KaitoSol® is a foliar biostimulant which is 100 % natural. It is based on ActiveChitosan, a molecule made from plant and shrimp extracts.

ActiveChitosan is the main active ingredient in KaitoSol®. It was developed at The University of Cambridge. It has an optimised structure and chemi-cal composition when compared to regular chitosan, creating an improved interaction with the plant. The optimised size and uniformity of the molecule creates a highly active compound.

- NEVER mix with pesticides. Mix only with water.- Do not apply two days before and/or after a herbicide application.- FOLIAR application. It can be applied through manual or mechanical means.- Mix with enough water to completely cover the area to treat.- Shake product before use.- Do not add to the tank when completely empty or completely full.

General application procedure and recommendations (It is important to mention that KaitoSol® is not a replacement of standard fertilizers and should be used as an addition to standard

practices. However, it has been noticed that the use of KaitoSol® might reduce usage of pesticides and fertilizers).

ChitosanActive

2.- It has high adherence properties, creating a nurturing layer, - and it acts as a natural barrier against external agents

3.Since the molecule remains attached to the plant for an extended period, there is good absorption and small loss of active material. ActiveChitosan, as it is absorbed, enhances the strength of the plant and provides to the plant nutrients.

4.What happens:- Increases yield- Reduction in growth time- Aids on preventing disease- Enhances the strength of the plant- Induces chitin & phytoalexin enzymes

How KaitoSol® works

1.KaitoSol® is applied to the leaves and trunk of the plants via spray.

Examples of Product BenefitsWhere: Tolima, ColombiaVariety: ChontoProduction before applying KaitoSol®: 29 ton/HaType of application: foliar and dripResults: Increase in 30% of the mass of the tomatoes by using foliar application. If only using drip application, the increase in mass of each tomato was 25%. Drip application will require approximately twice as much KaitoSol® to produce similar results as foliar application.

Main Application ProcedureOnly mix with water. Shake product before use.

Examples of Product BenefitsWhere: Tolima, Colombia.Variety: Pastusa.Production before applying KaitoSol®: 24 ton/Ha.Type of application: foliar, biweekly (2 L/Ha).Results: 14 tons/Ha increase (78% increase in yield). An increase in 35% of the weight of each potato and an increase in 32% in the number of potatoes per hectare. Phytophthora infestans presented itself, but it was treated with a fungicide. Therefore, the improvements seen in the trial are attributed to biostimulation.

Main Application ProcedureOnly mix with water. Shake product before use.

Examples of Product Benefits

Plant vigour has increased and a reduction of infections has been seen. In ornamentals, we have obtained a reduction in growth time by approximately 15%.

Main Application ProcedureOnly mix with water. Shake product before use. Spray approximately 1 meter away from the plant.
