French company Elicit PLant creates solution against water stress based on plant phytosterols

A medida que crece la preocupación global por la sequía en los campos, aumentan las innovaciones que buscan aumentar su resistencia. Es el caso de la francesa Elicit PLant, firma basada en  La Rochefoucauld y que tras cuatro años de investigaciones, presenta un bioestimulante que “al mercado reduce significativamente la necesidad de agua en los cultivos, al tiempo que asegura el potencial de cosecha”. 

The product, based on phytosterole, a type of plant extract, has been extensively tested with good results on soybean, corn and sunflower crops. 

According to Elicit Plant, "several marketing authorizations are expected soon worldwide: in France, of course, but also in producing countries such as Brazil or the USA". They are also studying this solution on other crops, which may be under water stress, such as wheat and barley.
