DMSP: A next-generation biostimulant

Tech ID: 24.710

Key Features

• Stress tolerance: Tomato plants treated with DMSP showed significantly higher resistance to salt and oxidative stress.
• Yield benefits: Barley demonstrated increased biomass under both normal and stress conditions, highlighting broad growth advantages.
• Performance under normal conditions: Wheat showed marked increases in chlorophyll content and biomass even without stress—pointing to real yield gains in standard farming environments.
• Proven persistence: Single root-drench or foliar spray applications maintain elevated DMSP levels in leaves for extended periods, reducing the need for reapplication.
• Commercial potential: With consistent results across species and delivery methods, DMSP stands out as a versatile new tool to safeguard productivity and improve agricultural sustainability.

Description
