllum nodosum, has collaborated with Agrauxine by Lesaffre, a global leader in yeast extracts, to develop Boosthor: a targeted biostimulant technology that combines stress-mitigating bioactive compounds with metabolism-boosting components to help crops maintain performance and quality when growing conditions become challenging.

This co-developed solution stands out by combining the bioactive properties of seaweed -based compounds with yeast-derived fermentation metabolites. Each component was selected for a specific, scientifically supported role within the plant creating a complementary effect that supports plant physiological performance and resilience to abiotic stress, bringing together synergistic modes of action to support plant growth, physiological performance and resilience under abiotic stress.

By supporting osmotic adjustment and cellular balance, Boosthor helps plant cells receive and retain water more efficiently. This contributes to improved water utilization, helping plants maintain adequate hydration for optimal growth and development.

Boosthor also stimulates plant metabolism and supports natural changes in plant growth hormones. This helps promote cellular differentiation, division and expansion, influencing the expression of genes involved in these processes. The overall effect is healthier, more vigorous plant growth, with benefits for yield quantity and quality in specialty crops and arable row crops.

For distributors looking to differentiate crop programmes in competitive markets, Boosthor offers a targeted solution that connects technical plant performance benefits with practical crop quality objectives.
